A recent Search Engine Land survey of 1000 Marketers reveals a sharp decline in digital marketers investing in X (formerly Twitter), dropping from 27% in Q1 to 17%.
Meanwhile, Google and Meta platforms dominate as investment targets at 81% and 57% respectively. Microsoft's LinkedIn garners interest from 40% of marketers, with Bing and other Microsoft properties at 31%. Among retail networks, Amazon leads at 27%, followed by Walmart at 11%.
