What does a former Twitter insider believe about the future of capturing the short-form attention span?
Sorry. What was that first sentence? I was writing this on my mobile.
When it comes to short-form content, you’re competing with everyone on their phone all the time—and platforms who capture your attention the fastest possess all the power.
Today we’re learning from Ted Harrison, former Head of Production at one of the biggest short-form platforms out there, Twitter.
Ted shares why, no matter how hard you might try, you simply can’t resist the urge to click on clickbait (spoiler alert: it always works), how to think outside the box on the rules of content creation (which he does every day at his new venture, Neue Motion), and what a multi-channel approach can teach us about finding inspiration where you least expect it.
