Brand Videos NYC

Crafted is an NYC-based Digital Design Agency that creates beautiful Brand Videos that leave a lasting impact on your target audience’s mind.

Brand videos can play an important role in spelling consumer behavior by clicking with the end-consumer’s self-image. Through a masterfully-crafted video, you can communicate your brand’s ideas and thoughts to your end consumer and help them connect with your idea, thus creating a strong brand recall.

Data has shown that about 46 percent of consumers have actually purchased a product after seeing its brand video, and about 32 percent have considered making a purchase. Brand videos make for an excellent tool to increase brand awareness and reach, especially given the wide exposure people nowadays have to social media platforms.

A brand video that clicks with the audience has the ability to be shared and even go viral making the brand an overnight success. However, to make this happen, your brand video needs to be crafted with finesse. It should tell a story that speaks to your end consumer. It should appeal to their emotions in a way that makes them feel connected to your brand and finally, make it a part of their life.

Help your Brand ‘show’ to your consumers the value you see in it

It is always easier for people to believe and understand things that they ‘see’ better than what they have read. It also helps imprint a lasting memory in their minds rather than a piece that has been simply verbally communicated to them. A video that tells a story speaks to your consumers by transporting them to the world you are ‘showing’ them. It works much like a live demonstration, but instead, you have the power to craft your brand video as an experience and an emotion, rather than a technical demonstration or advertisement of your product.

The present and the future of brand videos

With the use of social media on the rise, brand videos are increasingly making their way into people’s lives and becoming an important decision-making factor that helps them decide if they want to invest in your brand. Studies show that about 193 million people in the US alone, watch one online video at least, in one month. This number shows the immense scope that awaits brand videos and how companies can wield the power of this potent tool to expand their customer base and business.

Creating the perfect Brand Videos needs expertise

Where there is scope, there is competition. Given the increasing demand for brand videos in the market, the continuous churning out of videos has diluted its impact. The only way to battle this dilution and competition from rival brands is by creating videos which leave a lasting impact and have the power to go viral.

Still pondering if you need a brand video?

The world is seeing a surge in content, all sorts of content. Consider this:

  • Nearly, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every day.
  • Currently, 3.7 billion people use the internet
  • Approximately, 4,146,600 YouTube videos are watched every minute.
  • These are just a few statistical bytes of the very many available which go on to show the power of content and how it has taken over, not only the internet but also the lives of the internet users, across the world.

    More companies are turning their long-form content to smaller 30-second videos to help make their content offering more attractive to their end consumers, while not diluting the message they had in first place. Accompanying long-form content with brand videos, provide your target audience with the liberty to choose which form of content they want to consume. Your brand video is an excellent way to attract them to your landing page, your offline store, your social media page, or to whichever location you want to drive traffic to.

    Popular brand videos like Volvo’s “Moments,” Apple’s “Animoji Yourself” which have enjoyed millions of views followed by a strong brand recall and a subsequent spike in sales, is something your brand deserves, as well.

    Your brand has a story, a thought, a compelling idea, which needs to be communicated to your end consumers in a way you see it and make them believe that they can benefit from your brand, as well.

    We pride ourselves on artistic integrity in everything we create

    Crafted was established in 2011 by Peter Mendez and Greg Valvano. The partners had previously worked in the large advertising agency world as Creative Directors, handling fully integrated campaigns for clients such as BMW, Nike, NFL and Visa.

    We caught up with Valvano to talk about his views on the industry and how he works.
    Father of twin daughters, Valvano is a music and art lover, who, when it comes to creativity, puts its trusts fully on intuition. “Creativity is being able to do what your mind tells you, without thinking twice about it. You’ve gotta trust your gut and give it a shot, regardless of what others may think,” he says.

    Since launch, Crafted has grown to establish itself as a successful, full-service digital shop. With an extremely talented and experienced core creative team, Crafted continues to work with the industry’s long-established brands, as well as some really promising startups on the rise.

    Can you describe your agency in three words?

    Quality. Experienced. Different.

    How did you get started in the industry?

    I actually majored in both 3D and photography during my college years. I always saw myself working for an animation studio but then I realized I could create really compelling digital experiences through a blend of each artistic skill that I’ve acquired in my life. My backgrounds in 3D modeling, lighting and traditional painting still play a large role in what we create every day at Crafted.

    Are there online publications, professionals, industry leaders you follow?

    I draw a lot of my inspiration from all types of artists but music is really my greatest outlet for creativity. Although I enjoy some relaxing mood setters from time to time, my roots are honestly in the Indie/Punk rock scene. There’s just something about that genre that appeals to me. Maybe it’s the honesty and energy involved, or just the concept of “thinking for yourself” that truly inspires me.

    Which cities outside where you live interest you creatively?

    Outside of NYC, Palo Alto is an obvious one. San Francisco is another creative, free thinking city where art thrives. Having spent so much time on the east coast, the west side coastline has always been appealing to me.

    Please list a few of your favorite digital brands:

    I always enjoyed working on Nike and BMW. Those brands really push the limits and allow their creative teams to explore emerging technology and the unique cultures within their brand’s history.

    What do you like doing in your free time?

    When I’m not enjoying my time at home with my beautiful, two-year-old twin daughters, I also like to get out for the occasional run or pick up the guitar for a few minutes of some downtime. Basically, anything to clear my mind from the daily grind.

    How do you work out your design taking into account your target audience or users?

    Before we create a User Interface, we always work to establish an Art Direction. This allows us to create the visual language that aligns with our audience and the brand’s personality. Being able to produce the right visual feel is essential in building out a compelling, yet simple UI that’s universally understood.

    If you can build an authentic relationship with your viewers/visitors, you’ve created a successful marketing experience on both sides of the spectrum.

    Which web tools you use?

    For starters, we couldn’t live without PhotoShop. It all begins there. When it comes to prototyping, we usually run everything through the InVision platform to get a feel for the overall User experience before we start coding.

    Can you tell us about a project you worked on and that was especially successful?

    We just recently wrapped up the launch of MusicFolio, a revolutionary sheet music authoring iPad app. We went through an extensive UX exploration before nailing down a seamless, cloud-based workflow for casual and professional musicians. Everyone was really happy with how it all turned out.

     

    How do you imagine the UX concept to work in the future?

    I think the prototyping aspect will continue to become a larger part of the UX process. It’s all about how a new User reacts to a product the first time. There’s nothing more substantial than first-hand feedback from someone physically finding their way around the product you’ve just built from scratch.

    How do you organise your team and their tasks to guarantee quality assurance (QA)?

    We have a pretty solid process from start to finish. Each phase of the project receives undivided attention and focus from the respective team members, assuring that we hit all of our marks, while allowing time for our team to push the limits and try new things. Along the way, there’s constant communication between team members and the client. It’s always an ongoing conversation that can pivot at any moment to make sure we’re getting the best results possible.

    Name a challenge your team is currently facing.

    Lots of work, ha. We’re always keeping busy but we’re constantly on top of it all. It just means a few extra hours here and there but we never let the quality of the work become compromised. We pride ourselves on artistic integrity in everything we create.

    What piece of advice would you give a recent grad looking to work in digital marketing?

    Don’t worry about impressing others. Do what you love and the success will come with it. If you fail, keep trying until you get it. In the famous words of the painter, art instructor and TV host, Mr. Bob Ross, “Talent is a pursued interest. Anything that you’re willing to practice, you can do.”
