3. Just think…
• What’s the purpose of your videos?
• Who will be watching your videos and where will
they do this?
• What are the key messages you want to
communicate?
• How will the videos play into your wider business
objectives?
• What do you plan to measure to monitor their
success?

Audience Are

Knowing what your audience likes will help you decide on
your videos’ content, but knowing where they hang out
digitally will ensure you’re actually reaching them.

which social channels are most popular in bringing traffic
to your site.

Plan Content Around Your
Stills Shoot (…and vice versa)
It’s important not to view your assets in isolation.
Often you can create multiple assets, combining stills and video, all from

Plan For
Economies Of Scale
Look at the demands for video across your
business, rather than just the needs of one
department.
Sharing content evenly throughout the year will get
you a good spread of engagement, but shooting it
all in one hit will ensure you get a cheaper cost
per video through economies of scale.
After all, no one likes to find out they’ve paid 3
times for 3 videos of a mince pie!

experiencing drop-off at a certain point?

desired effect?
• Posting at a different time or day to attract
your audience at a time that works for them?
