Forget the Long Ads. This Works 10X Better on Meta Ads
Here is why short videos are outperforming long-form ads and how to make them work for your brand.

Are your ads too long for today’s attention span?
In this YouTube video, I break down why short-form ads are outperforming longer creatives on Meta and what that means for your brand.
We’ve created tens of thousands of ads for 120+ DTC brands, and the data is clear that short videos perform better for:
✅ Highly visual products (fashion)
✅ Products that have something unique that can be easily demonstrated (unique gadgets)
❌ People can’t visually see how the product is different from others (health and wellness)
❌ Products require education or complex explanation (new supplements)
