Short-Form Video: Bite-Sized Content, Big Impact

Rebecca Rothstein September 19, 2025

Scroll any feed and you’ll see it: quick, punchy videos grabbing attention instantly. Short-form content isn’t just a trend — it’s the default format for an entire generation.

What It Means
Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts prioritize videos under a minute. The goal is simple: capture attention quickly and keep people watching.

Why It Matters
Short-form video fuels engagement, boosts discoverability, and allows brands to show personality fast. It’s also incredibly shareable, making it a growth engine for organic reach.

How It’s Showing Up

  • Quick tutorials and product demos

  • Behind-the-scenes peeks at brand culture

  • Playful trends and challenges that ride cultural waves

The Short of it
Brands that master short-form storytelling can build deep connections in seconds. Attention spans may be shrinking, but the impact is bigger than ever.
