Corporate video production agency

Videos people want to watch

When you think of corporate videos, what comes to mind?

Probably not fizzy dialogue, gripping storylines and edgy camera angles. Because business has a video problem. They’re usually either dull and vanilla or downright cringeworthy.

So if you’re the brand whose videos sparkle, you’ll stand out from the crowd. That’s what we do: videos people want to watch. Videos people remember. Videos that change minds, fuel action, make a splash, tug at the heartstrings.

To do it, we have to think bigger than the nuts and bolts. Of course, we’ve been in this game long enough to know our B-rolls from our crop factors, but we also know how to find that unlikely story with the potential to catch fire (in a good way). It means asking the right questions, being obsessive about the creative process, and keeping the squishiest of goals in our minds all the way through: emotion. Because if your video doesn’t make people feel something, why make it at all?

Our corporate video production process

We don’t just make videos. We make them work for you. We think beyond graphics and characters to make sure your video hits the mark.

1) The research phase

When you brief us, we ask questions, research your competitors, interview prospects, listen on social media and study your brand. All to really and truly understand what you’re trying to achieve.

2) The ideas phase

Then our creatives and strategists get stuck in. They bounce ideas around, play with themes and concepts – from the muted to the mad. At the end of this process, we present the best ideas to you.

3) Bringing your video to life (and delivering it)

Then, we script, storyboard and style frame before delivering the final version. We always make sure to incorporate time for feedback.

Why our clients love us

We make sure the pressure is on us to deliver a video that’s as impactful as it is beautiful. It’s hard work. But it’s why our clients love us.

“I only have positive things to say about Definition. We pushed the team hard on timelines to animate a new video explaining what Carfused (part of Confused.com) is and we are really happy with the results. The team are easy to work with, responsive to feedback and love the creativity they bring to the table.”

Matthew Crole Rees, Head of ECRM at Confused.com

Our corporate film production tips

Close a deal with a case-study video. Support your staff with a training video. Or raise your profile with a brand video. A clear direction means you know what kind of video you need, what result you’re aiming for, and how to measure your success.

It’s easy to spot bad production. And bad production makes your brand look bad. You don’t need to splash out with a Hollywood blockbuster budget, but creating something great is difficult on a shoestring budget.

Business doesn’t have to be boring. Clever storytelling can bring even the most mundane parts of your business to life. Make your message memorable with an engaging story that keeps your audience hooked and entertained.

We know how important it is to get buy-in from stakeholders. So make sure you set objectives and KPIs and be upfront about budgets. That way everyone is kept in the loop with no nasty surprises.

Making your video beautiful is important. But it isn’t everything. Personalisation, interactive content, call-to-action buttons, music, sound effects, thumbnails and titles. There’s so much to use to tell your story brilliantly.

Nothing gets the blood pumping like a rising view count. But there’s so much more to consider. Where are you losing your audience? How are they finding your video? How are they watching it? All of this data needs be captured, analysed, reported on and used to hone and improve your video marketing strategy.

You’ve added your new corporate video to your website, making it search engine-friendly. Write some transcripts and captions; add metadata and video xml sitemaps. It’ll help boost your website’s SEO and make your videos more accessible.
