Your Brand’s Story is Worthy of a Video

Spin Creative • November 2, 2020

More and more, marketers are turning to storytelling to attract and connect with potential buyers. The hard sell is quickly being overshadowed by emotional, moving stories that show the mission, values and inner workings of brands and build customer loyalty. While there are many ways brands can share these stories, one of the most powerful choices is through video.

Your brand’s story serves a number of purposes. First, it shares the purpose, values, goals and history behind your brand, giving the audience an inside look into what you’re all about. Effective brand storytelling also relates to viewers on a personal level, humanizing your brand instead of shielding your mission behind a corporate appearance. This gives customers a way to align their own values and goals with your brand’s.

Together, these things build authenticity and trust, which not only attracts and engages new customers but also solidifies long-term relationships with existing ones. When customers truly understand your brand and align with your values, customer loyalty is more common.

So, how do you share your story most effectively? Think about the mediums brands often use to tell stories. Articles or text posts can be informative, but they likely aren’t as eye-catching, and you might lose customer interest partway through. Photos are visually engaging, but they often lack a lot of context, and there’s only so much you can share through static imagery.

Video, however, pulls a combination of engaging elements together to create an experience for your brand’s story. It has the visual appeal of photos and the context and understanding of text, plus more elements like music, movement and special effects that make your story that much more powerful.

Video lets you show, not tell
One of the biggest benefits of using video to share your brand story is how imagery can be used to “prove” what you’re saying to the audience. 

If you’re highlighting your brand’s mission and the work you do in your community, you can pair voiceover explanation with footage of your team’s work and impact. If you’re talking about the benefits of your products, you can actually show viewers the product in action. And, if you’re trying to humanize your brand and make it seem relatable, it’s much more authentic to show your actual staff in action.

While text and photo pairings can accomplish something similar, video uses controlled pacing, audio and powerful visuals to tell the story in an easily digestible, more emotional way. By pairing each of these elements to your brand’s look, feel and passion, you will create authentic, unique imagery that sticks.

Video is versatile
Another major benefit of sharing your brand’s story through video is the variety of places video can be shared today. 
Television and digital advertisements are still very common, but your brand videos can also live on social media, within emails and on your website. By expanding the number of potential touchpoints a customer can have with your story, you increase the chances of them discovering and resonating with what your brand has to offer.

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.

At Spin Creative, we’ve always believed that the power of brand storytelling lies in connecting emotionally with real people. But as artificial intelligence transforms industries at lightning speed, many marketing and creative leaders are asking the same question: What’s next for agencies like ours—and how do we continue to drive value in this new era? Here’s our point of view: AI is a powerful new tool—but not a replacement for insight, strategy, and human connection.
