What is a Corporate Video?

A corporate video is professionally produced visual content designed for a business or organization to communicate with its intended audience.

Unlike traditional advertising, these videos are not primarily for direct sales. Instead, they serve multiple purposes, such as building brand awareness, explaining products and services, or conveying complex information in an easy-to-digest manner.

Corporate video production can be used to:

• Introduce new employees to your company culture

• Showcase testimonials from happy customers

• Create learning and development training

• Promote your business with digital marketing campaigns

• Highlight notable company milestones

Whatever the focus, the goal is to strengthen the company’s relationship with its customers, employees, and stakeholders. Good Kids has extensive experience in producing various types of corporate videos tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients.

The Many Benefits of Corporate Video Production

There are many different types of corporate video production, and whichever you choose, the advantages are undeniable:

Improve Information Retention: About 95% of viewers are more likely to remember the message of a high-quality video. It’s an effective tool in your marketing strategy—one that makes sure your target audience can recall your brand and its values.

Build Trust and Credibility: Through testimonials and stories that showcase real people, corporate videos create a personal touch that helps humanize your brand and foster trust. It’s an important part of any relationship with customers and stakeholders.

Get Your Point Across Quickly: Video content delivers your message in a concise, effective way that gets through to viewers who have multiple demands on their attention. It’s why many businesses use it for internal communications, such as training videos and onboarding new employees.

Diverse Content Types: A corporate video isn’t just one thing: it could be an animated video, an explainer video, a live-action brand video—whatever best fits the story you want to tell. That flexibility helps vary your content and how you present your brand.

Strengthen Company Culture: You can use corporate videos to showcase your work culture, which engages new hires and motivates existing employees. You can also use recruitment videos to showcase the values and ethos that your business video aims to promote.

Expand Reach: Video marketing isn't limited by geography. A Toronto, New York & Los Angeles-based video production agency like Good Kids can promote a video project on many different channels across the world. That gives you optimal return on your investment.

At Good Kids, we understand the myriad benefits of corporate video production and are dedicated to helping our clients harness these advantages. Learn more about how our corporate video services can help your business thrive.

How Much Does Producing a Corporate Video Cost?

The short answer: It varies. A corporate video can cost as little as $2,500 and as much as six figures. At the end of the day, it depends on your budget and what your goals are for the video. Corporate video production companies commonly estimate that for a 2- to 3-minute professionally produced corporate video, you’ll probably spend between $20,000 and $70,000.

On average, pricing comes to $800 to $4,000 per finished minute of video, which factors in the video type, the length of the video shoot, any special effects, and the size and rates of the production crew.

Cost Breakdown:

• Pre-Production: Scriptwriting, storyboarding, location scouting, casting

• Production: Filming, directing, lighting, sound recording

• Post-Production: Editing, color correction, sound mixing, adding graphics and effects

Factors Influencing Cost:

• Video Length: Longer videos require more resources.

• Complexity: Special effects, animations, and multiple locations increase costs.

• Crew Size: Larger crews with more specialists cost more.

• Quality of Talent: Hiring professional actors or voice-over artists can add to the expense.

Budgeting Tips:

• Set Clear Goals: Know what you want to achieve with your video to avoid unnecessary expenses.

• Plan Thoroughly: Detailed planning can prevent costly mistakes and delays.

• Choose the Right Production Company: Working with an experienced team like Good Kids ensures that your investment yields high-quality results. See our pricing guide for more details.

Types of Corporate Videos

Corporate Video Production for Businesses

The reality is that it is an important part of any video production business. It is the “bread and butter”, as we often call it, of most video production companies. Most corporate video production projects are based around talking heads, b-roll of a product or facility, and some sort of narration and corporate-sounding music. And while that might sound a little dull, there is actually a whole new world of possibilities out there for ​corporate video and the video content producer.

With the advent of sliders, brushless gimbals (think Steadicam but more versatile), aerial platforms, and motion control time-lapse rigs, there are actually a multitude of options out there for a director or cinematographer who wants to do more with their videos. There is also a level of sophistication that is rising every year along with demands and expectations from clients and the content they are seeking. These days there is a crowded marketplace full of qualified video content producers and creatives that have extremely professional tools at unbelievably low costs at their disposal. Visually speaking, you can make a beautiful video production pretty easily these days. So where does that leave us?

As always, the story is the beginning. How you tell the message and what you help the audience walk away with is always going to outshine technology. The focus, tone, and specificity with which you deliver the message is also more important than ever when marketing your business. Without a solid story, we run the risk of doing things because ‘they look cool’ or using a piece of gear just because we made an investment in it.

