Short-Form Content Production: How Content Supply Helped Zendesk Grow on TikTok
Zendesk is a global leader in customer service and engagement solutions, offering software that helps businesses build meaningful relationships with their customers. Known for its intuitive, scalable platform, Zendesk empowers support teams to provide seamless communication across email, chat, voice, and social media.
Serving companies of all sizes—from startups to enterprise brands—Zendesk enables faster response times, improved customer satisfaction, and streamlined workflows. With a focus on simplicity, innovation, and customer-first experiences, Zendesk continues to be a trusted partner for organizations looking to elevate their support operations and strengthen customer loyalty.
The Challenge
Before partnering with Content Supply, Zendesk recognized the growing importance of short-form video in digital engagement—but faced challenges producing high-quality, on-brand content consistently across platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
As a global SaaS company with a strong brand identity, Zendesk needed to stay culturally relevant and top-of-mind in fast-moving digital spaces while maintaining its voice and professionalism. Internally, they lacked the dedicated creative bandwidth and production systems to produce platform-native content at scale.
Without a specialized partner, they risked missing key opportunities to connect with a younger, more social-first audience and expand their digital presence in a way that aligned with their brand standards.
The Solution
To help Zendesk stay relevant and engaging on fast-moving platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, Content Supply delivered a complete short-form content production and marketing solution—designed to meet the demands of a global brand while driving measurable engagement.
Here’s what the solution included:
1. Platform-Native Content Strategy
We developed a content strategy specifically tailored to short-form video, focusing on:
- Timely, relatable themes that aligned with Zendesk’s tone of voice
- Creative hooks and storytelling formats proven to perform on TikTok and Reels
- Content pillars that highlighted customer service insights, brand personality, and product awareness in a light, digestible format
This ensured each video was aligned with Zendesk’s goals and audience expectations.
2. Short-Form Video Production at Scale
Our creative team handled end-to-end video production, including:
- Scripting and concept development for weekly content output
- On-brand visual styling and editing using platform-specific techniques (subtitles, captions, transitions, sound trends)
- Multiple aspect ratio formatting to optimize performance across all channels
Each deliverable was ready to post and designed to stop the scroll, spark engagement, and drive traffic.
3. Brand-Aligned Creative Direction
We worked closely with Zendesk’s internal team to ensure all content reflected the company’s personality—professional, clever, and customer-focused—without feeling overly corporate. This involved:
- Adhering to brand guidelines for tone, color, and messaging
- Maintaining quality while embracing the authenticity and speed of social-first formats
- Iterating quickly based on performance data and real-time feedback
4. Ongoing Content Delivery and Optimization
To keep momentum strong and engagement high, we created a system for continuous delivery and optimization:
- Weekly video drops with fresh concepts tied to trends or campaigns
- Performance tracking and reporting for continuous improvement
- Collaborative reviews to evolve creative direction based on audience response
Through this scalable, high-impact approach, Content Supply gave Zendesk a powerful content engine—fueling their social growth and helping them show up consistently in the places where modern conversations are happening.
The Process
To support Zendesk’s short-form content goals, Content Supply implemented a streamlined, repeatable creative production process—designed for speed, scalability, and brand consistency. Our goal was to create engaging videos that matched platform trends while staying true to Zendesk’s voice and visual identity.
Here’s a breakdown of the process we used:
1. Creative Strategy & Planning
We began by aligning with Zendesk’s internal marketing team to define content goals, key messaging, and audience focus. This phase included:
- Identifying brand-aligned content pillars (education, storytelling, humor, product highlights)
- Analyzing trends across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts to find opportunities for relevance
- Developing a content calendar that balanced planned topics and reactive trends
- Outlining creative direction to ensure tone, pacing, and visuals matched Zendesk’s personality
2. Scriptwriting & Concept Development
Once strategy was in place, our team wrote concise, compelling scripts and creative briefs designed for high engagement on short-form platforms:
- Hook-first scripting to stop the scroll within 1–2 seconds
- Conversational language and platform-native tone
- Seamless product or brand mentions without sounding promotional
- Flexible formats such as skits, voiceovers, text-driven storytelling, and creator-led pieces
Each concept was crafted to be quick, relatable, and shareable.
3. Video Production & Post-Production
We managed full video creation, tailored to Zendesk’s content needs and publishing cadence:
- Directed creator talent and UGC-style shoots when needed
- Captured and edited footage in vertical 9:16 aspect ratio for mobile-first platforms
- Applied branded motion graphics, transitions, animated captions, and music
- Optimized visual clarity and audio for mobile engagement
This allowed Zendesk to maintain production quality while embracing the lo-fi, authentic feel of social-first content.
4. Multi-Platform Formatting & Delivery
Each video was formatted and packaged for multiple channels, including:
- TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn
- Multiple export formats and thumbnails
- Platform-specific metadata and hashtags
- A ready-to-publish delivery system with weekly content drops
5. Feedback, Optimization & Reporting
After publishing, we worked with Zendesk’s team to track performance and iterate:
- Reviewed engagement data to refine hooks, styles, and posting times
- Conducted monthly content reviews to double down on top-performing formats
- Continuously refreshed the content strategy based on platform shifts and campaign needs
Through this collaborative and iterative process, Content Supply helped Zendesk produce a consistent flow of high-quality short-form content—positioning the brand to lead in digital engagement and modern customer conversations.
