Video isn’t just a piece of your marketing strategy anymore—it is the strategy. In 2025, businesses that treat video as a central pillar of communication will outperform those that treat it as an add-on.
Here are the five key trends we’re seeing in video marketing this year—and how they can directly impact your brand strategy.
1. Internal Video is Becoming External-Grade
The old rule was: “Save the polished production for the public.” Not anymore.
In 2025, companies are investing in agency-quality internal videos—for onboarding, training, leadership messaging, and culture-building. Employees are now treated as an audience, not just recipients. The bar is higher, and so is the ROI.
đź“ť What this means for you:
Branded storytelling isn’t just for your customers—it’s for your team. A professionally crafted internal video can boost engagement, retention, and alignment.
2. Short-Form, High-Impact is the New Default
Under 60 seconds is no longer “just for TikTok.” It’s now the gold standard for both B2C and B2B content.
Whether you’re launching a new product, sharing quarterly results, or announcing an internal initiative, brevity wins. The challenge? Making it meaningful.
What this means for you:
Get to the point—and make it count. You’ll need sharp scripting, dynamic editing, and intentional storytelling to make short videos impactful.
3. AI-Powered Personalization at Scale
AI tools are now enabling companies to create personalized video messages at scale—from sales prospecting to employee recognition. In 2025, video is not just one-to-many—it’s one-to-one, faster than ever before.
đź“ť What this means for you:
Consider integrating personalized name drops, role-based messaging, or region-specific variations into your video strategy.
4. Silent, Subtitled, and Mobile-First
85% of corporate videos are watched on mobile—often without sound. In 2025, designing for muted playback isn’t optional. Captions, kinetic text, and visual storytelling are critical.
đź“ť What this means for you:
Make sure your videos communicate clearly even with the sound off. We recommend including subtitles by default and building for vertical formats.
5. Authenticity Beats Perfection
Slick is still good—but real is better. Audiences now respond more to genuine messaging, unscripted moments, and behind-the-scenes transparency than over-polished promos.
What this means for you:
Don’t just show your best face—show your true face. Especially for leadership videos, values-based storytelling, and recruitment content.
