WeArisma Featured in SvD Näringsliv: Analyzing the Future of Meta’s Threads
Exciting news! We’re thrilled to share that WeArisma has been featured in a major Swedish media platform: SvD Näringsliv, shedding light on whether Meta’s latest sensation, Threads, is here to stay.
“Threads got off to a strong start and engaged over 100 million users in the first five days after its release. Rapid growth propelled Threads to rank 5th globally in Q3 downloads.“
However, what could hold the future success of Threads back in all regions is the lack of features that users and brands alike would expect.
“Despite user numbers falling in the UK, some reports have indicated that advertisers are seeing greater engagement on Threads than X, which may be partly due to Threads sharing Instagram’s confirmation culture.”
We are excited for the future of Threads and will be closely following Threads’ developments.

Access timely cultural trends, strategic creator guidance, and industry best practices.
Cannes Lions has always been where the industry takes stock, not just of the work, but of where the money is going and why. This year, creator marketing will be front and centre. Not because it’s new, but because the ground underneath it is shifting in ways that are forcing brands to fundamentally rethink how they plan, measure and value creator partnerships.
Here are the three topics we expect to define the week.
The top 100 media and entertainment brands across video streaming, audio streaming, and content creation generated $63.4B in total Earned Media Value in 2025, up +7.0% YoY. Growth is uneven across sub-sectors, video streaming surged while audio streaming declined sharply, platform dynamics are shifting fast, and a handful of breakout brands are rewriting what influence looks like in entertainment.
TikTok grew +70.2% YoY and is rapidly closing the gap on YouTube as the dominant entertainment influence platform. YouTube remains #1 at $32.6B but declined -11.3%, while Instagram grew +4.4% to $13.3B. Facebook nearly doubled to $7.3B (+98.9%), making media and entertainment one of the few categories where four platforms are genuinely competing for share.
