What is a social media video?

A social media video is an essential tool in the modern digital world, ideal for platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube. These videos are short but packed with content, ranging from personal vlogs to impressive company promotions. The goal? Grab and hold attention with an engaging and clear message.

These videos are specifically designed to be short and sweet, using interactive elements such as stories, polls and surveys to increase engagement. Creativity and visual appeal are key to capturing viewers' attention. A clear, simple message and a well-chosen tone of voice are crucial to evoke the desired emotion.

An effective social media video concludes with a compelling call-to-action, encouraged by the use of relevant hashtags for greater reach. At On The Rocks, we are masters at creating this engaging content. We help tell your story in a way that is not only seen, but also remembered. Let us be your guide in the world of social media videos.

Which type of video works best on social media?

You have just 5 seconds to grab the spotlight online. On social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, your video needs to stand out. What works? Think short music videos, helpful tutorials, a behind-the-scenes look, inspiring backstories, personal stories, challenging challenges, videos that go viral and even live videos. 

But, remember: the success of your video depends entirely on who you reach and where. Know your audience, understand what they want, and focus on creating videos that are not only top quality, but also engaging and spot-on relevant to your viewers. With On The Rocks, we make sure your content is not only seen, but really sticks.

How do you make your video suitable for all social media channels?

Want your video to be a hit on social media like Instagram and LinkedIn? Keep it short and sweet with On The Rocks. Our tip: add subtitles! This will make your video accessible to everyone, even if the sound is off or for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Don't forget to adapt your videos to each channel's unique requirements - think about the right size, length and file type.

An eye-catching thumbnail is the key to success. This will immediately grab the attention of your viewers. And of course, the content should be engaging and resonate with your audience. Add hashtags to make your video even more findable. At On The Rocks, we make sure videos are not only seen, but also remembered and shared. Let us help you make your video a real eye-catcher!
