Can Corporate Videos be Creative?
Video marketing for small businesses is becoming the mainstay and most of these companies need a corporate video production company in London as a partner. At Beast London we know that corporate videos and the B2B video can be interesting and creative so long as there is the right balance between information and story. Our technique is to tackle each brief with a documentary approach. Corporate videos are a really interesting way of revealing new business opportunities. Our first step is top have a Skype call where we can learn about the nuances of each business and ultimately we are looking to hone in on that all important USP. From there we set up a face to face meeting and we use interview as a tool and principle technique for getting to the heart of the matter. Finding the truths and the details, which make any story unique is the key to making a really engaging corporate video production. As soon as you open up and make things personal it allows the viewer to connect and respond to you and your brand.
Beast won in the B2B video category at the 2017 London Brand Film Festival with our video for Cambridge Audio, “British Sound”. In this corporate video we tell the story from the beginning of the company’s creation back in the early sixties through the decades and right up to modern day at the company offices in London Bridge. We found that by having a mix between historical scenes together with our actor telling the story of Cambridge Audio in his home environment gave a truthful and insightful look into the brand’s story and this resulted in a creative and award winning corporate video.
The best corporate videos know how to tell a good story.
“No matter what the subject you can be sure of one thing, there’s always a story to tell, you just have to look for it.” Victoria Taylor, Creative Director at Beast.
