Platforms

Platform distribution

TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and X each play a defined role in a campaign rather than receiving the same file.

In short

Four destinations, four jobs. TikTok for discovery retries, Reels for visual clarity and sharing, Shorts for searchable evergreen reach, X for framed conversation.

Conversation-led, where the framing sentence carries the clip.
