SECONDARY
OUTPUT CAN BE
VERY VALUABLE FOR INTERNAL AUDIENCES

Creating a corporate video for your target audience is obviously your primary goal, but you can achieve that and more in the right circumstances. Capturing the behind-the-scenes action can be a valuable exercise which can help support your primary goal or meet a secondary one.

The chance to take advantage of this opportunity varies enormously, depending on the type of production and the nature of the shoot to name but a few. When it is possible however, such secondary output can be very valuable for internal audiences. If you have staff scattered over a number of locations not everyone can be part of the action, so sharing behind-the-scenes stories and bloopers is a great way of making people within the

organisation aware of what has happened. It’s also a way to help them feel involved and have some ownership of the primary story.

Behind-the-scenes action could also be used to engage with external audiences. If the film showcases a groundbreaking new product, an interesting technique or has a celebrity attached to it, for example, a behind-the-scenes film can provide a valuable engagement opportunity for your social media contacts. It can build loyalty and give your audiences a better understanding of your organisation, your values or your brand.
