What Kind of Video Does Your Business Need?

April 29, 2025

So, you’re thinking about getting a video made for your business - brilliant!


But before you dive head-first into booking a film crew, there’s one big question to answer. What do you actually want the video to do?   


Different goals call for different kinds of videos. Let’s break it down. Here are a few video types to help you figure out what’s right for your business. 


Brand Awareness: Tell Your Story   


If you’re looking to make a mark and get your name out there, a brand awareness video is the way to go. These are your bold, high-impact pieces that introduce who you are, what you do, and most importantly, why you do it.   


Think cinematic visuals, emotive messaging, and strong storytelling. It’s about building a connection with your audience and making sure your brand sticks in their mind. Great for websites, pitches, or the top of your marketing funnel.

Product Demos: Show It Off 


Got a product that people need to see to believe? A product demo video lets you walk viewers through the features, benefits, and USPs of your offering. Keep it clear, concise, and focused on solving a problem your customer has. 


These are ideal for landing pages, email campaigns or even in-store screens. Bonus points if you can make it look easy and fun to use. 


Educational Content: Teach, Don’t Just Sell 


If you want to build trust and position yourself as an expert in your field, go for educational content. These videos help your audience learn something useful. Whether that’s how to use your product, understand a process, or pick the right service. 

This type of content works wonders on YouTube, your blog, or even LinkedIn. People love to share things that help them look smart, and if your video does that, everyone wins.


Event Highlights: Capture the Buzz 


Whether it’s a conference, product launch, or just an office get-together, event highlight videos capture the energy, excitement and atmosphere of your event. These are fantastic for social media, future promos, or just showing your company’s human side. 


It’s not just about the speeches and formalities, it’s the little moments that make people feel something! 


Social Media Ads: Short, Snappy, Scroll-Stopping 


If your goal is to drive clicks, sign-ups, or sales, then you’ll want short-form ads built for social media. These need to be quick, eye-catching and straight to the point, ideally within 6 to 30 seconds. 


These videos should be tailored to the platform you’re using. What works on TikTok probably won’t cut it on LinkedIn and vice versa. 


So... What’s Your Goal? 


The best video for your business all depends on what you're trying to achieve. Need to build trust? Go educational. Want to launch a new product? Get a demo made. Whatever your goal, CH Video can help you choose the right style, tone, and format to make it happen.

Lots of brands are pulling video production in house. On paper, it sounds efficient but in practice? We’re seeing a different story. Here’s what often gets overlooked. You’re Hiring Individuals - Not a Creative Team Once you factor in salaries, kit, software and overheads, most businesses end up with one or two junior to mid creatives. Talented, yes. But limited in scope. An agency gives you directors, animators, writers, cinematographers, strategists… activated only when you need them. Creativity Gets Stuck In house teams work on the same brand day in, day out. Agencies work across sectors, styles and problems and that cross pollination is where the best ideas come from. Retention Gets Hard and Expensive Strong creatives crave variety and progression. Small teams can’t always offer it, and when one person leaves, the whole system wobbles. Replacing technical talent is costly and the “savings” of in housing disappear fast. Who’s Challenging the Brief? Executing a brief is one thing. Challenging it is another. You should have someone asking, “Is this the right format?” or “What if we did it differently?”. That’s where outside perspective becomes invaluable.

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.
