Planning a corporate video? Before you embark on getting one made, take some time to consider the following key points.
If you run or represent a business in this digital age, you should know that corporate videos have become indispensable tools for brands to elevate their online presence and engage audiences effectively. As a leading video production company, we understand the importance of creating content that not only resonates but also delivers tangible results.
Over the years, we have made hundreds of corporate videos for various departments and different sectors. Here are our 12 crucial factors that ensure the effectiveness and success of a corporate video:
1. Define Your Video’s Purpose and Goals
Begin your corporate video journey by clearly outlining its purpose and goals. Do you want to showcase a new product, convey a powerful brand message, or enhance brand identity? A well-defined objective is the cornerstone of a successful video campaign.
2. Know Your Target Audience
Understanding your target audience is paramount. Tailor the content, tone, and style of your video to resonate with the specific demographics you aim to reach. This ensures that your message speaks directly to those who matter most.
3. Craft a Concise and Compelling Message
Develop a compelling and concise message that encapsulates what the video will communicate. The corporate video should answer why your audience should engage with your content. It should emphasize your unique value proposition.
4. Budget and Resources Allocation
Establish a realistic budget and allocate resources based on your production needs. If the corporate video demands interviews of key leadership, ensure their availability. If the video requires inputs and feedback from different stakeholders, then ensure that you seek their opinions at the appropriate stage of video production.
5. Storyboard and Script Development
Guide and provide as much input as possible to the video production company you have contracted so that they can develop a script and storyboard that is close to your vision. A well-structured narrative enhances viewer engagement and ensures the seamless delivery of key messages.
6. Optimal Video Length
Consider your audience’s attention span and aim for optimal video length. While brevity is often key, complex topics may warrant more time. Striking the right balance is essential for maintaining viewer interest.
7. Professional Production Quality
Invest in professional production to enhance your brand’s credibility. High-quality visuals and sound contribute significantly to positive viewer perception, reinforcing your brand’s commitment to excellence.
8. Brand Consistency
Align your video with your brand guidelines to maintain consistency. Ensure that your video reflects your brand’s visual identity, reinforcing brand recognition across all channels.
9. Strategic Distribution Planning
Plan how and where your video will be distributed. Understanding your distribution channels, whether on your website, social media, or during presentations, informs the production process and maximizes reach.
10. Engage and Include a Call to Action
Market your video to actively engage your audience and include a clear call to action (CTA) at the end. Prompt viewers to take the desired next step, such as visiting your website, subscribing, or making a purchase.
11. Define Metrics for Success
Establish measurable success metrics aligned with your goals. Defining key performance indicators (KPIs) such as views, engagement rates, or conversions enables you to gauge the impact and effectiveness of your video.
12. Adaptability for Repurposing Content
Consider the potential for repurposing your video content. Commission versatile videos that can be adapted for various platforms, ensuring flexibility in your marketing strategy and maximizing the value of your production efforts.
