- Tailor per platform. What works on TikTok won’t land on LinkedIn – match content to channel.
- Blend formats. Use unboxing videos, audiograms, skits, and meme-driven formats to appeal across demographics.
- Track outcomes. Views are nice, but conversions and sentiment are gold. Use UTM, tracking links, and engagement dashboards.
