Social Videos
Social Videos are designed for social platforms (eg. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn). They typically run under 30 seconds in length and have one main goal: engagement. This doesn't lend itself to complex storytelling, so Social Videos are typically "snackable" pieces of content, sometimes loopable since that's how most platforms play them. Every social video aims to drive an action such as shares, comments, likes or visits to a website. Since social media is so targeted, Social Videos are crafted to be entertaining for their specific target audience. The aspect ratio and other specs of a Social Video can vary widely and should be optimized for the platform it's meant for.

The typical branded online video (also known as an "OLV") is developed specifically for online distribution through O&O channels ("Owned & Operated", such as your website) or purchased media (such as pre-roll videos on YouTube). Think of OLV's as a TV commercial that only lives online. You've likely seen them before many times on websites or as pre-roll on that YouTube video that you clicked on. They are typically more of a hard-sell campaign aimed at a targeted audience.

Animation is any type of dynamic content that gives the illusion of lifelike motion. This includes 2D cell animation, 3D CG animation and stop-motion animation. It is often used for entertainment rather than being thought of as a marketing tool, therefore it has the ability to capture the viewers' attention more effectively than live-action. It's a great tool when realism and accuracy aren't a priority, giving brands the freedom to be fun, imaginative and creative, thus leaving a memorable impression. This is one reason it's well-suited for content that is geared towards children. Animation is a great way to show off your brand personality and is also a good solution to keeping to your content fresh - if you want to adapt your video content with new messaging, animation is much easier and more cost-effective to edit rather than shooting a new video.

Broadcast Commercials
Broadcast commercials are built for large audiences to broaden the reach of their messaging and to gain or maintain brand awareness. They are typically live-action narrative video but can also include animation and/or visual effects. The most common commercial length is 30 seconds, but 15 and 60 seconds are also very popular. A TV commercial is useless without an audience to see it and the cost to air a commercial, often called the "media buy," can be quite high and can vary significantly depending on details like whether it airs on cable vs broadcast networks, the time of day, the geographic reach and more. The cost to run it on cable during prime-time is going to be significantly higher than running it on local TV during the day. The most coveted slots, such as the Super Bowl, can cost upwards of millions of dollars for a 30 second ad.

Brand Films
Brand films are designed to entertain. The word "film" in brand film is no mistake, as the plot-driven entertainment aspect of a film is exactly what they strive to achieve.

Brand films are designed to create an emotional connection with the viewer that leaves a lasting impression and is more enjoyable to watch than a hard-sell commercial. They can be either narrative or documentary and typically have a very high production value, running anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes in length.

AR/VR
"VR" stands for "Virtual Reality" and is a computer-generated and fully-immersive environment which requires the use of a headset.
"AR" stands for "Augmented Reality." It is a type of virtual reality wherein computer-generated graphics are overlaid onto real world video.
AR is the more common of the two for marketing purposes because of its lower barrier to entry for brands. It is also more accessible for consumers since it doesn't require a headset. It's often used to showcase products, giving consumers the ability to "try it out" before purchasing which helps reduce product returns. Some industries that have had success using it: furniture, makeup, eyewear, shoe companies.

Consistently beautiful photography creates brand recognition.

Corporate photography used in branding involves images that will appear on websites, in brochures, and most importantly on social media. These images include on-location photographs or headshots of the company leaders, team photos, images of the office environment of the company, images of products and/or services, and even corporate events or meetings, of which the latter can be uploaded to Twitter and Facebook in real time or used in later publicity endeavours.

Instructional/Demo Videos
An instructional video is any video that demonstrates a process, transfers knowledge, explains a concept, or shows someone how to do something. They can range in length from a minute long to a half hour or more and can be singularly-focused on one subject matter, like a tutorial video, or they can be a series of training videos on a variety of subjects.
Tutorial videos are great for teaching a process by providing step-by-step instructions. Sometimes also referred to as "how-to" videos or "demo" videos, they are typically somewhere between two and ten minutes long. They can take multiple forms, ranging from a simple digital recording of a computer screen with audio narration - often called a "screencast" - to more complex productions involving a crew.
Training videos are often designed to improve an employee’s workplace skills. Companies often create online training videos to cover interpersonal topics, such as compliance and harassment training, or job-related topics, such as hardware and software training. Training videos often use footage of real people to connect the trainer and trainee. These can be interactive videos and often fit in among a larger training course.
Another form of Instructional Video is a presentation or lecture video. These are often used to make something available for people to watch after the fact and can be as simple as recording a presentation or as advanced as recording a Powerpoint presentation and/or incorporating real-time or post-produced graphics.
