Avoid These Corporate Video Commissioning Mistakes

Your first corporate video project can make or break your brand's visual identity.

Many businesses jump straight into production without proper planning, leading to costly mistakes and disappointing results. Are you setting up a brief that rushes the creative process, or forcing an unrealistic timeline that compromises quality?

These missteps happen more often than you'd think.

Smart companies invest time upfront to understand their objectives, target audience, and realistic budget parameters. They collaborate with their production team during the planning phase rather than micromanaging during filming.

When you work with experienced professionals who understand both creative excellence and project management, you'll avoid the pitfalls that derail most first-time corporate video projects.

What's your biggest concern about commissioning your first corporate video?

Motion Graphics vs Live Action: Which Suits Your Brand?

Struggling to choose between sleek motion graphics and authentic live action for your next corporate video? The decision impacts everything from budget to brand perception. Motion graphics excel at simplifying complex concepts and can be easily updated as your business grows, making them perfect for training videos and explainer content. Live action builds trust through authentic testimonials and puts a human face to your brand, ideal for company profiles and client stories.

The smart move? Consider your core message and audience needs first. Are you explaining a technical process or showcasing company culture? What resonates most with your target market and fits your timeline? At Motiv Productions, we've helped brands like Virgin Media and the BBC make this crucial choice, creating award-winning content that perfectly matches their communication goals.

Your Company Profile Film: Are You Camera-Ready?

Planning a company profile film but worried about the preparation? The difference between a good corporate video and a great one often comes down to what happens before the cameras start rolling. Key preparation steps include defining your core message and target audience upfront, ensuring your filming location reflects your brand professionally, and preparing your team with key talking points rather than rigid scripts. Most businesses underestimate how much smoother the production process becomes when stakeholders know their roles and the company's unique value propositions are clearly mapped out beforehand.

What's the biggest challenge your business faces when it comes to showcasing your brand on camera? At Motiv Productions, we've worked with everyone from Virgin Media to the BBC, and we know that the most authentic, engaging company profile films come from thorough preparation combined with our relaxed interview approach. Are you ready to create content that truly represents your business? 🎬

5 Ways to Boost Video ROI Without Spending More

Struggling to justify your video marketing budget? Most businesses miss these simple tactics that can double their return without adding extra costs. Repurpose your content across multiple channels - turn one corporate video into social snippets, training materials, and client testimonials. Focus on authentic storytelling rather than flashy effects, as genuine client testimonials consistently outperform heavily produced content. Optimise your distribution strategy by sharing videos at peak engagement times and across all relevant platforms.

The biggest mistake we see? Companies create brilliant videos then barely promote them. Your video's success isn't just about production quality - it's about strategic thinking and smart distribution. At Motiv Productions, we've helped brands maximise their video impact through careful planning and multi-channel approaches. What's your biggest challenge when it comes to measuring video success? Have you tried repurposing your existing content yet?

Video Success Starts Before You Hit Record

Most corporate videos fail before filming even begins, and it's not because of poor lighting or weak audio. The real culprit? Rushing straight into production without proper planning. Pre-production is where your video's success is actually determined. At Motiv Productions, we've seen countless projects transformed simply by getting the foundation right first. This means thorough research, developing compelling storylines, writing scripts that resonate, and creating detailed storyboards so everyone knows exactly what we're creating before the cameras roll.

Smart businesses understand that time invested in pre-production saves money and delivers better results. We start every project with a thorough creative project exploration session to understand your aims, then build a brief that maximises your budget whilst hitting your goals. What's the biggest challenge you face when planning video content for your business? Are you taking the time to properly plan your video projects, or are you one of those companies jumping straight to filming?

Planning Your Corporate Video? Start Here>

Getting your corporate video right means more than just pointing a camera and pressing record. What separates successful projects from expensive mistakes? The brief. Getting clear on your aims before filming starts will make or break your project. Are you looking to build brand awareness, communicate internally, or showcase your services? Each goal requires a different approach, and understanding this from day one shapes every decision that follows.

From our experience working with clients like Jet2holidays and Enterprise Car Hire, we know that comprehensive briefing meetings are the best starting point. This lets us understand what makes your business tick and create the right narrative to convey your story. Post-production then adds the finishing touches, from branded motion graphics and sound design to optimising your content for social media distribution. What's your biggest challenge when it comes to communicating your brand message? Have you considered how corporate video could help you cut through the marketplace noise?

Splattering ground crew and engine ingestion?? 🤔

Fun Animation Alert: Safety First at London City Airport!

Motiv’s talented animators had a blast creating eye-catching (literally) animations for London City Airport, showcasing the risks of being airside and the importance of staying focused on the job.

These ‘fun but serious’ animations are designed for training sessions and health & safety meetings, sparking engaging conversations among staff about safety protocols.

The result? A lively buzz among ground crew members discussing how to stay safe while working.

'Don't be like Berkley' hit the spot, just like his body parts... 🫣
