From new TikTok trends to the launch of IG Reels, this summer in the media world has been something that we have never seen before. Quarantine has allowed us to explore new ways to express and entertain ourselves while being at least six feet apart.

It is important to prepare as much as possible before debuting your story, to gain control of your brand's narrative and present it in the right way.

In the past few years, video-based content has become increasingly more popular among Gen-Z-ers with apps like Triller and TikTok growing in market share at an unprecedented rate. While IG stories could be considered the very beginning of large-scale short video use, the impact of this style of content was truly brought to light when TikTok went viral.

With over 1 Billion active users and a top-five in downloads for the past 2 years in a row, TikTok has become one of the leading platforms for content creators all over the world.
