If you’ve used the internet longer than a few minutes, you understand the power of memes.
Memes make the internet what it is.
From Michael Jordan crying:
To Willy Wonka:
Memes take different forms and can be sparked from anything.
You can define a meme as an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
The interesting part is that 60% of the 3 billion people on the internet use their accounts to share memes and other funny videos.
Going a step further, 41% of U.S. consumers want brands to participate in meme culture. You know, act like real people interacting with other real people.
The most successful brands on social media understand this on some level.

A quick meme that generated more views for them than average.
We wanted to make it possible for you to tap into the zeitgeist – the defining mood of a period of history – to elevate your brand. And do it without having to spend hours diving into 4chan subculture or obscure subreddits.
We’ve accomplished that with our new release.
Memes for you – on demand and infinite possibilities
Like everything else in QuickVid, we’ve worked hard to automate your video creation workflow and enhance it with AI.
You can choose from hundreds of popular video memes ranging from Katy Perry to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Add a pithy text caption, include a background image or video, and combine everything into a unique creation.
Of course, like with everything at QuickVid, you have deep control over customization options which include the fonts, the colors, the size of your caption text, the actual caption text, and much more.
You can also enlist the help of AI. If you’re stuck about what to write to bring your meme video together, just ask the AI assistant. You can be as detailed or as vague as you want and it’ll help you get it right.
Currently, there are a little under 200 meme videos available, and we’ll regularly add more.
If your social media calendar is looking a little dry and you don’t know what to post, log in and create a meme that’s in line with your niche and audience.
Things don’t have to always be so serious. After all, it’s social media.
Why it matters
As you can see from the stats shared at the beginning of this announcement, people live for the memes.
Do it for the Gram doesn’t even come close.
When you use memes strategically, you’re able to
- Tap into popular culture. Memes are widely accepted by a wide range of age groups and they spread fast. Once something has been dubbed a meme, you can use it indefinitely. If you’re good, you can even introduce new memes to your audience and garner even more engagement.
- Easy virality. By their nature, they don’t take themselves too seriously. That’s why it’s a meme but it captures a feeling. For example, a meme about working from home vs working from the office. A huge number of people would be able to relate.
- Attract a younger audience. While all ages can appreciate a meme, a younger audience will be more likely to share it with their social networks – especially if it’s niche-specific. For example, an inside meme that only bike lovers would understand would likely spread faster in the right circles than a general meme that anyone could understand.
Conclusion
We’ve given you the tools. Now it’s up to you to take advantage of them.
