Commercial Video Production (Steps and Best Practices)

Follow these simple steps when pursing Commercial Video Production Services.

Step two: Define the audience, platform and Product/Service Needs

Let the company know who your target buyer is. The company will then make recommendations on platform, type of actors you need and format.


Step Three: Refine the script and choose the cast 

A proper company will have video SEO in mind when writing the script, as best practices include keeping video seo in mind at all times. Google reads more than just hashtags and descriptions. On videos where there are closed captions, those captions also factor into who your video is shown to in search results and on social media feeds.


Your script should be written for your target demographic in a tone appropriate to that product. If you are a business you dont want a surfer telling people how to trade stocks. While it might seem charming, remember trust is built by meeting your audience where they are at, and messaging always comes first and should always inform the creative approach.

Step three: The video is shot and delivered

Most product companies turn ads around in four to eight weeks, depending on how complex the shoot is and how quickly you can approve actors and screenplay. Most companies offer two free revision rounds. Brainiac video production also offers optimization included, to help you advertisement or organic social video reach the right people, easier.


Step four: Video Distribution

While your video production company will upload and optimize the videos for YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, paid media placements are a seperate thing. Google Ads now offers reps to help you navigate purchasing ad placements, and there are a variety of Media Buying Agencies that can help you navigate the best rates and strtategies for Progamatic and Social Media advertising. Avoid small companies who claim to do everything. Use the best video production company for making the ad and distributing it on social platforms, and then choose a fantastic media buyer for deciding where the advertisement will play.
