A study by marketing expert Caroline Giegerich found that LinkedIn video posts generate three times more reach than text content.
Videos under 5 minutes, especially those posted between 9-11 AM EST, performed best, with the most successful video reaching 774,000 impressions.
Giegerich’s 90-day analysis highlighted that video posts excel at driving awareness, reaching audiences outside of a user’s network. In contrast, text posts engaged more with existing connections, making them more effective in nurturing relationships.
While LinkedIn’s push into video is effective for broader exposure, the platform still lags behind TikTok and Instagram in terms of monetisation opportunities for creators.
John’s take: Marketing is all about testing what works for you. I distribute my video shorts to LinkedIn via Content 360, and have never gained much momentum on the platform. That doesn’t mean LinkedIn doesn’t work; I just haven’t tested it consistently enough with a range of different content.
