What are short-form videos? Bretous defines short-form video as a video up to two-and-half minutes in length.

Why are we talking about short-form videos? “Short-form video has the highest ROI of any social media marketing strategy as 30% of social media marketers plan to invest in it more than any other trend in 2022.” Furthermore, “A 2020 study by Wyzowl reported that people share videos at twice the rate than any other form of content.”

#1. Brand challenges. “Brand challenges are a great way to gain a burst of traffic, build community and engage your audience.”

#2. Influencer ads.

#3. Product teasers.

#4. More user-generated content.
