How to Leverage Video Content for Persona Engagement
Plan, produce, and orchestrate persona-specific videos that move buyers through The Loop™—from first spark to validated decision—while keeping message, format, and CTA aligned to each role’s job-to-be-done.
Persona-led video means matching format (explainers, walkthroughs, proofs), length, and next step to intent and role. Executives want outcomes in under 90 seconds with an assessment CTA; champions want 3–7 minute use-case demos with calculators; practitioners need step-by-step tutorials; IT requires security/integration briefings. Each video carries the right CTA for that persona and stage.

The Persona–Video Engagement Playbook
Use this sequence to consistently produce videos that convert—then orchestrate them across channels with consistent CTAs.
Define → Script → Produce → Personalize → Distribute → Analyze → Govern
- Define the intent: Map persona pains to Loop stages; select the offer and CTA the video will drive.
- Script & storyboard: Hook in 5–8s; state value; show proof; close with the stage-matched CTA.
- Produce variants: 16:9 master plus 1:1 and 9:16 cuts; B-roll and overlays for clarity.
- Personalize: Swap intros, logos, or examples for target segments and ABM accounts.
- Distribute: Embed on key pages, snippet for email, short for social/ads, and add to SDR sequences.
- Analyze: Watch-time by persona, drop-off points, and CTA conversion; iterate the first 10 seconds first.
- Govern: Version control, brand checks, captions, and archive dates; recycle top performers quarterly.
