LinkedIn Video Strategy
A LinkedIn video strategy is a systematic approach to using native video posts for brand-building and lead generation - defining format, frequency, topic cadence, and repurposing plan.
LinkedIn native video (recorded, not live) occupies a specific role in a content strategy: it's the highest-trust format because it shows the person behind the brand in a way text cannot. The algorithm doesn't particularly reward video over text in terms of raw reach, but the audience behavior is different - viewers who watch 60%+ of a video are more likely to DM, follow up, or convert than those who read a text post.
A practical LinkedIn video strategy for B2B founders: 1–2 videos per week, 60–90 seconds each (optimal length for completion rate), face-to-camera format rather than screen share, addressing one specific question or topic per video, with captions (85%+ of LinkedIn video is watched on mobile without sound). Batch-record 4–6 videos in a single session to reduce friction.
The repurposing layer: each video post can be clipped into Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts, transcribed into a text post, and the audio extracted as a podcast excerpt. This makes the production-to-distribution ratio significantly more favorable than creating each format from scratch.
