â How to use corporate video to grow your business
1ď¸âŁ Why Corporate Video Is a Game-Changer
Letâs be blunt: Nobody reads 10 paragraphs of your âAbout Usâ page anymore. But give them a 90-second video, and now youâve got their attentionâand maybe even their business.
đ The Real Benefits of Corporate Video:
âď¸ Boosts brand awareness â Get recognised and remembered.
âď¸ Builds trust instantly â High-quality visuals = professional, credible business.
âď¸ Increases engagement â People retain 95% of a message in video (and 10% in text... oof).
âď¸ Improves SEO â Google loves video. Your site is 53x more likely to rank with it.
âď¸ Drives sales â Videos increase purchase intent by up to 97%.
âď¸ Strengthens internal comms â Great for culture, onboarding, and training.
đĄ Example: A consulting firm added a sleek brand video to their homepage and saw a 35% spike in conversions. Thatâs not luckâitâs video working its magic.
2ď¸âŁ What Kind of Corporate Video Should You Make?
Not every business needs the same kind of video. Some need a showstopper brand film. Others just need a crystal-clear explainer. Good newsâwe do both.
đĽ Video Types & How They Help:
Type of Video | Best For | Why It Works |
Brand Story | Website, social, presentations | Establishes your mission, values & vibe |
Product/Service Explainer | Landing pages, demos, social ads | Makes the complex simple & sells without pressure |
Testimonials/Case Studies | Sales, social proof, tenders | Builds instant trust using real success stories |
Company Culture | Recruitment, LinkedIn, onboarding | Attracts talent who align with your culture |
Training/Onboarding | Internal teams, HR, franchises | Saves time, improves consistency & clarity |
Event & Conference Recaps | PR, social, future event promos | Showcases industry leadership & keeps people hyped |
đĄ Example: A software company dropped a 90-second explainer on their homepageâand doubled their product demo sign-ups. Yeah. That.
3ď¸âŁ What Makes a Corporate Video Actually Good?
Itâs not about just filming something. Itâs about telling your story with purpose, style, and a bit of polish.
đŻ Must-Haves for High-Quality Video:
âď¸ A clear message â Know what youâre saying and who youâre saying it to.
âď¸ Cinematic visuals â Sharp, well-composed shots that donât scream âDIY.â
âď¸ Great audio â Crisp sound. No echoes. No excuses.
âď¸ Strong storytelling â People connect with people, not bullet points.
âď¸ Professional editing â Smooth transitions, great pacing, on-brand graphics.
âď¸ Multi-platform formatting â Vertical for Insta, widescreen for YouTube, snappy for TikTok. Weâve got you.
đĄ Example: A B2B firm used drone shots, voiceover, and a killer soundtrack in their brand film. It not only looked premiumâit felt premium.
4ď¸âŁ How to Use Your Corporate Video (Hint: Not Just on Your Homepage)
Once youâve got your video, donât just stick it on your website and call it a day. Use it everywhere.Good video content should work hard for youâon repeat.
đ Where to Use Your Video:
đĽď¸ Homepage & landing pages â Boost time on site & conversions
đ˛ Social media â Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTokâyou name it
âď¸ Email marketing â Add a video and watch those click rates rise
đź Sales decks & pitches â Replace walls of text with powerful visuals
đ§âđŤ Internal comms â Training, updates, and team culture, all in one place
