How Corporate Brand Videos Drive Marketing and Sales Success: Insights and Case Studies
Simplifying Complex Messages
One of the biggest challenges companies face is explaining what they do in a way that is both engaging and easy to understand. Corporate brand videos solve this problem by distilling complex concepts into concise, visually compelling narratives.
For example, we created a service explanation video for a client that was used in pitch decks and shared with their audience. The goal? Eliminate common questions and ensure anyone watching could immediately grasp what the company does and why they are the best at it. By leveraging animation, clear messaging, and expert storytelling, the video transformed a potentially overwhelming topic into a memorable and digestible presentation.
Building Trust and Credibility
Videos have a unique ability to humanize a brand, making it more relatable and trustworthy. According to Wyzowl, 73% of consumers are more likely to make a purchase after watching a branded video that explains a product or service. By showcasing real people, genuine customer testimonials, and a professional yet approachable tone, brand videos create a connection that text or images alone cannot achieve.
Increasing Retention and Engagement
Studies show that viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch it in a video, compared to just 10% when reading text. This level of retention translates to more engaged prospects who are more likely to take action after consuming your content. Whether it’s understanding your value proposition or remembering key points during a pitch, video ensures your message sticks.
How Corporate Brand Videos Impact Sales
Enhancing Sales Decks and Presentations
Incorporating videos into sales presentations elevates their effectiveness. A well-crafted video can succinctly explain your services, demonstrate expertise, and visually reinforce your brand’s value—all within seconds.
For one of our clients, we developed a service explanation video that became a centerpiece of their sales deck. By replacing lengthy explanations with a polished, professional video, they could keep their audience’s attention and leave a lasting impression.
Another example comes from HubSpot, which created a brand video to highlight their CRM platform’s capabilities. By integrating this video into their sales process, HubSpot reported a noticeable increase in lead conversions as prospects were better informed before engaging with their sales team.
Shortening the Sales Cycle
Videos help address frequently asked questions and objections before they arise, enabling sales teams to focus on building relationships rather than repeatedly explaining details. According to research by Vidyard, sales teams using video report 41% more deals closed and a 44% faster conversion rate.
Dropbox’s explainer video is a prime example. Their simple yet effective video clarified the benefits of their service, contributing to a significant boost in sign-ups and shortening their overall sales cycle.
Proving Expertise
A well-produced video doesn’t just inform—it also demonstrates authority. In competitive industries, such as tech and biotech, positioning your company as the leader can make or break a deal. The video we produced for our client highlighted their unique solutions and market leadership, leaving no doubt about their expertise.
Similarly, Salesforce’s brand videos often showcase customer success stories, emphasizing their role as a trusted partner. These videos not only validate Salesforce’s expertise but also inspire confidence among potential clients.
