A financial services company is running an awareness campaign on Pinterest. It has two types of video assets, short-form videos of 6-10 seconds and long-form videos of 30+ seconds. The client wants to prioritize Video Completion Rates (VCRs).Which of the following should the media planner recommend?

For an awareness campaign prioritizing Video Completion Rates (VCRs), short-form videos (6-10 seconds) are the most effective. Viewers are significantly more likely to watch a shorter video to its completion, directly boosting VCRs. While long-form videos can offer detailed storytelling, they often have lower completion rates because viewers may drop off before the end. Shifting to static images would eliminate VCRs entirely, as they are not video assets. Relying solely on the platform algorithm for long-form videos to find highly engaged viewers is not a guaranteed strategy for maximizing VCRs, as viewer attention spans are generally shorter.
