Content is front and centre
CAUTION It’s easy to keep scrolling past the mundane. You need to stop fingers in their tracks. Fit in, not every feed is the same. Different fingers want different things.

Feeds are hungry for the
right content, with the right context

Context and tips to enhance
feeds and make happier fingers

Twitter images... A recent introduction
on the platform, inline images. Both the website and app now display an image in feed. It’s not the standard square format like in other feeds, but a landscape image. If your image is larger than the preview, you click to view the image. Make your tweet and message stand out, take away the click and work to 1023 x 535 to create a beautiful feed.

Instagram video... If you’re shooting
the video in the app, pick the most appealing still frame which will make users stop scrolling and wait for the video to load. Use the Instagram video feature to tease content outside of the app, a 15 second snippet with endframe, clear call to action and URL in the description. Be aware of sound, even a beautiful video with harsh sharpe sounds will be cut short when your mobile starts screaming.

Vine... You’ve got to be
good to stand out on there, it’s easy to get it wrong. The stop motion bar has been set high but it’s a trusted and fun method. Perfect loops are always appreciated Comedic cuts do well, and the comedy channel is a goodplace to get some inspiration. Add your Vines to a relevant channel to get in those new feeds Check out: Argos_Online, Brandon Calvillo, Ian Padgham for some inspiration. Brands On Vine also feature the best in branded content.

Facebook page post links... There
are 33 million monthly active users in the UK and 26 million of those are accessing via the mobile feed*. It’s a mixed feed of friends and pages. A feed not based on the time content is posted but an algorythm of popularity. Good content is rewarded with more exposure, so make your content as appealing and attractive as possible. Calls to action, clarity, short sharp messages and clear imagery. Use page post links with images increase click through *http://techcrunch.com/2013/08/13/facebook-mobile-user-count/
