Description

What if everything you've been told about the "right" ad length is wrong?

In this episode of Brain Driven Brands, Sarah and Nate dive into a surprising new study showing that one oddly specific video length outperformed the standard 15–30 second format — driving 40% more traffic and 3X engagement.

They break down:

  • Why shorter ads spark curiosity (and clicks) while longer ones stall

  • The real "job" of an ad vs. your landing page

  • Why benefit-first storytelling beats pain-point rambling

  • Live ad-read experiments (yes, in under 10 seconds)
