"BAM's Latest Buzz"

July Insights

Sneaky setups, smart strategy, and one very bold bidet.

It's time for your pulse check on the sharpest content trends, effective channel strategies, and memorable campaigns we can’t stop talking about.

This month's roundup is proof that how you frame a message is as powerful as its contents. Clever setups reinforce the core point, while narrative styles and POVs engage us. It’s about aligning craft with intent and making every moment count. This month, we spotlight how smart storytelling drives strategy, plus a case study proving that even bidets can go viral (hi, Bidetlity 💋).

The Trends Are In

✨ “I Almost Forgot This Was The Whole Point.”           
A soft, sentimental overlay paired with joyful, everyday clips—a special time with your partner, a baby's giggle, the perfect bite of food—it’s versatile, emotional, and deeply human, reminding us what truly matters.

Why it works:       
💡 Totally adaptable for any brand         
💖 Emotion first, promo second   
It’s a gentle nudge to reconnect with your “why.” No hard sell needed—just a moment that sticks.

Narration-Style Short Films           
Cinematic clips + funny, personal voiceovers = scroll-stopping mini-movies. Think diary entry meets documentary.

Why it works:       
🎯 Eye-catching and intentional       
🗣️ Authentic and relatable vibes that make brands feel human           
A perfect way for brands to show off their “why” with heart and humour.

👀 Creative POVs           
This trend reimagines everyday moments through unexpected, often whimsical points of view—whether it’s the POV of an object, a pet, or a person in a surprising scenario. The result? Videos that feel personal, immersive, and visually fresh.

Why it works:      
💡 Scroll-stopping creativity – Unique angles instantly grab attention in a sea of sameness           
📱 Low-lift, high-reward – Simple setups, big storytelling payoff           
🎭 Emotion + play – Adds a layer of magic or humour to the mundane

Channel Strategies That Work (And Why)

A strong content strategy isn't just about consistency—it's about intention. When brainstorming content ideas, it's important to include a balanced mix of the four "sandwich layers" (Reels, Carousels, Stills, Stories), as each one plays a unique role in a well-rounded strategy. From reaching new audiences and educating to reinforcing brand identity and staying top of mind, this "content sandwich" approach keeps your feed fresh.         

Meanwhile, Instagram's new Blend feature—a shared Reels feed between friends—signals a shift toward private sharing, as direct messages (DMs) become the platform's top use case. For brands, this means creating highly shareable, DM-worthy content that feels personal, relatable, and niche enough to spark conversation beyond their current audience.

A Case Study That Inspires Us 

💋 Bidetlity – “So Clean You Can Kiss It”           
Bidetlity’s bold German campaign leaned into cheeky, body-positive humour to challenge hygiene taboos—think kiss-close visuals placed near Berlin’s kink clubs. We've been loving Billie's unapologetic style, and Bidetlity's ad hits the same bold, self-confident note. It stirred up buzz across Instagram and TikTok, driving a 15% traffic spike and firmly positioning itself as a playful, eco-conscious disruptor with something to say—and the confidence to say it.

BAM POV: It’s brave, boundary-pushing, and owns its brand personality. Whether people loved it or side-eyed it, they noticed—and that’s the win.

BAM’s Last Word 

This month’s trends and strategies all point to one thing: intentional content that connects. Whether it’s a clever POV, a heartfelt voiceover, or a bold campaign like Bidetlity’s, the message is clear—how you frame your story matters as much as the story itself.

how you frame a message is as powerful as its contents.
