LinkedIn video marketing is key for professionals. Consultants, lawyers, accountants, listen up: video builds your authority. But let’s face it, nobody has time for a weekly podcast grind. Good news? You don’t need to. You can shine on LinkedIn without becoming a content-making machine.
Why LinkedIn Video Matters for Consultants, Lawyers & Accountants – 2025 Snapshot
LinkedIn isn’t just another social network- it’s the definitive professional marketplace in Australia. As of mid-2025, LinkedIn boasts over 15 million Australian members, capturing around 90% of the country’s working-age professionals. Even more impressively, LinkedIn’s Australian ad audience now exceeds 17 million users, reflecting a massive 13% year-on-year increase.
What’s driving this growth? The rapid rise of professional video content. Australian executives and decision-makers have increasingly turned to video, with professional uploads jumping 44% year-on-year. Short-form video, specifically, has become especially valuable, consistently achieving around 200% higher completion rates compared to longer formats.
Here’s why short-form LinkedIn videos are the ideal proof points for professional services buyers:
- Human-First Trust
A recent 2025 Brightcove/Ascend2 study found 95% of B2B buyers view video as critical in decision-making, significantly outperforming white papers, webinars, or slide decks. When prospects see you confidently addressing their pain points directly, it humanises your expertise, building immediate trust. Authenticity is everything 2025. - Decision-Maker Density
Four out of five LinkedIn users directly influence business spending, and nearly half hold senior-level titles. Short, targeted clips put your insights directly in front of the people who can sign off on engagements, giving you a substantial competitive advantage. - Algorithmic Lift
LinkedIn’s 2025 benchmarks indicate that videos shorter than 30 seconds regularly achieve completion rates double those of longer videos. Short-form clips not only receive higher organic engagement but also deliver significantly lower costs-per-view in paid campaigns.
Bottom line: With Australia’s LinkedIn audience rapidly expanding-and professional video uploads surging-short, authoritative video content is now the fastest and most effective way for consultants, lawyers, and accountants to establish credibility and visibility in 2025.
Common Roadblocks to Consistent LinkedIn Video
Despite knowing its importance, professionals often hit familiar hurdles:
- Time & Equipment: Few professionals have spare hours or studio setups ready.
- On-camera Confidence: Not everyone feels comfortable or authentic on video.
- Editing Bottlenecks: Post-production is tedious, technical, and often outsourced.
- Topic Fatigue: Struggling with consistent fresh ideas for content.
These challenges don’t mean video is off the table- they simply indicate the need for a more innovative, streamlined approach.
The 5-Step Authority Framework
Here’s a practical framework we’ve refined to help you consistently produce high-impact LinkedIn video content without the grind of weekly recording sessions.
1 – Pinpoint a Single Pain-Point Topic
Focus on specific questions your audience frequently asks during consultations or meetings. Dive into forums, industry articles, or notes from past client interactions. Remember, clarity beats complexity every time.
2 – Hook in 3 Seconds
Your audience has short attention spans, especially when scrolling LinkedIn. Start your video with a compelling question, statistic, or surprising statement:
- “Did you know 80% of business partnerships fail because…?”
- “Most businesses overlook this simple tax deduction…”
3 – Deliver the Micro-Insight (Under 25 Seconds)
Teach something valuable and actionable. Use active, confident language. Speak naturally and avoid jargon. Don’t forget subtitles- about 85% of LinkedIn videos are watched silently.
4 – Add Credibility Signals
Enhance your authority with subtle credibility cues such as client success examples, credentials, or your company’s logo discreetly appearing on-screen.
5 – End with a Soft Call-Out
Encourage engagement. Gently prompt viewers to comment, message you directly, or visit a useful resource. Keep it simple and conversational- no hard selling.
Optimising LinkedIn Video Ads vs Organic Posts
LinkedIn video ads share best practices with organic posts but require additional consideration:
| Organic Posts | LinkedIn Ads |
| Short-form videos <60 seconds | Aim for <30 seconds |
| Primarily organic reach | Precise targeting by job role, seniority |
| Informal and conversational tone | Clear, concise messaging for rapid understanding |

FAQs About LinkedIn Video for Professional Services
Should videos be vertical or horizontal?
LinkedIn supports both, but horizontal videos often present better in professional desktop feeds. We recommend discussing your target devices and audience in advance.
How can we ensure compliance and legal sign-off?
We provide final clips quickly, allowing your compliance or legal team ample time to review before publication.
Is it better to feature partners or junior team members on camera?
Both can work. Partners bring credibility, while junior team members can demonstrate company culture and depth of expertise.
