Design tips that actually move the needle
- 01Assume sound-on and full attention — you have a captive audience for 3s.
- 02Big brand moment in first 3s (logo, hook, or headline reveal).
- 03Same safe zones as In-Feed — don't put product on the right rail.
- 04Design for one message, not a menu of offers.
