The 5 Essential Videos Every Brand Needs in 2025

Joey Raymundo · 3 min read

Listen, if you’re running a business in 2025 and you don’t have video in your marketing strategy, you’re basically leaving money on the table. Period. Video is the most powerful tool for brand awareness, customer trust, and—most importantly—converting leads into paying customers. Don’t believe me? Studies show that 95% of marketers say video has helped them increase brand understanding, and 87% say it drives sales (Wyzowl, 2024).

But here’s the deal—not all videos are created equal. You don’t need to blow your budget on random content. Instead, focus on these five high-impact videos that will make your brand unforgettable and drive revenue in 2025.

1. The “About Us” Story Video – Because People Buy from People

Your audience doesn’t just want to know what you sell. They want to know who you are. In a world where authenticity is everything, your About Us video is your chance to connect with potential customers on a human level.

🔹 Why it works: Brands with a strong story generate 22x more engagement than those without (Forbes, 2024).

🔹 What to include: Show your mission, your team, and what makes your business unique. Let people see the passion behind your brand.

🔹 Pro tip: Keep it under 2 minutes, use real people (not just stock footage), and focus on emotions.

2. Product or Service Demo – Sell Without Selling

People want to see what they’re getting before they buy. A well-crafted product demo video does the selling for you by showing your product in action.

🔹 Why it works: 73% of consumers say they are more likely to purchase after watching a video about a product (HubSpot, 2024).

🔹 What to include: A clear, engaging walkthrough of your product/service, showing the key benefits and solving customer pain points.

🔹 Pro tip: Make it short, engaging, and easy to follow. Focus on benefits over features.

3. Customer Testimonial – The Ultimate Trust Booster

Nothing sells better than real customers vouching for your product. A testimonial video is like word-of-mouth marketing on steroids.

🔹 Why it works: 88% of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations (BrightLocal, 2024).

🔹 What to include: Real customers explaining their problem, how your business solved it, and the results they experienced.

🔹 Pro tip: Keep it authentic. Overproduced testimonials feel fake. Let customers speak in their own words.

4. Behind-the-Scenes (BTS) – Build a Tribe, Not Just a Customer Base

People don’t just buy from brands; they buy into communities. A BTS video gives customers an insider look at how you operate, making them feel part of your journey.

🔹 Why it works: 82% of consumers feel more positive about a brand after consuming behind-the-scenes content (Sprout Social, 2024).

🔹 What to include: Your creative process, a day in the life at your company, or fun moments with your team.

🔹 Pro tip: Keep it raw and real—show your personality, don’t just try to be “perfect.”

5. Educational/How-To Video – Become the Go-To Expert

Want to dominate your niche? Start teaching. When you educate your audience, you build authority and trust—two things that lead to more sales.

🔹 Why it works: 96% of people watch explainer videos to learn more about a product or service (Wyzowl, 2024).

🔹 What to include: Answer common customer questions, provide quick tutorials, or share industry insights.

🔹 Pro tip: Make it actionable—don’t just talk, show step-by-step solutions.
