3. The Launch Video

Launch videos are your opportunity to present your new business, product, service, initiative, rebrand, or HQ to the world. The video format enables you to contextualise your launch messaging with great impact, and present a crafted story around your launch, to hit home with your target audience.

We’ve shot and produced a great number of launch videos for clients of all kinds, helping them to define their messaging, storyboard their video, and of course shoot and produce the final video, with our camera crew suppliers if budget allows.

4. The Explainer

Often your services or products aren’t as straightforward as you think. What seems simple to you, immersed in your business every day, could be impenetrable to your customers. Explainers are a great way to break down the complexities of your services/products, increasing the likelihood of conversions, and bringing your offering to life.

Explainer videos can take any form. You can commit to conventional people-led, to-camera videos, or lean on our creative capabilities for a more graphic, text, or animation-led approach, or a unique blend.

5. Product Demonstration Videos

Product demonstration videos can be great conversion generation tools. By leaving nothing to the imagination, exposing exactly how your product works, and providing context around who it’s for, and its benefits, you reduce the risk involved in making a purchase for the consumer, and increase the likelihood of conversion.

We’re highly experienced in breaking down the complexities of services and products into messaging tailored for your audience. Yes, our video marketing services are about more than shooting video! We have helped businesses with an entire suite of niche, hard to understand products, to make their offering accessible, engaging, and attractive to consumers. Trust us to help you storyboard, script, and define the messaging of your product demonstration videos, and capture high quality, consistent footage, to transform into conversion generating videos.

6. The Behind-the-Scenes Video

Pulling back the curtain and exposing the production, manufacturing and even distribution of your products, or for relevant service businesses, showing your service in action, is not only great content, but another way to develop your brand. Expose the people involved, to lend a human touch to your brand, and embrace a relaxed transparency that the modern consumer has come to expect.

The Marketing Optimist can support you with not only storyboarding and even scripting your behind the scenes videos, to ensure they convey the right messages in the right way, but can schedule shoots to capture your content, or arrange a shoot with our film crew suppliers if budgets allow.

7. Employee Profile Videos

It’s the era of transparency, and while team profiles are a great way to expose your talent, they can run the risk of being a little sanitised, and give the impression of being overly cultivated. Employee profile videos are a great way to feature your team, and a powerful way to convey company culture.

As an extension of your website design primarily, though they can of course be distributed across your social platforms, employee profile videos should all be shot in the same location, with consistency a high priority of the shoot, from where the employee is standing, to the camera the videos are shot on. We propose a planned shoot with The Marketing Optimist, or our film crew suppliers if budgets allow, for the most professional results.

8. Educational Videos

Educational videos are a fantastic tool to position you as thought leaders, or specialists within your industry. They’re also a great way to expose your expertise to an audience who will remember you when they require that specific skill set.

Educational videos can take a number of forms. While people-led educational videos are widely understood to be an effective and engaging learning tool, and great personal branding and positioning tool, you can also lean on our creative digital capabilities to convey your message via animation, a blend of footage, creative title screens and graphics, and beyond.

9. Event Videos

Event videos are another great way to pull back the curtain on what your business gets up to beyond manufacturing and selling products, or deploying services, and revealing what your team members are like away from their typical day jobs. These videos can provide light relief from sales-led content, and if you’re attending or showcasing at established events, there are great cross pollination opportunities for engagement on your event videos.

We have shot and created event videos for many clients of our video marketing services, which not only serve as evergreen website content of their achievements, but made excellent social media content, helped to bolster digital PR drives, played a part in positioning them in their industry, and increased awareness of their brand and business. Running events? We can help.

10. Video Ads

When you want to push a particular service, product, or offer, it’s tempting to create some fast content for delivery across your social platforms, to get the word out. Video Ads are a great way to do this in an engaging way, provide context that a typical post simply can’t, and add some creative flair, to maximise engagement and lead generation.

As strategic marketers, we know a thing or two about capturing attention with an ad! Video adverts can be graphic videos, people-led direct-to-camera videos, a combination – your imagination is the limit. We can help not only produce the video, but help you to identify the perfect approach for your various audiences.
