Consider the following areas which can directly benefit from telling the story through a corporate video:
Corporate communications: video augments and enhances printed press releases, allowing you to not only integrate such media releases into your own website, but also distribute them to television channels for broadcast.
Corporate briefings: video allows you to communicate with your stake-holders in a rich, compelling and an engaging way which retains their attention and loyalty.
Corporate events: company events like AGMs, presentations, conferences, seminars, product demonstrations, analysts reports all lend themselves excellently to video.
Trade shows: the whole intention of participating in a trade show is to exhibit the company and its products and gain market mind-share. Short, looping, high-impact exhibition reels can be produced to reenforce the company’s messages and invite visitors to step into your booth, thus presenting you and your staff the opportunity to convert those leads into real prospects.
Public relations: a video allows for direct engagement with the audience. Due due to the production techniques, visual aids can be integrated within the video to re-enforce your message.

Human resources: can benefit enormously from corporate videos where HR policies and procedures are explained in a unified and consistent manner. Just imagine how much a company can save in time and effort due to this alone.
Training: is one of the major costs for most companies of all sizes. Creating well thought out training videos can impact the company’s bottom line positively as these videos can reduce the time it takes to train personnel and help them become more productive. These videos can be produced in multiple languages too, if necessary, for different types of subjects and audiences. Think safety videos for example.
Induction videos: getting the right employees and partners in business is probably one of the most critical aspect of sustaining business success. Creating induction videos to take prospective employees on a guided tour of the work environment, the company’s policies, the country, the available schools and the entertainment and shopping options available are very strong inducements for prospective employees to positively consider working for the company.
Testimonials: one of the best marketing methods is to get your customers to sing your praises; however, ensure that what’s being said is believable, record it, package it properly and use it in your corporate or even use it as-is on your website.
