Announcing the Second Installment of the 'Short Form Big Impact Leadership Summit 2025' by ShareChat and Moj
The Short Form Big Impact Leadership Summit 2025, held in Mumbai and Gurugram, explored strategies for building brands in a short-form world. The event, published on July 25, 2025, at 12:12 PM IST, attracted a community of over 2 million industry professionals.
The summit focused on the topic "Rewriting the Playbook: Where Culture Becomes Intelligence". The key takeaways centred around language-driven storytelling, micro-dramas, brand engagement strategies, and cultural insights marketing.
Language-driven storytelling emphasised the importance of authentic, purpose-driven storytelling that addresses real human needs with empathy and measurable impact. Amazon India’s campaign at Maha Kumbh Mela, which integrated logistical expertise to solve a tangible problem, was cited as an example of this approach.
Micro-dramas and short-form content were highlighted for their ability to capture attention quickly and convey emotionally resonant stories that align with brand purpose. This approach leverages brevity and narrative impact to engage audiences authentically in today’s fast-paced media environment.
Brand engagement strategies grounded in empathy and genuine community connection were emphasised, moving away from transactional relationships to foster trust and loyalty. Measuring the impact in tangible ways is critical to avoid purpose-driven campaigns becoming mere optics.
Cultural insights marketing involves deeply understanding community contexts and cultural nuances to create relevant and effective messaging. This strengthens brand resonance and helps brands contribute meaningfully to societal conversations.
The summit also highlighted the importance of interactive and flexible event formats to maximise engagement. This includes allowing content and conversation to flow bidirectionally between virtual and in-person participants, and fostering speaker-audience interaction via live Q&As and breakout rooms, enhancing shared learning and brand storytelling opportunities.
