When a business uses corporate videos in its marketing strategy, it can help it achieve up to a 49% increase in the amount of revenue it generates annually. So if a business is not making corporate videos actively, then it’s losing out majorly on an incredible conversion tool.

But that certainly isn’t the case today as many brands are making top-notch corporate videos that are not just going viral but are also bringing in tangible conversions for their respected brands.
A corporate video should eschew your company’s culture and the way you work, making others become more willing to work with you.

It can be really risky to be subliminal in the message you want to give your users but John St. pulled it off perfectly in its corporate video.

This corporate video gives the subliminal message that modern-day advertising needs to be done in an altogether different way, one which customers are looking to engage with like cat content, which has gone so viral till now.

10. AirBnB
Corporate videos or even marketing videos, in general, have become increasingly devoid of any great human story in recent times. Brands often forget the fundamental fact that “hearing from the other side” is still one of the most interesting things out there and one that can really engage people to no bounds.
This corporate video by AirBnB shares just this trait and in a brilliant way indeed. No fancy graphics, no heavy voiceovers, no nothing, just a simplistic video showing montages of real AirBnB hosts telling about their experiences with the service and how it has benefitted them. Sure it looks promotional but seeing real humans in a video for a change was definitely a great idea and one that perfectly gels with what AirBnB offers as a brand.
