Short-form video has officially taken over. With platforms like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok still thriving in 2025, brands are prioritizing snackable, scroll-stopping content to grab attention, tell stories, and drive conversions.
Why Short-Form Video Works
- High engagement: Short videos outperform static posts in reach and watch time.
- Algorithm favor: Platforms push fresh, high-retention content to new audiences.
- Low production barrier: Authentic, phone-shot videos often perform better than polished ones.
