The Problem

Does this sound familiar?

Short-form video has become the dominant top-of-funnel acquisition channel for audiences under 45. TikTok has 1B+ users. YouTube Shorts hits 70B daily views. LinkedIn video engagement is up 5x year-over-year. And your B2B buyers — the VPs, directors, founders making purchase decisions — are scrolling on all of them. Yet most B2B brands post polished case-study videos on LinkedIn quarterly and wonder why nothing happens. The format doesn't fit the platform. The cadence doesn't match the algorithm. The content doesn't reflect how your audience actually consumes information anymore. You know you need to be on short-form. You don't have a content strategy, a scripting system, or a production workflow. And freelance video editors cost $500-$2,000 per video — math that collapses when you need 3-5 videos per week to actually compound.

B2B buyers research in short-form before they Google

VPs and directors watch TikToks about their category between meetings, catch LinkedIn videos on commute, watch YouTube Shorts in the evening. Your SEO page ranks matter less every quarter as video discovery eats attention. If you're not in the feed, you're not in consideration.

One-off videos don't compound

Posting one polished 2-minute video per month produces zero results. The algorithm rewards cadence: 3-5 videos per week minimum to trigger distribution. Most B2B brands can't sustain that without a production system — so they post sporadically, get no traction, and conclude 'video doesn't work for B2B.'

Freelance video costs kill testing velocity

Freelance editors charge $500-$2,000 per video. At 15 videos/month (minimum viable cadence), that's $7,500-$30,000/month — before scripting, strategy, or distribution. The economics only work with a systematized production model, not per-video freelance.

Short-form video — YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels — has become the dominant top-of-funnel acquisition channel for direct-response offers targeting audiences under 45.

The Solution

Short-Form Video Strategy Service for B2B

A 30-day short-form video strategy sprint that maps your ICP's content consumption patterns, builds your platform-specific content calendar, writes 60 script templates (enough for 3 months at minimum viable cadence), documents your production workflow, and hands off a playbook your internal team or production partner can execute. Not ongoing content production — the strategy + system that makes in-house or contracted production work.

Get Started
  • Platform-specific content strategy

    TikTok and YouTube Shorts need different hooks than LinkedIn video. We don't cross-post the same content everywhere — we build platform-native strategies. Your ICP might be TikTok-heavy (consumer brands), LinkedIn-heavy (enterprise B2B), or split (mid-market). We identify the right mix.

  • 60 script templates (3 months of content)

    Written scripts using proven short-form structures: hook (5s), payoff promise (5s), value delivery (30-45s), CTA (5s). Organized into pillars: educational, behind-the-scenes, founder POV, customer story, industry take. You or your team shoot against templates instead of ideating from scratch.

  • Founder-POV vs Brand-voice framework

    B2B short-form breaks into two modes: founder-led (founder on camera, higher trust, higher engagement) or brand-led (professionally produced, lower engagement, broader safety). We recommend which mode fits your business and build the framework accordingly.

  • Production workflow documentation

    Exact shoot setup (lighting, mic, camera, location), batching strategy (shoot 20 videos in one 4-hour session), editing workflow (templates in CapCut/Premiere), posting cadence. Production cost drops from $500-$2K per video to $50-$200 once the workflow runs.

  • 30/60/90-day performance targets

    Realistic KPIs for each platform: impression benchmarks, engagement rate targets, follower growth expectations. Not 'go viral' — measurable compounding. Your team knows when the strategy is working vs needs adjustment.

Our Process

How it works

1

Free Video Strategy Audit

We review your current video presence (if any), ICP, competitive set, and internal capabilities. Within 5 business days you get a written audit: which platforms fit your audience, realistic content cadence, founder-POV vs brand-voice recommendation, and honest assessment of whether you should be in short-form at all yet.

2

ICP + Platform Research (Week 1)

We study your target ICP's content consumption: which platforms they actually use, which accounts they follow, which formats they engage with. Competitive analysis of 5-10 companies winning at short-form in your space.

3

Content Strategy + Pillar Definition (Week 2)

We define 5-8 content pillars for your brand: topics your audience cares about, angles only you can take, formats that fit platform conventions. This is the strategic foundation — everything downstream builds on it.

4

60 Script Templates (Weeks 3-4)

Writing 60 script templates across your pillars. Each template specifies hook, payoff, value delivery, CTA. Your team (or production partner) can shoot 3 months of content without starting from blank page.

5

Production Workflow + Handoff

Documented shoot process, editing workflow, posting cadence. Training session with your team (or production partner). 30-day post-handoff support for calibration. Your team owns ongoing production.

Frequently asked questions

Is short-form actually viable for B2B?
Yes, but the math is platform-specific. LinkedIn video is the strongest B2B fit — engagement is up 5x year-over-year and VPs/directors are already watching. TikTok works for companies whose ICP skews under 45 (consumer brands, SMB-focused B2B, developer tools). YouTube Shorts is growing but still catches-up. Enterprise B2B with Fortune 500 ICPs? LinkedIn is the answer; others are optional.
How much content do we need to post?
Minimum viable cadence to trigger algorithmic distribution: 3 videos per week per platform. For compounding growth: 5 videos per week. One video per month produces nothing regardless of quality. If you can't sustain 3/week, you're better off not starting than starting and stopping.
Should our founder be on camera?
Depends. Founder-POV content outperforms brand-voice by 3-5x in engagement in B2B (per Sprout Social 2026 data). If your founder is comfortable on camera and has domain expertise, founder-POV is the higher-leverage mode. If not, brand-voice with professional talent works at higher production cost. The strategy audit gives you a specific recommendation.
What if we don't have a content team?
Strategy + Production Partner Intro tier includes warm intros to vetted production partners. Most of our clients engage a partner after our sprint: $3K-$8K/month for 15-30 videos/month, using our templates and workflow. Cheaper and faster than building in-house production until you're doing 30+ videos/month.
How does this relate to your VSL Production service?
Different purpose. VSL = long-form (5-20 min) sales video for conversion. Short-form = 15-90 second attention content for top-of-funnel awareness. Many clients need both: short-form drives awareness and traffic; VSL converts traffic into customers. We can scope a combined engagement if that fits your funnel.
What about AI-generated video?
AI video tools (Runway, HeyGen, Synthesia) work for certain use cases (product demos, explainer animations, multilingual scaling). They DON'T work well for founder-POV or brand-voice content that needs to feel human. Our strategies assume real human shooting; we note where AI video fits and where it doesn't.
What are realistic results in 90 days?
With 3-5 videos/week cadence and proper strategy: 2-5x follower growth on primary platform, 5-15% engagement rate on pillar content, measurable pipeline attribution (10-25% of warm inbound) by day 90. Not 'one viral video' — compounding distribution. We set explicit 30/60/90 targets during the sprint.
