Looking for better reach and engagement from your YouTube Shorts ad campaigns? Follow these rules for winning Shorts:

1. Stay on trend. By hopping on trends like #SummerLoading, you can generate excitement, raise brand awareness, and drive engagement.
2. Hire a natural. Your video should feature someone who can communicate the brand’s message in a captivating, entertaining way to enhance viewer interest.
3. Leverage animation. Use concise, simple animation to effectively illustrate key features and benefits of your product or service.
4. Be funny. Infuse the video with emotions that resonate—humor, nostalgia, surprise—to build a positive association with your brand.

When you hit the mark, the YouTube Shorts format is well suited for brand awareness campaigns. Check out DMNews for more tips.
