Latest Social Media Marketing and Google Trends: May 2, 2025 🗞️

Here is what’s trending on social media, the top searched marketing topics, and the most relevant tech updates on May 2, 2025:

Social Media Content Trends 

• Real Talent: Content that showcases your talents in any craft (music, art, construction, etc.) never gets old. So, record your skills, show them off, and gain exposure and positive engagement!
  
  
• Giving Yourself a Round of Applause is a TikTok trend in which people clap to themselves (and the Black Widow song) about real accomplishments, ironic situations, or sarcastic but relatable life statements.
  
  
• ASMR Content performs well on TikTok and YouTube; you don’t have to be an ASMR specialist.
  
  You can whisper a story from your life, about your business, ask a question, and make supporting ASMR sounds.
  
  
• Sarcastic Quotes and Scenarios seem to be trending all over social media, where people make fun of work scenarios, political and economic movements, global problems, relationships, and themselves.
  
  
• Motivational Speakers, Videos, and Voiceovers, especially when recorded without edits, get a lot of views and engagement.
  
  If you are a creator who holds seminars or in-person meetings, record yourself and your audience during them, then repurpose the content for different platforms.
  
  
• God, Chuch, and Religion are trending topics on Facebook Reels and TikTok.
  
  Speakers who explain the importance of belief in terms that most can understand, and by providing scenarios and examples of how to use your belief in real life, perform best on social media (and in real life).
  
  
• Hyping Yourself Up: A humorous content trend on most platforms when people hype themselves up to deal with toxic and draining situations, and simply life.
  
  
• 1 Gorilla vs 100 Men: Everyone wants to know whether 100 men can beat one gorilla in a fight. Post your opinion on social media to boost engagement.
  
  Our take? 100 men would eventually win, but the gorilla would take out “more than a few” before it finally succumbs to fatigue and gets overpowered… Gorillas are exceptionally strong! 🦍
