What are Video Brand Guidelines?

Video brand guidelines are a set of standards that outline how a company's brand should be represented in video content. They play a crucial role in maintaining a consistent brand image by ensuring that visuals, tone, storytelling, and overall brand strategy are aligned across all video materials.

 

Why do I need Video Guidelines?

Cohesive guidelines increase brand recognition as consistent visual elements and messaging help build a strong and memorable brand identity.

They enhance customer loyalty as a cohesive brand experience creates a sense of familiarity and connection, encouraging repeat business and advocacy

Case Studies

Leading Management Consulting Group

Our client was facing a recurring challenge: they were creating video at a high volume but found that it was disparate and off-brand in terms of style, look, and feel. 

Casual stepped in to create:

  • a set of easy-to-use motion graphic templates so our client could easily plug in and create content themselves without our involvement
  • a custom set of video treatments to accelerate video projects that they chose to engage with us on
  • a video best practices playbook to ensure that all future content-creators would have a creative framework for video quality, consistency and defined how their brand came to life in video

Global Hotel Brand

Our client was one of the world's biggest hospitality brands. Video is an essential part of their marketing efforts, painting an aspirational and informative picture of all the properties around the globe. 

With hundreds of locations and disparate content creation teams, Casual stepped in to create a set of video brand guidelines that covered video best practices, like tone of voice, color grading style, sound design, and technical specs for filming.

With all of these elements laid out in a single toolkit, we enabled our client to empower all of its global creators with the right tools to tell their stories.

Cutting-Edge SaaS Powerhouse

One of our longest-term clients, a leading B2B SaaS provider, needed us to film a multi-episode customer stories campaign, where we highlighted  product use cases. 

Our creative framework ensured all footage shot was consistent in look and feel by defining optimal camera and technical specs. We streamlined the editing style, music choice, and narrative tone across the campaign and ensured that color grading and sound design were cohesive. 

Our guidelines were used to brief other cross-functional teams within the organization and set a standard for consistency in documentation across the company.
