The future of social media: 7 expert predictions for 2026
by Sprout Social
As Sprout Social users, we’re keeping a close eye on how the future of social is unfolding. Sprout’s latest “Future of Social Media” report predicts that brands in 2026 will need to diversify beyond their main profiles, show up in smaller private communities, and lean into social intelligence as a core business asset, not just a reporting function.
The takeaway: brands that treat social as a relationship engine—listening closely, acting on insights, and being transparent about how they use AI—will see the biggest lift in results.

Artist Spotlight: Thomas Sayre
Thomas Sayre is an American sculptor and painter whose latest work now lives at The Holston. This organic, tree-inspired form was thoughtfully created to complement the building’s natural, elevated atmosphere. From the beginning stages in Thomas’ workshop to the final lift into place, seeing this piece take shape was an incredible process to witness.
