Corporate Video Production Company
Video content is a relatively easy way to help build consumer trust, develop brand identity, train staff, explain complex products, and more.
We're a corporate video production company that values quality for more effective results.
With business video productions and viewership on the rise, more executives are starting to consider videos as a necessity in their marketing plan, and their day to day operations. A recent study from Forbes stated that 75% of business executives watch work-related videos on business websites at least once a week. So, just because you’re a B2B business doesn’t mean you have to stick to the old methods of white papers and webinars to reach your target audience. A lot goes into these business video productions and they can take a variety of shapes, so here’s a little more about how we tackle them.
Video production typically flows in a step-by-step process:
Pre-production:
Developing a budget, brainstorming a concept, and finally writing a script (or script outline). If a voiceover is required, it is often recorded before jumping into production.
Production:
Once a style is determined, a storyboard is created to layout the scene by scene actions. From there, the process is determined by the style.
- Live Action: Production for live action videos typically include setting a shoot location, hiring talent (if needed), and filming with a professional camera & lighting crew.
- Animation: Production for animated videos include developing illustrations assets based on the pre-determined style and storyboard, and then animating them in After Effects.
Post-production:
Once the video is produced, the post-production phase includes any editing required, adding the finishing touches such as additional on-screen graphics, and sound design.
What are the common types of business video production?
As a versatile corporate video production company, here are some various content types we've produced.
Testimonial Video Production
Live action client testimonial videos are often used to build consumer trust, and highlight the personality of a business. Business testimonial videos allow users go behind the scenes, talk about company history, and/or highlight a brand’s unique personality.
In this testimonial video for Meraki Go, a satisfied customer explains Meraki Go’s technology has helped his business efficiency.
Animated Corporate Video Production
There is a common misconception that animated videos are always too "cartoony." We’re here to set the record straight. While it’s true that kids love cartoons, the medium of animation doesn’t have to be confined to the Disney channel. An animated corporate video can actually be a great tool for your business to explain complex ideas, tools, and services. And don’t worry, those C-level execs will love it too!
IBM explains their data-driven video services to consumers using this animated corporate video. We found that a lot of companies like to make animation their first official corporate video production and then scale their efforts up from there.
Live Action Business Video Production
Live action video is great for businesses who have a tangible product that they want to share with the world. As opposed to the testimonial video style, live action corporate videos often tell a fictional story, or demonstrate a common scenario surrounding a product.
This style doesn’t have to feel stuffy. Just take a look at our live action piece for the B2B platform Showpad.
Corporate Communications Video Production
Your company is full of people. Those individuals could be spread out across multiple floors, cities, or countries. That’s why we’ve recently seen a rise in internal communications videos as it pertains to our corporate video productions. A corporate video production is often initiated by the executive team, human resources, or departmental managers with the intent to only be seen by employees or contractors of your business, to get everyone on the same page quickly.

Corporate Recruiting Video
A corporate recruiting video can be a great way to promote your company brand, showcase company culture, and encourage candidates to apply. Corporate recruiting videos are produced with the intent of giving potential employees a taste of what your company is all about and achieving your talent acquisition goals.
Hireology showcased their vibrant company culture and supportive, innovative work environment in their recruiting video. Luckily we had some former recruiters on staff, which made us the right corporate video production company for the job.
Corporate Video Series
A corporate video series is a collection of informative videos created with the same end goal in mind. Traditionally three or more videos, they’re designed to have a universal appeal to customers and non-customers alike. A business video series offers a unique opportunity to help your audience better understand complex topics within your industry, and encourage them to engage with your company. If possible, it is best to run these corporate video productions concurrently so that you can roll out new episodes on a more timely schedule.
In this video series for GEICO, we created a series of educational explainer animations for car owners who have to deal with the claim filing process.
Corporate Anthemic Video
We’ve seen more and more clients make brand anthems a part of their corporate videos production roadmap. These videos are often meant to hype up what they stand for, who they are, and provide some depth to their brand. Make it snappy. Make it pop. Change the way you and your audience think of corporate video productions with a solid brand anthem video, like the one we created for Gen II.
Stock & Motion Graphics Video
Stock can be a difficult production approach to navigate, but we've seen more of these productions come across our plate these past few years based on some limitations around getting on set, and traveling, safely. It's a common direction for a startup video production to take based on the ability to show people, product screens, and creating a scalable visual language.
Animated Conference Video
Crafting a corporate video for a conference often takes a different process than normal, given there may not be any sound so the pacing and use of text on screen needs to reflect that. We typically aim to keep the copy shorter and punchier, and use bold colors to catch the viewers' eye.
