WHY MOST CORPORATE VIDEOS FAIL-AND WHAT YOU SHOULD REALLY LOOK FOR IN A CORPORATE VIDEO PRODUCTION COMPANY
Jul 11, 2025
If you are a decision-maker marketing head, CEO, or senior manager - odds are strong you've been looking for a corporate video production firm in Bangalore. You're not the only one. It's one of the most widely outsourced marketing tools for businesses seeking to expand their presence, pitch investors, or enhance their sales story.
But here's the painful reality: most corporate videos- when those made by a professional Corporate Video Production Company - don't work.
They don't succeed not because they're ugly -they're often sleek, handsome, and well-produced. They don't succeed because they don't drive business.
And if you're investing time, effort, and budget on something that's not delivering results, you're not just wasting money, you're diluting your message.
The Real Reason Most Corporate Videos Underperform
Let’s address the core issue: corporate videos are often approached as a checkbox exercise.
“Let’s get one good brand film.”
“We’ll shoot a 2-minute video to cover everything.”
“We just need something presentable for LinkedIn or our website.”
The dilemma? Video is not a decoration. It's not a placeholder on your homepage or an expo booth background loop. A company video is a strategic business tool. And tools require purpose.
But too many businesses -perhaps unwittingly, perhaps knowingly - approach video production as a creative errand, rather than a strategic opportunity.
A corporate video with no audience clarity, purpose clarity, or platform clarity is like making a sales pitch without knowing who is listening.
What You Think You Need vs What You Really Need
If you're directing marketing or overseeing brand perception, you naturally assume you need a “catchy video” that is high-end, stylish-looking, and professional-looking.
You may think one video can: Describe everything about the company Impress stakeholders Increase social media engagement Persuade new clients or investors But let's be real - one-size-fits-all never works, particularly in high-stakes communication. What you really need is a suite of thoughtful content, each playing its part in your buyer's journey-whether it's creating awareness, fostering interest, or closing deals. What Makes a Good Corporate Video Work Here's what makes high-impact videos different from uninspired, forgettable ones: 1. It Speaks to a Specific Audience Is this for customers? Potential employees? Investors? A foreign product distributor? Each of these audiences requires a distinct tone, message, and pacing. A good corporate video production company will advise you on this- most don't. 2. It's Built Around a Purpose Do you want to establish trust? Stand in a different position? Break down something complicated? Open a new vertical? Unless you anchor your video to a business objective, it's nonsense. 3. It Fits Into a Larger Communication Plan
A great corporate film doesn't sit on your website - it becomes the top domino in your pitch decks, sales talks, investor pitches, and LinkedIn strategy.
