"Ads, ads everywhere, but not a single one I care to click!"
We live in a world where every swipe, tap, and scroll competes for attention. It’s not just about using flashy formats—it’s about weaving creativity and authenticity into every piece of content you put out. That’s what innovative content formats do—they stop the scroll.
But wait.. There is more to this: without creativity, even the fanciest formats will flop. The secret lies in blending your brand story so seamlessly into these formats that your audience doesn’t just scroll past—they stay, connect, and act.
And if you’ve ever wondered why creators like Dharna Durga, Priyanka Dave Shrimali (Udanpari Jiji), and Apka Jags get so much engagement, it’s because they’ve mastered the art of making ads not feel like ads. They don’t shout, “Look at this product!” Instead, they show you a story you’ll love by integrating the product.
Know in this blog, how you can channel that magic into your own content.

1. Interactive Content Makes Engagement Memorable
You might have come across those “Which Harry Potter character are you?” “Which character are you from princess charm school” quizzes? They’re not just for fun—they’re marketing gold. Why? Because people love doing things more than watching things.
Interactive content—think polls, quizzes, and calculators—gets your audience involved. Take a budgeting app, for example. Instead of a dull post about saving money, they create a “How Much Will You Save by Giving Up Lattes?” calculator. And suddenly its engaging, relatable, and useful.
Want to see results? Try making your social media content interactive:
- Create a quiz like, “What’s Your Brand Voice?”
- Host a poll: “Would you rather watch a tutorial or read a guide?”
- Use sliders or reaction stickers on Instagram Stories.
These formats aren’t just fun—they build a connection. And isn’t that the whole point of content marketing?
2. Video Content
If content types had a popularity contest, video content would always win. And it’s no surprise—videos are versatile, emotional, and downright addictive.
But don’t just post any random clip and call it a day. The magic lies in how you use video to tell your story. Show behind-the-scenes snippets of your creative process, share quick tips, or host live Q&A sessions. Remember, people want to see you—your quirks, your personality, your expertise.
Short-form videos, like Instagram Reels and TikToks, are crushing it right now. Keep them snappy, valuable, and entertaining. If your video can make someone laugh and learn, you’ve just nailed engaging content.
3. Podcasting
Do we really need another podcast?” Absolutely—if it’s yours. Podcasts are intimate, conversational, and perfect for building long-term trust with your audience. They’re like having coffee with a friend who also happens to know a lot about something you care about.
For businesses, podcasts are a great way to highlight expertise without sounding like you’re trying too hard. Share industry insights, host interviews with interesting guests, or talk about common problems your clients face.
Example? If you’re in content marketing, launch a podcast called “Stories That Stick” and share tips about content strategy, storytelling, and case studies. Bonus points if you tie in trends or listener questions!
4. Infographics: Smart, Visual, and Shareable
Who says facts and stats have to be boring? Infographics simplify complex information into bite-sized visuals that are easy to digest and hard to ignore. They’re especially effective for platforms like Pinterest or LinkedIn, where educational content thrives.
Imagine explaining the benefits of content personalisation in plain text versus an infographic. The latter is quicker, cleaner, and way more shareable. Even dry topics like SEO trends can become engaging when presented visually.
If you want your infographics to stand out, focus on:
- Clean, professional design. (Not a design pro? Leave it to us at Jazzbaat Global Creative House.)
- A clear, compelling headline.
- Actionable takeaways.
5. User-Generated Content (UGC): Let Them Do the Talking
Why do all the work when your audience can help you out? UGC—whether it’s a review, a photo of someone using your product, or a shoutout from a satisfied client—builds trust like nothing else.
Think about it: A potential customer is way more likely to trust another customer than an ad. That’s the power of UGC.
Encourage your audience to share their experiences with you. Offer incentives, run a contest, or simply repost their content (with credit, of course). Not only does this give you authentic content, but it also shows that you listen to and value your audience.
