In modern EC marketing, short videos have evolved from mere part of promotion to "creative infrastructure" that influences business growth. However, many businesses suffer from trade-off between "increase in production costs" and "maintenance of posting frequency". To ensure scalability of 100 million yen annual sales, it is urgent to eliminate person-dependent operations and build asset mass production workflow integrating AI. In this article, we explain strategic delivery methods to cover the 3 major platforms of TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts and maximize attribution.

1. Dramatic Reduction of Production Man-hours by AI Editorial Stack
Bottleneck of short video mass production always converges on "editing resources". Old methods taking several hours per video do not work to support traffic of 100 million yen annual sales scale. What should be introduced here is AI Editorial Stack.
By seamlessly linking script generation by LLM (Large Language Model), AI voice synthesis, and automatic caption generation tools, production time per video can be reduced by more than 80%. Shifting director's resources from "work" to "concept design of planning" is key to realizing compatibility of quality and quantity.
2. Platform-Native Repurposing Strategy
Limiting one produced video asset to single platform is not rational from ROI perspective. However, simple mirroring lowers user engagement. What is important is "repurposing" optimized for platform algorithms.
- TikTok: Sound First. Emphasis on song trends and surprise in the 'first second'.
- Instagram Reels: Brand Tone. Emphasis on 'useful catalog quality' to be saved.
- YouTube Shorts: Search Query. Emphasis on titles including related keywords and long-term accumulated value.
3. Data Analysis of Viewer Retention Rate: Verbalizing Winning Hooks
PDCA in mass production system should be done by withdrawal point analysis of "viewer retention rate graph", not by intuition. By matching image analysis by AI with viewing data, we identify "which moment's text" or "which cut" prevented withdrawal, and run automatic improvement cycle feeding back to next production flow.
4. Operation Simulation and Visualization of Return on Investment (ROI)
Comparative data below shows transition of production efficiency before and after introducing AI integrated workflow and accompanying monthly total reach. By increasing number of posts by 5 times, it is possible to dramatically expand acquisition volume while maintaining CPA (Cost Per Acquisition).

- A. Yes, it is possible. By combining AI tools and our framework, simple system capable of stably supplying creatives above certain level can be built regardless of editing skills.
