Course Overview | |
Vertical video is fast developing as an innovative form of storytelling. Half of the time people spend online is now on a smartphone, forcing the traditional horizontal video format to turn on its side and invite 9:16 to be the new norm. This year, the vertical video format is estimated to take up 80% of all internet traffic. More than 75% of worldwide video viewing is on a mobile, and 9 out of 10 mobile users share the videos they’ve seen with others. It is a global phenomenon so mastering content for vertical storytelling is key to increasing your brand’s market share on social media! |

How to capture eyeballs in seconds. We scroll thru 300 feet of content every single day. We're currently living in an online world of massive information, and these days, we’re exposed to more information than ever before. From social media posts to news and entertainment promotions, people are fed continuously with attention-seeking content, and it has become easy to brush aside information deemed irrelevant. So how can we then effectively grab the attention of people with our online content, be it our social circle, business network, or customers? Do you have what it takes to create "Thumb-Stopping Vertical Content?" If your content is terrible, the thumb will scroll, swipe or delete it immediately. But if your content is good, the only action you want it to do is to give a thumbs up, to get the "Likes." |
