What

Are Internal Communication Videos?

Internal communication videos are strategic and message-oriented media tailored for the internal audience of the organization. Unlike marketing videos created for external purposes, internal communication videos emphasize clarity and authentic content more than brand building. These media have a special goal of increasing awareness among employees by helping them understand certain policies, acquisitions, or the vision of the leadership.

Internal communication videos are the media through which information is delivered, requiring emotional involvement or a behavior change. In case of a need to deliver a message regarding the restructuring affecting 5,000 employees, updating the priorities on the organizational level, or launching a change initiative, simple text emails or town hall meetings cannot be the means to use.

Video fills that gap. It delivers tone, accountability, and human connection in a format that employees can revisit, share, and internalize without the overhead of scheduling global synchronous meetings.

What Makes Internal Communications Videos Work

Communication that creates trust and alignment should be the goal, rather than just delivering information in internal communications. And the way that happens isn't difficult to understand.

If you make an internal communications video that tries to include all of the updates from the company, you are doing nothing. We design the core messages ahead of time to ensure each scene is focused and employees do not get bogged down in excess information.

It is the clarity of the message that makes all the difference. Set up the context, set up the change, set up the call to action. Get the order backwards and leave employees wondering what they are supposed to do.

Internal communications videos are often consumed in the midst of workdays. The core message and visual messaging must come across without sound, or else the employee who watches quietly is lost.

The same core message must be delivered in two very different ways for an executive town hall recap versus a Slack policy update. We determine the format before production begins.

How an Explainer Video CompanyApproaches Internal Communications

A successful internal video does not start with fancy visuals; it starts with driving clarity and alignment.

What do you need to communicate? Where’s the friction in current communication between employees? What message do you want them to understand within four seconds instead of having them sort through the email chain? That’s what makes sure that the final video engages your team.

As an agency making videos for internal communications, we strike the balance between strategic messaging and visual execution. We approach every internal communications project with this framework:

STEP 01: STRATEGY & MESSAGE ALIGNMENT

The internal audience is identified, along with the required actions and any obstacles that may exist, as well as the way in which alignment will be measured. Prior to any development being done, you receive an outline of the message. If it's not appropriate for you to use video to make an announcement, we tell you.

STEP 02: SCRIPTING, FORMAT, & FIXED PRICING

Scripts, visual direction, and format determination occur concurrently to make sure the pacing is appropriate for a hectic work schedule. The end result of this process is that you will approve the scripts, style boards, and fixed price per minute. Nothing moves into production without the approval of your team.

STEP 03: PRODUCTION, REVISIONS, & ROLLOUT

Storyboarding, animation, or filming in live action, voice-over, and captioning are put together in the course of your revisions. You will get finalized files tailored for all your internal platforms, from Slack to corporate intranet, along with an account manager guiding you through feedback.

Benefits of Internal Communications Videos for Your Organization

Improve Employee Understanding & Retention

An important message sent through video is remembered twice as often as if it were sent only by e-mail. It is recalled not only on the day of its receipt but even after several weeks, when your employees will be putting into practice your instructions and decisions.

Reduce Anxiety During Transitions

Uncertainty creates rumor mills. When leadership is silent, employees fill the gap with speculation, often worse than reality. A direct, transparent video from leadership reduces anxiety and combats misinformation.

Build Leadership Credibility

Employees do not only consider what their leader says, but also how the message is delivered. A leader who takes his/her time to document the message shows accountability and transparency, something that cannot be done through written text announcements.

Enable Cascading Communication

When the managers want to get the message cascaded down to their team members, they have the source video that they can use for reference and discussion.
