Hi, I'm wondering how to tell engaging stories on small screens like phones and tablets. Since attention spans are shorter and screens are smaller, what techniques or formats work best? Any tips for those trying to create compelling content for mobile users?

Storytelling on small screens is definitely a unique challenge. You need to be concise and visually appealing, as mobile users have shorter attention spans. Using bright and clear visuals combined with simple and clear text works wonders. Interactive elements such as swipe or tap can engage viewers more deeply. In addition, stories that are suitable for vertical formats and quick consumption are key. I recently read an interesting article that covers this topic very well: https://www.greatandhra.com/articles/news/touch-screen-storytelling-small-screens-big-stories-144877.
