With everyone using social media to promote their businesses, it is key to find a way for the business to stand out amongst the rest. Less people are using a desktop and more are solely depending on their mobile devices.

A great way to create easy engaging content is to create a mobile video. This can be placed on social media platforms and also websites- keep in mind it is important that the website adapts with speed and appearance on a mobile device, be sure to speak to your web developer about this.
