Why Every Company Needs a Corporate Sizzle Reel in 2024
Sizzle reels are a simple way to showcase your company and a key part of corporate video production. A corporate sizzle reel is used to communicate selling points to investors, stakeholders, clients, and other targeted audiences. They show the world your work and accomplishments through an engaging and inspiring video. Generally, they’re 3 to 5 minutes long, though they can be shorter in length. By using audio, visuals, and targeted messaging, these promotional videos allow your company to get the recognition you deserve!

Sizzle reels can be used just about everywhere. Sales meetings, SEO, social media, blogs, trade shows – the mediums you can implement promo videos are endless. And when beginning your project, the first questions to answer with your production team are “Who is the audience?” and “Where will this demo be shown?”
Considering the answers to these questions, as well as your business objectives, will result in a unique sizzle reel fit with one goal in mind: fostering your company’s success!
Sizzle Reel Video Production
Since sizzle reel video production is used to promote your company’s successes, producers will first determine the goal of your video. This is done in order to create the perfect message for your business needs. After creating an outline of your project, your production can begin!
With location scouting and drafting in the sizzle reel pre-production stage, the production stage is where the magic will happen. A video crew of Cameramen, production engineers, and other technicians will capture the footage needed to make your company look like a hero. Afterward, in the sizzle reel post-production stage, editors will touch-up and render your video before preparing it for distribution.
