Brands should use video as a powerful storytelling tool, but keep in mind that consumers want to watch content about what interests them the most—themselves. Brands need to personalize their videos at scale to give every customer the attention they expect and deserve. There are several types of personalized videos that can help you connect with your customer, so what should you use for your brand? Here are the three most common types of personalized videos you can use to push your brand further.


What is a personalized video?


A personalized video is the combination of customer research and video creative to deliver a unique, compelling video for every customer. Brands can leverage everything from the customer’s name and specific preferences and even purchase history to create video that’s relevant to them. The result? Boosted customer loyalty, conversions and so much more. Now, let’s get into the specific types of personalized video your brand can use, and when you should use them.


1.    Onboarding videos


Today’s brands need to make a great first impression, and a personalized onboarding experience can help them do just that. A fun-to-watch, personalized video is a friendly way to welcome your new customers. Your welcome video can include brief, personalized introductions to your company values and culture. Some brands take things a step further and create personalized thank you videos for customers who’ve made their first purchase—it’s a great way to show appreciation and create goodwill in the process.


2.    Customer service videos


Complex topics are often a pain point for a brand’s customer service department. Data-driven videos that proactively answer questions—before a customer gets frustrated—are a great personalized video that can reduce potential headaches, both for the customer and your customer service team.


3.    Sales videos


One of the best personalized videos that can contribute to your overall bottom line is the sales video. Many brands create cross-selling and upselling videos that present customers with an additional purchase. In many cases, putting your offer on video can show your customer how making this additional purchase will be of value to them. Speak directly to your viewer and greet the customer by name (if possible) to make your message more direct and authentic. Since viewers now have the ability to interact with whatever video they’re watching, include a clickable CTA in your video to make it easy for the customer to take the next step—making the purchase.


Effective personalized videos connect with your customer


Today’s viewers expect personalized experiences, and they don’t just watch videos either—they interact with them. Video marketing is always evolving.

Designing a 3D Brand Universe for Microsoft Viva + Copilot

By Spin Creative • June 11, 2025
At Spin Creative, we believe the most effective product stories go beyond features—they tap into a clear, emotionally resonant narrative that connects with real people. That’s the lens we brought to our collaboration with Microsoft Viva, where our challenge was clear: create a high-impact video that visually captures how Copilot AI empowers people at work. The end result? A fully 3D-animated brand film designed to wow audiences at executive keynotes, tradeshows, and enterprise events. But how we got there is just as important as what we delivered.
