Increase your potential earnings with VERTICAL video templates
Vertical videos are trending.
According to the MOVR Mobile Overview Report for 2017 (July-September), less than 30% of mobile consumers are willing to change the angle of their screen, preferring to keep it to the vertical or portrait orientation.
With mobile viewing on the rise, advertisers are encouraged to spend more on mobile advertising. The Interactive Advertising Bureau reported that more than half of the digital ad revenue last year came from mobile ads.
“Advertising works most effectively when it is in line with what people are trying to do.” – Mark Zuckerberg
Recognizing this, social media giants such as Facebook, Instagram, and even YouTube are embracing the vertical video format to reach out to mobile consumers.
Instagram Stories, launched only a year ago, has reached 300 million daily active users this November. Facebook is actively pushing Instagram Stories Ads to be the next big ad platform, launching it as the first type of ad space in the vertical format that allows for full-screen 9:16 visuals on the platform.
ROI agency Zenith predicts that online video advertising will be, by next year, mobile first. This translates to a major market for templates suitable for mobile advertising, particularly in the vertical video format.
