Introduction

5:08

This lesson defines short-form video — 10 seconds to roughly three minutes, always vertical, watched on mobile — and explains why it matters. Jodein cites key statistics: 96% of consumers prefer video over text when learning about a product, 73% prefer short-form over long-form, and five billion people are currently watching short-form content daily.

He establishes his credibility by describing how he scaled his own account to one million followers and 110 million views in three months from zero, and how Clash Creation has accumulated over 1.5 billion organic views across its managed channels — equivalent to roughly $75 million in earned media value.

The core argument is that virality is a science, not a gamble: there are literal data signals that tell you why certain videos perform better than others, and understanding how to read those signals lets you put any message in front of a large audience. The lesson closes by outlining what the course covers: theory-first, with hooks, scripting, curiosity loops, and repeatable formats.

The Lesson

Short-form video is 10-second to 3-minute vertical content.

About Clash Creation

Clash Creation is a media management company and talent representation group based in Bermondsey, London – founded by Joden Newman, who built 2M followers and 160M+ views from 60 short-form videos. We represent founders and executives commercially – managing their media presence, speaking careers, and brand partnerships.

These free courses are the playbook behind 1.5B+ organic views managed for clients. Our management programmes – The Green Room, The Stage, and The Red Carpet – are 9-month authority building engagements where we build and run the full engine: strategy, production, distribution, and commercial representation.

After this module you will understand what short-form video is, why the data makes it the highest-ROI medium available, and what the course will teach you — from hooking viewers and scripting for curiosity to engineering specific engagement metrics.

Short-form video is 10-second to 3-minute vertical content. 5 billion daily viewers, 96% prefer video over text. This intro covers who Joden is and the core argument: virality is a measurable science, not a gamble.
