What is a promotional video?
A soft sell that never clocks out.
A promotional video is a short film that shows people what you do, why it matters and what to do next — call for a quote, book a demo, walk through your door. Done well, it does the job of your best salesperson on your website, in your ads and in every email you send, around the clock.
Horizon Visual Media makes promotional videos for businesses across Maine and New England: brand films, commercials for TV, streaming and social, product launches and service explainers. We're based in Auburn and film everywhere from Portland and Lewiston to Bangor, New Hampshire and beyond.
Every project starts with one question: what should the viewer do after they watch? We build the story backward from that answer, so the film doesn't just look good — it moves people toward a decision. We also plan the cutdowns up front, so one shoot gives you a main film for your homepage plus 15- and 30-second versions for paid social, YouTube and connected TV.
Not sure whether you need a brand film or a commercial? A brand film tells people who you are and why you exist; a commercial sells one offer, fast. Most businesses get the most mileage from both, and planning them together keeps the cost down.
- Planned around a single, measurable action
- Cutdowns for ads and social built into the plan

FAQ
Promotional video questions.
Still wondering about something? Ask us directly — we answer fast.
How long should a promotional video be?
Brand films usually run 60–120 seconds. Ads work best at 15–30 seconds. We typically plan a main film plus shorter cuts so you have the right length for every placement.
How much does a promotional video cost?
It depends on shoot days, locations, talent and how many versions you need. Our cost estimator gives you an honest range in about a minute, and we'll lock in a fixed quote after a short call.
What's the difference between a brand video and a commercial?
A brand video tells your story — who you are, what you stand for and why people should trust you. A commercial is short and sells one specific offer. Many clients film both in the same shoot to save cost.
Do you write the script?
Yes. We handle concept, scripting and storyboards — or just a loose outline if the style is documentary. You approve everything before we film.
Can you deliver files ready for our ads?
Yes. We deliver ready-to-upload versions sized for YouTube, Meta, LinkedIn and connected TV, with captions.
How long does it take?
Most promotional projects take 4–8 weeks from kickoff to delivery. Launch date coming up fast? Tell us — we can often compress the schedule.
Do you work outside Maine?
Yes. We're based in Auburn, Maine and regularly film across New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and the rest of New England.
