Captioning & Text:

  • All videos captioned with brand-consistent font

  • Content repurposing workflow to adapt master content for each platform

  • Resource-light content types (UGC reshares, quick tips) scheduled during busy periods
  • Monthly outsourcing budget for 1-2 premium pieces with higher production value

Pro tips

Social Media Video Content Strategy
  • Create a content matrix that maps specific video formats to different stages of your customer journey to ensure you’re not only creating engaging content but also moving viewers toward conversion.
  • Develop “content multipliers” by planning how each video shoot can generate multiple pieces of content through different cuts, angles, and platform optimizations.
  • Consider a “minimum viable production” approach for regular content with periodic higher-production pieces to maintain consistency while creating standout moments.
  • Build a bank of platform-specific video templates that your team can easily customize with new information to maintain visual consistency while streamlining production.
