The Rise of Short-Form Video: How TikTok, Reels, and Shorts Are Shaping #Influence Short-form video has transformed content creation and engagement, becoming the most powerful format for connecting with modern audiences. With staggering statistics: • #TikTok now has 1.7 billion active users, with users spending an average of 95 minutes per day on the app. • #YouTube #Shorts generates over 50 billion daily views globally. • #Instagram #Reels accounts for 20% of all activity on the platform. The numbers make one thing clear: short-form video is not a fleeting trend—it’s the future of storytelling and influence. For public figures and media personalities, short-form content has the ability to bridge cultures, #connect with audiences, and open doors to opportunities that were once unimaginable. A prime example is Safia Al Shehi, a prominent Emirati public media figure and a valued client and very dear friend, now in her 6th year with us. Over the years, we adapted multiple social media formats to align with her evolving reputation, ensuring her content remained authentic, impactful, and true to #Emirati values.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s book, showcased at the Sharjah International Book Fair, an event of deep cultural and literary #significance. Her success demonstrates how culturally aligned storytelling through social media builds #trust and influence. It also showcases how platforms like Instagram and YouTube empower individuals to connect meaningfully with both local and global audiences while staying rooted in #identity and #tradition.
