5 Types of Videos Every Brand Needs

Video is no longer just an option — it’s a necessity. Whether you're a startup, a fashion label, a restaurant, or a tech brand, video content helps you tell your story, engage your audience, and drive real business results. But what kind of videos should you focus on?

Here are the 5 essential types of videos every brand should invest in:

1. Brand Story Video

Think of this as your brand’s first impression. A brand story video tells your audience who you are, what you stand for, and why you exist. It’s emotional, cinematic, and helps people connect with the soul of your business.

📌 Why it works: Builds trust, strengthens brand identity, and sets the tone for all your marketing.

🎯 Best for: Homepages, about pages, YouTube channels, and investor pitches.

2. Product/Service Explainer Video

Whether you're selling shoes, software, or biryani, people want to understand what makes your offering unique. An explainer video does just that — showcasing your product/service in action with clarity and creativity.

📌 Why it works: Simplifies complex ideas and boosts conversions.

🎯 Best for: Websites, landing pages, product launches, and paid ads.

3. Testimonial or Case Study Video

Let your customers do the talking. Testimonial videos show real people sharing real results. These authentic endorsements build credibility and social proof like nothing else.

📌 Why it works: Humanizes your brand and increases trust.

🎯 Best for: B2B services, product pages, social media, and email campaigns.

4. Social Media Shorts (Reels/Stories)

Quick, engaging, and highly shareable — short-form content is the backbone of social media success. These videos are fun, visually rich, and designed to hook viewers fast.

📌 Why it works: Increases reach, engagement, and brand recall.

🎯 Best for: Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook Stories, LinkedIn snippets.

5. Behind-the-Scenes (BTS) Video

People love to see the real you. Behind-the-scenes videos give your audience a peek into your process, team, workspace, or daily hustle — making your brand relatable and authentic.

📌 Why it works: Builds a loyal fanbase and deepens emotional connection.

🎯 Best for: Instagram Stories, YouTube, and company culture pages.
