YouTube has been around for years, home to long-form videos, ads and movies, its presence in terms of marketing strategies has drastically changed over time. Tiktok on the other hand is one the newest social media platforms and is all about shorter content plus all the classic social features such as DM’s, mentions and trends.

If you’re considering investing in video marketing but are not sure which avenue to go down, this guide will help you discover which app suits your business goals and how both of these have changed and adapted to meet current markets.

The world of video marketing is witnessing a dramatic shift towards short-form content, mainly due to the takeover of Tiktok. However, like many things, some believe it will be a forever revolving door and will go through spells of short and long content being preferred. Moving into the near future, short-form content is definitely on the rise especially due to audience attention spans just not being what they used to be.
