The corporate video has really evolved over the past few years. The older company videos you used to see were usually comprised of someone, usually a high-ranking person from upper management, or the CEO themselves, talking about how great the company is, and what they’ve accomplished over the years that they’ve been in business. Informative, but hardly riveting material.

Since plenty of companies followed the same format for their own company videos, the reputation of the company video really went downhill for a while after that. Companies chose not to have company videos made as it tended to send the wrong kind of message to their audiences, and they did not want to have that kind of association with their companies.

With the rise in popularity of video content and the push for more creative industries in the professional world, the corporate video is making a definite comeback, with video production companies putting a fresh take on these videos.

As company videos become more and more creative, people are finding that there are alternate uses to their corporate videos. Here are some different ways that you can use a company video.

Recruitment
