Year: 2026

Scrolling for hours and not realising where the time went; we’ve all done it. So how can businesses use short-form videos as an opportunity? They need to understand how they can stop the scroll.

The first half of 2026 has been one of our busiest to date, with a series of new client wins and successful campaigns that have laid strong foundations for the rest of the year.

Brands wanted to partner with celebrities and social media stars with millions of followers to put their products in front of as many people as possible. But social media has evolved and so has consumer behaviour.  

When did you last feel like a kid again? Not in a big, life-changing way. Just a small moment where something familiar stopped you in your tracks and took you straight back. Brands have spent a lot of time and money learning how to create that feeling on demand. And in 2026, they have perfected it. 

The Shooting Star team are no strangers to a challenge as they get ready for their first charity fundraising of 2026.
