At the same time those messages can be presented in a really informal way, so that it doesn’t appear overly promotional.

There is invariably an element of entertainment at most events which you can include as part of the video. This way you are not only educating your audience, but you also entertain them with the footage that you capture.

#5 Leverage Other Brands

You can use your video as a branding exercise. Get lots of brand names in there, and not just your own. Show the world with which great brands you are working, put them in the video and then put that event video out on YouTube.

#6 Position Your Company In The Market

You can use it as a positioning exercise, the video can say that your company is young, fresh, cool and funky. An event video is a great way of saying “look at the type of events that we put on, aren’t they awesome”.

“Look at the event that you came to, and wasn’t it brilliant. Here are the highlights, I hope you had a really good time.”

Or you can use it to send to clients who didn’t turn up to the event and say;

“Hi, look what you’ve missed it was awesome, but you are still getting the key messages out of it.”

#9 Highlight Your Company Sponsorship

You can highlight your companies’ sponsorship of a certain event through a video as well. The event video can sit on your YouTube channel, which really underlines the association between your brand and the event that you sponsored.

#10 Provide A Platform To Explain Your Vision
