Video Storytelling Ideas

There’s a lot of questions to ask before creating a video for your brand.

Who’s the audience? How long should it be? Where will it be seen?

But always focus on this question first: What’s the story?

“I own a kitty litter company,” you might say. “What story could I possibly tell about kitty litter?” A few ideas:

  • Talk about your company’s origin. Why did you start the business? Is there any interesting trivia about your brand?

  • Why kitty litter? Did you identify a specific need or opportunity in the market? Was “Big Litter” doing it all wrong? What do you find interesting about the product?

  • Define your difference. There’s a kitty litter that changes color when a cat has certain health issues. That early warning can literally save cat lives. What’s unique about your litter, its ingredients or packaging?

  • Appeal to your customers’ love of cats. How else are you helping kitties? Are you donating a share of your profits to cat-related medical research or adoption programs?

  • Tell feel-good stories about cats. The joy they bring to people. How beautiful they are. Their unique personalities.

  • Let your fans speak for you. Interview your happiest customers or compile their user-generated content into a video montage.

Sometimes you’re too close to what you do to see the different types of value you bring to customers. That’s when a different perspective comes in handy. Let us know if we can help you tell your story.
