SXSW 2025

Why Aren’t All Brands Taking Social Commerce Seriously?

Description:

Social commerce generated $570 billion globally in 2023, driven by Gen Z, which is embracing it. Yet very few brands are leaning-in beyond paid posts. This panel session will uncover the truth behind the headlines; debate what the opportunity is; and showcase how - and if - brands can leverage.

We will bring together experts from brands and the channels to give the audience a definitive answer to the questions they have around social commerce and if brands should be doing more in the space.

A white paper will be supplied ahead of the session, accessible via a website (and download)

  2. Who is doing it well
