Six seconds is not a shorter story; it is a different organ.

Where this fits

Six seconds is not a shorter story; it is a different organ. This guide skips the theory and keeps what has worked across hundreds of shipped campaigns.

The essentials

  • One visual claim per micro-video — pair, punch, loop
  • Design the loop point first; seams sell restarts
  • Type does the narration in muted feeds
  • Ship micro-cuts as a series; singletons starve
  • Use bumpers as reminders, never introductions

The proof point

6s — the format that lifted full-video completion by priming viewers with the payoff first.

The bottom line

Think of micro-video as your billboard fleet — small, many, and pointed.
