Let’s face it — company culture used to be all about perks like free coffee and Casual Fridays. But today, it’s something much deeper. Company culture reflects who you are as a brand — what sets you apart to employees, customers, and partners alike. 

And when it comes to sharing that identity with the world, few tools are more powerful than video. 

Why Company Culture Deserves the Spotlight 

Company culture isn’t a buzzword — it’s the reason people apply to your jobs, stick around once they’re hired, and rave about you on LinkedIn. It’s the behind-the-scenes magic that shapes your reputation. 

But culture isn’t something you can fake. (We see you, stock-photo “team meetings.”) It’s real, messy, human — and deeply powerful when you show it authentically. 

Video gives you the ability to invite people in. Instead of telling them you have a fun, supportive, innovative team, you can actually show them. And spoiler alert: people believe what they see a lot more than what they read in your About Us section. 

Lights, Camera, Authenticity! 

So how do you capture company culture on video without it feeling like a middle school group project? Here are a few golden rules:

1) Focus on Real People, Not Scripts
Perfectly memorized lines sound… well, fake. What makes a culture video sing is real people being themselves. Encourage candid conversations, natural laughter, and those small, quirky moments that make your team who they are. 

Want to show your team’s collaborative spirit? Film a brainstorming session where the whiteboard markers are flying, and the coffee cups are stacked dangerously high.

2) Show, Don’t Tell: Instead of someone saying, “We have a fun office!” — show a slow-motion montage of your annual Mario Kart tournament or the office happy hour. 

Video lets you tell micro-stories: the birthday cake surprise, the heated (but friendly) chili cook-off debates, the impromptu ping-pong championships. These little moments build a much bigger picture.

3) Mix Up the Formats: Not every culture video needs to be a mini-documentary. Some of the most engaging formats are quick and casual: 

• • Employee spotlights – 60-second videos highlighting different team members
  • Day-in-the-life videos – A peek into what it’s like to work at your company
  • Behind-the-scenes reels – A fun look at what goes into making your product or service happen
  • Office tours – Showcase your workspace with an MTV Cribs-worthy walk-through (if your office has a secret snack closet, even better!) 

 Short-form content, especially for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn, can pack a punch while keeping things fresh and scroll-stopping. 

4) Keep It Real (But Polished): Nobody expects your office tour to have Oscar-winning cinematography (unless that’s your thing). But basic polish goes a long way: clean audio, decent lighting, and a little editing magic to keep things moving at a good pace. 

Think authentic, not amateur. Hiring a professional video marketing agency (cough, hi, that’s us!) helps you strike the right balance between “genuine” and “wow, that looks amazing.” 

The Payoff: Stronger Brands, Happier Teams 

A great culture video does more than just look good on your website. It builds trust. It attracts people who align with your values. It gives customers a reason to root for you — and stay loyal. 

And internally? Nothing boosts morale quite like seeing your team’s unique vibe celebrated and shared with the world. It’s a reminder that they’re part of something special. 

 Take one of our clients, Maxio, as an example – this video example below is an oldie but a goodie! We had such a great time visiting their offices and creating this content for them. We felt fully immersed in their “HYPE” culture during our visit and were inspired by their comradery together. (Watch the video below to hear about what that term means from their employees directly!) 

Final Cut: Let Your Culture Shine

In a world where authenticity wins and transparency is expected, showcasing your company culture through video isn’t just a “nice to have” — it’s a competitive advantage.  

Ready to roll? Whether you’re a startup with a dog-friendly office and kombucha on tap, or a powerhouse corporation with a heart of gold — your culture deserves to be seen and celebrated.
