Define your brand values<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>Your brand values<\/strong> embody the philosophy and essence of your company. They are the principles that motivate your actions, direct your decisions and <strong>give meaning to your marketing efforts<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>For example, if you&#8217;re promoting sustainability, this should be visible in your products, but also in your videos (with images of eco-friendly materials, for example).  <strong>A video without clear values? It&#8217;s like a movie without a script <\/strong>Everything and nothing happens at the same time, leaving the viewer confused and disappointed. In short, it doesn&#8217;t work if you want to connect with your subscribers. <\/p>\n\n<p>Before putting them into images, start by asking yourself a few questions:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What&#8217;s important to you?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What qualities do you want to pass on to your customers?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How do your daily actions reflect these values?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Centre d&#039;action B\u00e9n\u00e9vole - Pour La Clique\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/989587336?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Example of a video based on emotion and brand values.

Your audience should feel these values intuitively, without the need to name them directly. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use visual storytelling<\/h3>\n\n<p>Take a simple story that represents your values and turn it into a video. For example, if innovation is part of your DNA, show how your product or service is changing people&#8217;s lives. <\/p>\n\n<p>No need for blockbusters! The most important thing is to tell an authentic story that truly reflects your values. <\/p>\n\n<p>Here are some elements to include in a good narrative:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A main character who embodies your values (a customer, employee or founder).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A problem to solve: Show how your values help overcome an obstacle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An inspiring ending: End with a solution or transformation that reflects your principles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/machiavel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/structure-pour-storytelling-video-corpo-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"structure for storytelling video corpo\" class=\"wp-image-19070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/machiavel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/structure-pour-storytelling-video-corpo-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/machiavel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/structure-pour-storytelling-video-corpo-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/machiavel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/structure-pour-storytelling-video-corpo-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Example: For a company that values innovation, the story of an entrepreneur using your products to solve a complex problem will be more powerful than a simple product presentation.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>To find out more about storytelling, check out our article on <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/machiavel.com\/en\/corporate-video-storytelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Video Storytelling for Business<\/a> to discover how to create stories that captivate and engage your audience.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Take care of the visual elements<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>Every color, every image, every detail must communicate your values.<\/strong>  Visual elements must be chosen to arouse the emotions associated with your solution.<\/p>\n\n<p>For a brand that values trust, cool colors like blue are a great choice. For sustainability, use images of nature, reused materials and recycling scenes. <\/p>\n\n<p>Basically, every visual is an opportunity to reinforce your values. Nothing should be left to chance. <\/p>\n\n<p>Practical tips for visuals :<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Colors: Associate each value with a color (e.g. green for sustainability, blue for confidence).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visual symbols: Use icons or objects that represent your values (e.g. solar panels for ecology).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consistency: Make sure that the visual elements of your video are aligned with those of your website or other communication media.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Example: If your company focuses on ecology, visuals showing natural landscapes or recycled materials reinforce this message.<\/p>\n\n<p>For more inspiration, check out our article <a href=\"https:\/\/machiavel.com\/en\/what-to-include-in-video-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What to include in your video design.<\/a> You&#8217;ll find tips on how to reinforce your values through specific visual elements.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Show authentic testimonials<\/h3>\n\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing like a<strong> real testimonial<\/strong> to prove that you live your values. Highlight the experiences of your customers or employees who have benefited from your products or services. <\/p>\n\n<p>If self-help is a key value of your brand, illustrate it with concrete examples where you&#8217;ve made a real difference.  <strong>It&#8217;s super simple, but it works!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>How to structure a good testimonial :<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Context:<\/strong> Explain the initial situation (the customer&#8217;s problem or need).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Action:<\/strong> Detail how your products\/values provided a solution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Result <\/strong>: Show the change or positive impact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Authenticity:<\/strong> Use spontaneous, realistic testimonials, without overly perfect scripts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"DNE Ressources - Recruitement &amp; Onboarding Video\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1002521397?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Example of a video featuring testimonials from satisfied employees!