The point is to know your audience, know your objective, and deliver the goods as simply and effectively as possible. Technology will continue to provide endless creative possibilities, but without good creative, solid production processes, and an experienced company facilitating this, they will just be possibilities.

Okay I’m in! Now how do we make a corporate video?

There’s a 3-step process when putting together your video project, in which we will give a brief walkthrough. Each step of the way the client (you) will have as much input as you like and nothing is done without the client’s approval.

Corporate Video – Step 1: Pre-production

Video pre-production is where the corporate video begins to take shape and acts as an overall guide for the project.

First, we gather all the information we’ll need from our client about what they’re looking for, what audience the video should speak to and any other important marketing details for promoting your business. It’s important to ask difficult and creative questions. This is the part of the process where we need that level of insight to really understand your business and maybe even unearth some hidden gems that elevate you above the competition.

It’s our job to use these key selling points to get an idea of what message will make the difference to your clients or employees. Then, by developing a script, and in some cases a storyboard, we create a road map containing the information necessary to produce a corporate video. This is the phase when a number of important decisions are made such as the video production schedule, crew selection, shooting list, location options, film permits, casting choices, which props, wardrobe and picture vehicles will be needed.

Basically, anything which appears as a noun in the script must be available on set in time for the corporate video shoot. We make that happen.

Corporate Video – Step 2: Production

Production is when the recording of visual and audio elements takes place and is typically the shortest and most intense phase of the video production process. It’s also often the most fun! All the hard work, which can often last weeks in preparation and planning, is put into action at this time. The size of the selected crew can change depending on each project but may consist of a director, director of photography, audio engineer, camera operators, gaffer, grip, and production assistants. I know that this might sound like a lot of people, but trust that they are not only there for a reason, but also possess very specific skills. From the outside, it might seem like a small production might not need a 3-5 person crew, but there are a variety of reasons why this can be vital. Think of it like The A-Team or Mission Impossible or the Ocean’s crew 🙂

Each member has:

✓ Specific skills
✓ A specific time to act
✓ Their own unique tools
✓ High attention to detail for their role

So yeah, it’s kinda like you’re hiring an elite team of specialists to execute the one perfect plan — the plan just happens to be your corporate video.

Corporate Video – Step 3: Post-production

Post-production is where it all gets put together! This is when we take all the corporate video music, footage, audio tracks, sound effects, animation, and graphics and compile them into editing software to form one cohesive piece. Often this team is different from the pre-production and production crews, as we depend on editors and audio engineers with in-depth knowledge of the editing and special effects process and technology to post the video.

The difference between a general corporate video and a corporate video that really pops can often be the deft hand and eye of a professional colorist. The feel of an edit that works just right might be no more than a few frames or one different shot choice, but a talented editor can be the game-changer.

Graphic polish can also come down to a slightly better use of complementary colors or a more sophisticated font choice. But most importantly, it takes a team to make it all come together seamlessly. For these reasons, post-production often takes just as long, if not longer, than the rest of the video production process.

Note: Animated Corporate Video Projects and Video Production Companies that Produce them

The process to produce an animated corporate video is a bit different since step 2 from above (production) is skipped entirely with all the visuals being created in post-production. You may think this is cost saving but a full 3D animated video will almost always be more expensive to create due to how many hours they require in post-production. Usually, a production company will specialize in either live action (production) or an animated format.

With that said, the video production industry has made some impressive strides over the years, and animated video projects are no exception. These video production projects offer an engaging and effective way to present information to a company’s target audience. Through animation, corporate video producers can bring stories to life in vivid detail while creating a memorable experience for viewers.

Final Steps for the Corporate Videos and Video Production Company

We work tirelessly to make your video exactly what you need to accomplish your goals. This will typically take a few rounds of revisions before everyone signs off following this process. Then, the client approves the video and the final product or “deliverables”, are uploaded to the appropriate FTP servers, broadcast stations, or websites as specified for delivery.

The entire project and its elements are usually backed up for several years so that sometime down the line changes can be made to the video or the footage can be recycled for other uses, such as social media, podcast, etc. It’s important that you choose a video production company that takes the archival process seriously and ensures that you’ll have access to what you did far down the line. At Good Kids, we go above and beyond.

Videos are Effective

Video projects offer a unique and engaging way for corporate video producers to present information to their target audience. Experienced production companies are the ideal partners for video makers looking to create something special, providing creative direction, video crews, equipment, and post-production services to help bring video projects to life.

With an experienced video production team by their side, corporate video makers can ensure that their video project is completed to the highest standard.
