A short-form video agency for causes
Erfan Media is a short-form video agency for pro-democracy causes, campaigns and creators. We make vertical videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels and YouTube Shorts, with a hook in the first second and captions for sound-off viewing, and we can distribute them across our 60+ account network.
Why short-form video
Most people now meet political news in a vertical feed. Short video is where an issue gets explained in 30 seconds, where a debate moment travels, and where people who don't follow politics still see it.
What we make
- Clips: the strongest moments from speeches, debates, hearings and events.
- Explainers: one issue, one minute, with captions and sources on screen. See voter education content.
- Reaction and commentary cuts from creators and spokespeople.
- Animated shorts: through our Cartoon Politics brand.
- Creator collaborations: shorts made with and by pro-democracy creators. See influencer campaign management.
How we make shorts that travel
- Hook first: the most surprising true thing in the first second.
- Captions: readable on a phone with the sound off.
- Tight: cut the setup, keep the exchange.
- Platform-native: the right safe zones and lengths for each app.
- Distributed: shared across several accounts in the first hour for early momentum.
Proof
- A short we made for Isaiah Martin reached 8.5M views in under 3 weeks.
- DemClips, our clips brand, earned 2.79M views and 5.4K followers in its first two weeks. Case study
What to send us
Raw footage from events, speeches, panels and interviews; links to news moments you want covered; your logo and colors; and the message you want people to remember. We'll turn it into a batch of shorts and a plan for where each one runs.
A note on TikTok
TikTok doesn't allow paid political content. We make organic TikToks and keep paid campaign work on platforms that allow it. See political TikTok agency.
