01
A TV Commercial or Spot
The most classic kind of video you can produce is the 15- or 30-second commercial commonly referred to as a “spot.” The content of a spot can widely vary depending on your brand and the story you want to tell, but the purpose of producing one is simply that it can be distributed virtually everywhere.
The keys to being successful with this type of video is to make it immediately engaging and to concisely tell your story within the relatively short runtime.
02
Explainer Video
If your business offers a service or good that isn’t immediately understood, an explainer video on your homepage or a landing page may be just what you need. These videos typically feature animation with a voiceover that explains what your business offers for the audience.
Explainer videos don’t have to be animated. Time lapses of illustrations, a live-action recording, or any other visual way of telling your story are equally appropriate.

Company Culture Videos
White Lens Productions produced this company Culture video for a prominent Cedar Park, TX business.
Company culture videos have two unique purposes. First, they highlight the ethos of your company to potential customers. The intention here isn’t to sell a product or service, but to market your brand as a whole.
Second, culture videos are great for attracting new talent. Sometimes you need to market your brand not to new customers, but to potential new employees, which can be essential for growing your business.
One of the best ways to do this is to capture your most passionate employees on camera.
04
Customer Testimonials
When customers talk about the benefits of a product people tend to believe them. The key is using people who look like your target audience and sound natural and conversational and not like they’re reading a script.

05
Company Mini Documentary
A longer-form video that gives time to really go into more depth into a company, a product, or a problem the company or organization solves. These can be very engaging and allow the viewer to understand more about the company and the people that make up the company.
These types of videos are generally longer in length, lasting 3 to 15 mins.

06
Proof of Performance Videos
Proof of Performance videos highlight the success of a product and quote eye-popping statistics. They work best when they talk about how they solved a common problem.
Using videos for business introductions dramatically improves your chance of success. People would much rather watch a short, entertaining, and informative business video, than read case studies and white papers, or watch a company rep do a live demo. Seeing people’s faces, hearing their voices, and watching their movement and body language grabs consumers’ attention and makes the information being presented more meaningful researchers say. Video marketing and business videos check all those boxes and more.
