The Vertical Video Imperative – TikTok & Reels for SMB Growth
Short-form vertical video has become a dominant force in digital advertising, with platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels driving engagement rates higher than static content. Advertisers worldwide are recognizing this shift, with nine out of 10 planning to increase investment in vertical video formats. These videos are proving highly effective, boasting a 90% brand recall rate, compared to 69% for horizontal videos.

Additionally, Reels drive 55% more interactions than single-image posts and 29% more than standard videos, reinforcing their role in social media success.
TikTok also plays a critical role in consumer behavior, with 92% of users taking action after watching a video and 56% stating that TikTok ads introduce them to new products or brands. Moreover, TikTok has seen an explosion in business usage, with more than a third of SMBs claiming TikTok is critical to their business.
