Key Takeaways

Actionable points curated for this category.

01

Design for each platform

Use 1:1 and 4:5 for feeds; 9:16 for Stories/Reels/Shorts/TikTok. Keep text in safe zones, add captions, and export in sRGB.

02

Build a reusable visual system

Define typography scales, color tokens, logo rules, grids, and sticker/icon sets. Ship templates per content pillar to speed output.

03

Prioritize the first 2 seconds

Open with motion or contrast, show product or payoff fast, use tight framing, a bold sub-8-word hook, and burned-in captions.

04

Test systematically

Isolate one variable per test, run equal budgets, 3–5 variants, clear stop rules, and name files/ads consistently with UTMs.

05

Measure what matters

Track thumbstop rate (3s views/impressions), avg watch time, saves, shares, CTR, cost per result, and ROAS; iterate weekly.

06

Plan for accessibility and rights

Provide captions and alt text, meet WCAG AA contrast, avoid rapid flashes, secure creator permissions, and log licenses/disclosures.
