SHORT-FORM VIDEO IS DRIVING VIEWERS TO WATCH FULL TV SHOWS

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Short-form videos on social platforms are increasingly functioning as a discovery mechanism for longer-form television and film, especially among younger viewers. 85% of 16-24 year olds watch short-form weekly, with 69% daily, and 87% of them reported watching full programmes after seeing clips. Social discovery is strongest among this age group, with 49% finding shows via social platforms and trending audio influencing half of them. Meanwhile, older viewers are less affected by social content.
