What’s challenging is that consumers are willing to skip and click out of anything that gets between them and their content. So what’s a digital marketer to do?

As Aubry explained, social content is native content. Consumers value social because it’s timely and trusted. In fact, consumers would rather learn about a brand’s products through content, not traditional advertising.

And for good reason. Social content is the most effective kind of native advertising there is (eMarketer). #socialmedia makes up 60% of native ad spend!
