Content series

What is Content series?

A content series is a set of videos linked by a consistent theme, format, or recurring subject, released over time as sequential or related episodes. Publishing content as a series gives followers a reason to return to an account and can increase overall watch time across multiple posts.

When you'd use it

1. 1When a brand has a topic broad enough to sustain multiple episodes.
2. 2When the goal is to build a returning audience that comes back for the next installment.
3. 3When a complex subject needs to be broken into digestible parts across several short videos.
4. 4When a posting schedule needs a predictable recurring format that is easy to produce consistently.
5. 5When a campaign has a defined arc that benefits from a multi-part narrative structure.

Example

A marketing agency ran a 'one-minute brand audit' series on LinkedIn and TikTok, analyzing a different brand's identity in each 60-second episode. By episode 15, each new episode averaged 40 percent more views on launch day than the first episode had, driven by followers actively looking for the next installment.

Use cases

1. 1Structuring a recurring weekly format around a consistent theme so viewers know what to expect each episode.
2. 2Breaking a multi-step process into separate short clips that build on each other across a week.
3. 3Producing a fixed number of themed videos that run across a campaign period as a connected set.
