This summer, social media isn’t just for sharing content, it’s all about creative storytelling with you as the main character. From cinematic editing to the viral narrator trend, creators are fully embracing their main character energy, turning everyday moments into scenes that feel like they come straight out of a movie.
As audiences crave more authenticity, these new content styles are proving that high-impact storytelling is the way to go. Whether you’re documenting your travels in POVs, a narrated morning routine, or a vintage brand ad, there are so many ways to creatively elevate your content into these main character moments with apps like CapCut, Canva, Edits, and more right on your phone.
This trend isn’t limited to organic content. Brands can have main character energy, too! Rather than only showing a product or campaign, create a feeling or a memory that audiences can relate to. People don’t want to just watch content, they want to connect with it. Leaning more into creatively engaging content is key.
