Video Production Company Social Media Strategy

Video companies have a built-in advantage on social media, because every project produces footage, though the hard part is choosing the footage a buyer wants to see. LinkedIn is where owners and marketing managers look for suppliers and where a project write-up is read by the people who hire. YouTube holds the showreel and the longer case films that buyers watch before they get in touch, and Instagram shows the craft and the people behind a shoot. Business buyers want proof, so posts that show a brief, a shoot and a finished film do more than adverts for the company. Designers and agencies who see the work also remember whom to recommend. Each profile should point to one page that shows the work and makes it simple to get in touch.

Free · about a minute · with 4 weeks of posts

Northframe Films is a made-up video production company that posts rarely and wants more messages from business buyers. Its strategy picks LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube, says what to fix on each profile and sorts the posts into four content themes. Three posts a week for four weeks come with captions and hashtags, and square brackets stand in for a sector, a month or a client name to add with permission. The last parts cover a small advert budget, the hashtags and the numbers worth watching. Your own strategy for the platforms you use is ready in about a minute.

What works on social media for a video production company

  1. Write up each project as a short story

    Open with the brief, then say what was filmed and how the film was used, in a few short paragraphs. Business buyers like to see a problem, a method and a result they can picture. Post it with the client's permission and with a still or a short clip.

  2. Show how you put nervous speakers at ease

    Many buyers worry that their colleagues will freeze in front of a camera. Short behind-the-scenes clips of a relaxed interview, a coffee before filming and a quiet corner prove that you handle it well. They also show who will be in the room.

  3. Ask for permission in the agreement, not after the shoot

    A line in your terms that lets you share clips of the finished film saves awkward emails later. Check separately that people on camera and the client's logo can appear. Use [name] and [sector] in drafts until a yes is on file.

  4. Pin the post that explains how to brief you

    Visitors who like your work often do not know what to say in a first message. Pin a post that lists what to include, such as the audience, the purpose, the date and the places the film will be shown. It turns a hesitant visitor into a clear enquiry.

Northframe Films will use project write-ups, behind-the-scenes clips and showreel cuts to turn buyers who watch its work into messages asking about their own film.

More messages and enquiries · Under 100 US dollars a month

Fix these first

  1. Rewrite the headline on your personal LinkedIn profile so it says what you make and for whom, in place of a job title.

  2. Reply to every comment and message on the day it arrives, because a quick, clear answer from a production company stands out.

  3. Send every profile link to the showreel page and not the home page, so a visitor lands straight on the work.

Your platforms, in order

  1. LinkedIn 5 posts in 4 weeks · Project write-ups, Short clips, Carousels

    Project posts there are read by the managers and owners who decide what to commission.

    Fix on your profile:

    • Pin a showreel cut-down to the top of the company page, with a one-line note on who the films are for.
    • Use the logo as the company picture and a still from a recent film as the banner.
    • Write the About section in the buyer's words: films for websites, launches and events.
    • Share each company post from your personal profile too.
  2. Instagram 4 posts in 4 weeks · Reels, Carousels, Stories

    Behind-the-scenes clips show the craft and the people, and reach owners of smaller firms who scroll after work.

    Fix on your profile:

    • Match the name and picture to your LinkedIn page.
    • Write a bio that says films for businesses, with the area you cover.
    • Link to the showreel page and the enquiry form.
    • Make highlights for events, brand films and behind the scenes.
  3. YouTube 3 posts in 4 weeks · Showreel, Case films, Shorts

    Buyers watch whole showreels and case films there, and a clearly titled video can be found in search.

    Fix on your profile:

    • Name the channel after your company and add a plain line saying who you make films for.
    • Put your website and a contact address on the About page.
    • Feature the showreel at the top of the channel home page.

Questions

Social media for a video production company: questions and answers

Where should a video production company be on social media?

Pick LinkedIn for the buyers, YouTube for the showreel and longer films, and Instagram for behind-the-scenes clips. Company buyers spend their working day on the first, and many check a supplier's channel on the second before calling. Two or three used steadily work better than five used now and then.

Should I post my whole showreel on LinkedIn or only on YouTube?

Keep the full showreel on YouTube and on your website, and post short cuts from it on LinkedIn that stand alone in a few seconds. Link each cut to the full reel. This way the feed stays quick to watch while the full reel is one tap away.

How can I show client work on social media without breaching confidentiality?

Get the client's agreement before anything goes up. If they prefer to stay anonymous, describe the sector and the brief without naming the business, or share clips with the logo removed. Keep each yes on file beside the project.

How often should a small video production company post?

Two or three posts a week is a rhythm many small crews can hold, with LinkedIn getting most of them. A regular pace holds buyers' attention better than a flurry and a gap. Batch the captions and clips after each shoot, so the posts do not compete with the work.
