Dynamic Content

Funny illustration glossary
The internet’s way of saying, "We know what you like".

Dynamic content refers to media or web content that changes in real time based on user interactions, preferences, or behaviors. Unlike static content, which remains the same for everyone, dynamic content is tailored to individual users, creating a more personalized and engaging experience. You’ll see it in action on social media (personalized feeds and targeted ads), email marketing (customized subject lines and recommendations), and e-commerce websites (product suggestions based on browsing history).

Why does your feed always seem to “know” what you like?

Ever noticed how your favorite online store recommends products you’ve been eyeing, or how your social media feed shows posts perfectly aligned with your interests? That’s dynamic content at work - shaping what you see based on your past interactions and preferences.

  • Enhances user experience: Delivers content that feels relevant and useful.
  • Increases engagement: People interact more with content that speaks directly to them.
  • Boosts conversions: Personalized recommendations drive higher sales and sign-ups.
  • Optimizes marketing efforts: Allows businesses to tailor messaging for different audience segments.

Where is dynamic content used?

  1. Social media: feeds, suggested posts, and personalized ads.
  2. Websites: e-commerce recommendations and customized landing pages.
  3. Email marketing: subject lines and offers that change based on user behavior.
  4. Streaming platforms: suggested movies, shows, or music playlists.

How does dynamic content work exactly?

  • Collects user data (e.g., browsing history, location, engagement).
  • Uses algorithms to determine relevant content.
  • Updates content in real time based on user preferences and interactions.

How is dynamic content different from static content?

Dynamic content adjusts in real time (e.g., personalized recommendations). Static content stays the same for all users (e.g., a homepage banner that doesn’t change).

What tools help create dynamic content?

  • Kontentino (for scheduling and adapting content based on audience insights).
  • Google Optimize (for A/B testing and personalized web experiences).
  • HubSpot (for dynamic email marketing and website personalization).
  • Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) (for dynamically changing ad creatives based on user behavior).

Why is dynamic content important for social media marketing?

  1. Keeps feeds relevant by showing users posts they’re most likely to engage with.
  2. Improves ad performance through personalized targeting.
  3. Helps brands create a more tailored, user-friendly experience.
