Examples

Principles

  • Is a highly technical video that explains maintenance or advanced functionality of a product

  • Is provided before the point of purchase

  • Is functional and technical

  • Can be longer (easily 2-4 minutes)

  • Emphasis should be given on proper explanation, length is not a factor

  • Can be product-neutral (or at least colour-agnostic) if the demonstrated functionality is applicable to multiple products

  • Follows a common structure to ensure better legibility for the consumer. This increases brand recognition and attribution. 

  • The video starts with an intro, followed by the body of the video which is used to communicate the main message, and ends with our logo and brand promise accompanied by our sound logo. 

​

Individual building blocks of the video are described in greater detail in the following subchapters.
