Mission for 2026
A successful YouTube channel. Success means momentum. Momentum means a predictable publishing schedule of videos that fit our audience and brand, thousands of views per video, and a strong understanding of what works.
Video that extends the reach of the brand. We have a consistent and well-oiled system for producing video that extends the reach of PostHog products, features, and the brand.
We are a benchmark. People love what we do. They want to copy what we do. We are proud of our work. People cite our video as an example of how to do video right.
