Why Your Business Needs Short-Form Video Marketing in 2025

In 2025, if your business isn’t leveraging short-form video marketing, you might as well be broadcasting on a VHS. Gone are the days when long-form documentaries and detailed video blogs ruled the digital marketing world. Now, it’s all about snappy, snackable content that packs a punch in a minute or less. Here’s why TikToks and Instagram Reels are the MVPs of digital marketing for businesses today.

Instant Attention Grabbers

Let’s face it: our attention spans aren’t what they used to be. Short-form videos fit perfectly into our fast-paced lives. They’re quick, they’re fun, and they get straight to the point. This makes Reels and TikToks the perfect tools for grabbing attention in a crowded digital landscape.

 

Video Marketing can be Cost-Effective Content

Producing a 30-minute video can drain your wallet faster than saying “production costs.” But short-form videos? They’re budget-friendly and can often be shot in a day or edited on the fly with nothing more than a smartphone and a good idea.

Want to Increase Engagement? Video Marketing Can help!

Short videos don’t just stop the scroll; they start conversations. TikToks and Reels are more likely to be shared, commented on, and saved, which boosts your brand’s visibility and engagement. And with algorithms favouring video content, these little snippets can be your ticket to the top of everyone’s feed.

Does Video Marketing Boost SEO?

Think video content and SEO don’t mix? Think again! Platforms like TikTok and Instagram are increasingly being indexed by search engines, making your videos a potent tool for driving organic traffic. Plus, video thumbnails stand out in search results, which can increase click-through rates dramatically.

Showcasing Your Brand’s Personality using Video marketing

Short-form video is the perfect format for showing off what makes your brand unique. Whether it’s a behind-the-scenes look at your process, a hilarious take on your industry, or a heartfelt story from your founder, these videos can convey personality and build a personal connection with your audience.

So, what are you waiting for? Dive into the fast-paced world of short-form video and watch your engagement—and your business—soar!

I am a web developer with over eight years of experience in the industry. I specialize in WordPress site development, honing my skills in creating dynamic, user-friendly websites that cater to a wide range of clients and needs. Though my primary focus is on WordPress theme development, I also love doing design work, bringing a unique blend of technical proficiency and creativity to every project.

Outside of my professional life, I am a dedicated family man with two daughters. I enjoy travelling with them, exploring new places, and creating memories together.

Hayden

Social Media Manager

Hi! I’m Hayden, Get Social YEG’s Social Media Manager. My role on the team is to assist in the development of your social media strategy and to come up with creative ideas that connect with your audience. I have always loved to create, with my hobbies fluctuating between traditional and digital art throughout my entire life.

I am a huge cat lover and have 3 of my own. All of them happen to be black cats, but I swear I’m not a witch!

In my spare time you can find me playing The Sims or Mario Kart. Right now, I’m Toad but honestly, I could be anybody.

Dan

Multimedia Designer

Hello! I’m Dan Michael, the video editor at Get Social YEG and a lifelong artist. I’ve been hooked on art since I was a kid, collecting Marvel and DC comics and spending hours drawing. Being an introvert, art was my escape, which eventually led me to graphic design and video editing. One of my proudest achievements is illustrating three short storybooks now used as learning materials in public schools in the Philippines!

I have two awesome kids, Liam and Saoirse, and one amazing wife. We all live in Lanao del Norte.

In my spare time, I love diving into MMORPGs or going head-to-head in 1 vs 1 games with my kids.

Anna

Senior Graphic Designer

Hello! My name is Anna. I am Get Social YEG’s Graphic Designer. Basically, I create/edit images or videos.
I have a Communications Management degree, but I fell in love with Graphic Design, and now I made a career out of it.

I am an ENFJ, but I am more of a stay-at-home extrovert. In my spare time, I either play video games or draw illustrations.

Doing designs can burn you out since you can’t be creative every day, but Gatorade, a little chocolate, and good R & B music always help get my tasks done
