Short-Form vs Long-Form Social Media Content



Interested in boosting your social media performance and beating out your competitors? PRDA, Asia’s leading social media agency, is here to explore the methodology behind “short-form” and “long-form” social media content.

Typically the best way to grab a follower (or potential follower) on most social media platforms is with clear -short- written content, typically with a direct CTA, Call to Action. A CTA is a clear direction of what you want the reader to do next… view the product, read an article, and so on. In comparison, long-form content more frequently refers to what followers would read AFTER your short-form content has snagged their attention- a 500 word blog or article for example. This social media trend may be changing however, as brands look for a way to stand out from the ecommerce clutter bomboarding today’s consumers. Using long-form content could be a social marketing tactic to take advantage of, allowing you to build brand awareness, expand SEO (Search Engine Optimization) potential, as well as further your company’s social media presence.

How to Stay Fit on Holiday

Many people find it difficult to maintain their weight, much less lose weight, while on holiday. A whirlwind of new activities and indulgences make it difficult to stick to a healthy diet and exercise routine. Gaining weight on vacation does not have to be your story however! T8 Fitness, your source for Yoga, Pilates, Rehab and Fitness Products in Hong Kong and Asia, has a few helpful tips for you on how to stay fit while traveling-- perfect for the upcoming summer holidays!

Local Food
Yes, trying new foods is an important part of traveling for many, but it doesn't have to be carb-loaded meals or deep fried sweets. Instead try subbing at least some of the high calorie cuisine for local produce. Try that fruit or veggie you've never heard of or rarely see back home. Visit local markets to see what new healthy foods you can discover-- and use them for inspiration when you get home!
