Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Discovery now spreads through short clips rather than original content, so content should be designed for remixable moments that travel across platforms. A 30-second scene from Apex made a 2015 Chemical Brothers song go viral, driving a 429% spike in Spotify streams and increasing the film's viewership from 38 - 40 million in its second week. Attention moves quickly, with audiences often engaging with clips without consuming the source. Brands that package and monetize assets during spikes can capture demand in real time.
