A Brand Storytelling Primer

Video production is a powerful way to tell your brand’s story. It can help you connect with your audience on an emotional level and communicate your message in a way that words alone cannot. But how do you make sure that you’re telling the right story?

First, why is it important to tell your brand’s story?

Your brand is more than just your logo or your product. It’s the sum of all the experiences and interactions that people have with your company. And video is a powerful tool to help you shape those experiences.

Your brand story should be reflective of your company’s values. It should be authentic, clear, and concise. And it should be something that you can tell over and over again.

Telling your brand’s story will help you build an audience that connects with you on a personal level. They’ll be more likely to become loyal customers and advocates for your business.

And video is the perfect medium for storytelling. It’s visual, it’s engaging, and it can evoke emotions in a way that other forms of communication cannot.

Think about it this way: A video can tell a story that engages the viewer on an emotional level, which can lead to a deeper connection with your brand. That’s why video is such an effective marketing tool.

How Should You Tell Your Brand’s Story?

Now that we’ve established the importance of video in storytelling, let’s talk about how to make sure you’re telling the right story.

There are a few key things to keep in mind when crafting your brand’s story.

First, think about what makes your brand unique. What are its core values? What are your brand’s goals? Who is the face of your brand? How did your brand get started? Where do you see your brand in five or ten years? What does it stand for? Is it corporate or political? These are the things that should be at the heart of your story.

Once you know what your story is about, you need to figure out who your audience is. Who are you trying to reach with your video? What do they care about? What will resonate with them?

It’s also important to keep in mind the overall tone of your video. Are you trying to be funny? Inspirational? Informative? The tone should be consistent with the rest of your brand’s messaging.

Finally, you need to make sure that your video is visually appealing. This means choosing the right video style and using high-quality visuals.

So how do you tell your brand’s story through video?

Here are a few tips:

Start with a strong script. This is the foundation of your video and will dictate everything from the tone to the visuals. Consider storyboarding your script, too so that you have a good visual guide to know what shots you need.

Choose the right video style. There are a variety of video styles to choose from, so pick one that fits your brand and story. It should be professional but fit your brand’s personality and appeal to your audience.

Use high-quality visuals. This includes everything from video footage to graphics and animations. Making sure you have everything set right in pre-production, using the best equipment during production, and having the most knowledgeable crew in post-production will help you make sure that your video is high-quality.

Make sure your video is mobile-friendly. More and more people are watching videos on their phones, so it’s important to make sure your video looks good on a small screen.

Promote your video. Once you’ve created your video, make sure to promote it on your website and social media channels. Here’s a quick guide on how to promote a livestream event.

How You Can Make Sure Your Video is Successful

However, producing a video is only half the battle. You also need to make sure that your video is seen by the right people. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Define your target audience. Who do you want to reach with your video? What are their interests? How will they find your video? You can make sure that you’re targeting the right audience when you create a Buyer Persona.

Keep it short and sweet. People have short attention spans, so make sure your video is under two minutes. A Brand Sizzle could be your best bet!

Make it visually appealing. Use high-quality video and audio, and consider hiring a professional video production company to produce your video.

Promote your video. Once you’ve created your video, promote it through social media, email marketing, and other channels.

By following these tips, you can produce a video that will help you tell your brand’s story and connect with your target audience.
