10 creative and easy-to-follow video ideas
1 A day in the life of an employee
Show your human side! Offer a glimpse of what goes on in your company every day. Capture moments of office life, laughter, the little challenges of the day and show the passionate people who keep your company going!
Film as if it were a "mini-series" with an introduction (e.g. arrival at the office), a highlight (e.g. a team meeting for a project in action), and a conclusion (e.g. what was accomplished today? What are your short-term goals?) Add a "voiceover" of a dynamic colleague recounting the key moments to add a touch of immersion.
2 Founder's Stories
People love to hear about founders' journeys, especially when the story is personal and inspiring. Share what inspired you to start your business, the obstacles you overcame and the values that still motivate you today. By sharing your story, you create a unique connection with your subscribers.
Add archive photos, videos of your beginnings, or sketches on a whiteboard to illustrate the early stages of your business. By alternating between past and present, you can show the evolution of your project, and include your audience in the evolution of your business.
3.mini-tutorials
Share quick and effective tips that demonstrate your expertise. It could be an industry secret or a practical tip on how to use your product better. Simple, brief, easy-to-follow videos are perfect for giving added value to those who follow you. By the way, this format is perfect for TikTok and/or Instagram!
For a successful mini-tutorial, place catchy titles on your video to introduce each tip, and add zooms or slow motion to emphasize important steps.
4.showcase your star products
Share a "top 3" of your favorite products, services or features! It's an engaging way to showcase several aspects of your offering in one dynamic video, while introducing a product or service your subscribers may not have tried yet!
Use eye-catching visuals, a quick transition between each one, and include a little explanatory text for each product/service. Finally, conclude with a call to action to encourage exploration.
5 A "Before/After" look at the impact of your work
Show a "before and after" of your work to demonstrate concretely the impact of your services or products. Whether it's the transformation of a space or the result of a completed project, these videos visually illustrate the value you bring.
Use a striking transition effect to move from "before" to "after", such as a fade or color change. This amplifies the transformation effect and makes a stronger visual impact.
6.video case studies
A video case study is ideal for highlighting how you helped a customer achieve their goals. Talk about the challenges they faced and explain how your product or service made a difference. This format inspires and demonstrates the relevance of your offer.
Film in the form of a mini-documentary, with footage of the client company and excerpts from testimonials. Use graphics to show concrete results or progress. To find out more about this video format, visit our guide to creating a customer testimonial.
7.videos FAQ
Answer your audience's most frequently asked questions, directly in front of the camera. This format is practical, direct and reassuring for potential customers, as it creates a transparent, personal approach.

8.express videos for social networks
Short, quick videos are ideal for capturing attention in a matter of seconds. A bit like mini-tutorials and FAQ videos, you want to quickly help your audience by answering a specific question! Take inspiration from conversations with your customers, for express content ideas that will attract your target audience.
Get straight to the point! Use dynamic text effects and upbeat music to maximize impact in seconds. Finish with a clear call to action.
9 Team "Challenge" videos
Organize a team challenge to show the fun and dynamic side of your company. This format allows you to share an authentic facet of your corporate culture, connecting with your audience in a playful way, while increasing engagement on social networks.
Film each team or participant in "competition" mode. Add time counters, live reactions, or even applause and sound effects for added conviviality.
10.customer-generated content videos
Encourage your customers to share their own experience with your product, by inviting them to use a dedicated hashtag. Sharing their creations on your social networks shows that you value their loyalty and create an engaged community.
