What Makes a Good Brand Video?

Brand videos have changed. Today, audiences are surrounded by content everywhere they look on social media, websites, streaming platforms, and even their inboxes. To stand out, a brand video needs to do more than just look good. It needs to tell a story that feels real, relevant, and worth watching.

As expectations continue to evolve, here’s what makes a great brand video in today’s digital landscape.

It Grabs Attention Quickly

The first few seconds matter more than ever. Viewers decide almost immediately whether to keep watching, especially on social media and mobile devices.

Strong brand videos:

• Start with a clear hook

• Get to the point quickly

• Use visuals that pull the viewer in

A slow build can work, but only if it’s intentional and supported by strong storytelling.

It Tells a Human Story

Audiences don’t connect with logos, they connect with people. Great brand videos focus on real stories, real voices, and real moments that reflect who you are and who you're hoping to connect to.

That might look like:

• Employees sharing what they love about their work

• Customers talking about real experiences

• Behind-the-scenes moments that show how things actually happen

Authenticity builds trust, and trust builds lasting relationships.

It’s Designed for Multiple Platforms

Brand videos aren’t just for your website anymore. They need to work across social media, email, presentations, and more.

That’s why modern brand films are often planned to be flexible! By creating a main video along with shorter clips, vertical versions, and social-friendly edits - you'll make them fit wherever your audience is watching.

It Matches Your Brand’s Voice & Leaves a Clear Impression

A great brand video feels like you. Whether your tone is bold, friendly, professional, or playful, the video should reflect your identity in a way that’s consistent and recognizable.

When tone, visuals, and messaging align, your video becomes an extension of your brand — not just another piece of content.

The best brand videos don’t just inform: they leave people feeling something. Whether that feeling is trust, excitement, curiosity, or confidence, your video should make your audience remember you.
