The Potential of Video Content in 2024
Video content is quickly taking over social media and has become a primary marketing source for many brands. The use of this content form allows for a more personal approach and helps users get to know the brand on a deeper level. Although video content became increasingly popular on TikTok, other social media platforms quickly followed suit and now have separate locations where users can access short-form videos. Now that most social media platforms have space for short-form vertical videos, marketers can place their video content onto each platform for maximum reach. As 2024 continues, we expect video content to be the center of most brands’ social media strategy.
NewGen Marketing is closely monitoring the rise of TikToks and Reels and exploring the ways medical professionals can utilize this content form to increase engagement and reach. Our team is constantly exploring new and innovative ways to make social media more intentional and optimize it for engagement amongst social media users.

Creating Engaging and Informative Video Content for Medical Brands
Creating interesting content for healthcare brands may seem like a challenge, but you just have to look at it through a different lens. Separate what you know about video content and understand that medical-related content needs a new approach. Ideally, medical video content should be an even blend of informative and engaging. Patients should walk away from the video feeling more informed, but they should also be interested enough to watch the entire video. To do this properly, video content should be relatively fast-paced, feature an individual, and should tell a story in a digestible manner.
Optimizing Content for TikTok and Instagram Reels
Finding success on TikTok and Instagram Reels can be a challenge, but once you determine a routine, it is actually quite manageable. Users on TikTok and Instagram like to connect with the creators and have a visual understanding of them. For this reason, we advise that brands find a “brand representative” to be featured throughout their video content. Additionally, you will want to establish an approach, whether it is comedic, following trends, or pulling on heartstrings. Sticking to a singular approach can help you find followers who enjoy your content and will continue following as you post more.
