How to Make your Videos Appeal to your Target Audience

January 14, 2021

If you want your business to experience growth , video will be a key part of your marketing strategy. But how do you know whether your video content is being positively received by the right people?

At CH Video, we have heaps of experience when it comes to identifying target audiences and then creating videos that maximise engagement from those audiences. Here’s how you can do that too…

Define your Target Audience

Before you even begin thinking of the kind of video content you want to produce, you must first think about the kind of audience you are marketing to. To do this you must think about the characteristics of the ideal consumer of your product or service, such as their age, gender etc.

Once you have done this you can start to build a viewer profile which can be used to inform video production decisions you make, which we’ll go into more detail in next. However, you should make it your priority to accurately identify your target audience so you can create video content that is genuinely interesting to them. This can lead to a greater number of leads and conversions.

Use an Appropriate Tone of Voice

The next step you need to take is establishing a tone of voice for your video that will be appropriate for your target audience. Whilst your video content’s tone of voice is also dependent on what type of product or service you are marketing, it’s also important to consider the people who will be watching it.

For example, if your target audience is a younger demographic, then it might be beneficial for you to use an informal tone of voice to better reach out to your ideal viewers. Other factors to consider apart from formality are the amount of humour and use of technical jargon.

Create Relevant, Informative and Entertaining Content

The goal of your video content should be to build a trusting relationship between you and your target audience. A surefire way of achieving this is by producing videos that are informative, entertaining and relevant to the concerns of your target audience. 

Designing your video content with these goals in mind will help you to create promotional material that will really reach out to your potential audience. You want to establish your brand as a trustworthy authority on what you’re promoting, without putting anyone to sleep.

Fast Turnaround Videos, How To Make Them Work

By Emily Blanden • June 3, 2026
Fast turnaround videos. What we do and what our clients do to make it work. Our Managing Director, Emily Blanden, shares what we’ve learned from creating fast-turnaround videos for our clients - without the panic stations. From getting the brief nailed down early to keeping feedback clear and speedy, Emily talks through the little things that make a big difference when deadlines are tight.  My team might not thank me for writing this. We’ve just completed two motion graphics projects on extremely tight turnarounds. A three minute video briefed in and delivered within six working days. A five minute video done in four. Sharing how we did this might result in us getting even more last minute briefs, sorry in advance to my team! Short lead time work is stressful. We’d always love more time. But over the years we’ve developed a process that makes it possible to create quality work, fast and I think it’s worth sharing, because a lot of it comes down to what both sides of the relationship do along the way.

CH x Euronics: Going the Extra Mile

By Aidan Patterson • May 12, 2026
When Euronics came to us with a brief, it was a good one: take a true story about an extraordinary delivery and turn it into something worth watching. The Brief Joe, a Euronics delivery agent, had been tasked with getting a chest freezer to a customer in rural Wales. The road ran out. He carried on anyway, on foot, through fields, across rivers and over hills. The customer was delighted. The story deserved to be told. Euronics asked us to produce a short comedic video retelling that journey. The challenge was finding the right visual language to match the scale of the tale. The Concept We pitched several approaches centred on a comic-book aesthetic, bold, energetic and a little tongue-in-cheek. It felt like the right fit: a story that was equal parts heroic and absurd, told in a style that leaned into both. The concept paired real interview footage of Joe with AI-generated visuals to bring his journey to life. Where a traditional shoot would have required location days across Welsh countryside, generative AI gave us the tools to illustrate the story scene by scene. Creative Wrangling We filmed Joe against a studio blue backdrop, letting him tell the story in his own words. His delivery did a lot of the heavy lifting (puns intended!), dry, matter-of-fact and quietly brilliant. The AI-generated visuals were built around detailed multi-angle reference sheets for Joe, the Euronics van and the chest freezer.
