The Two Videos Every Business Needs From a Boston Based Video Production Company
Boston is one of the most competitive business landscapes in the country - full of tech innovators, hospitals, universities, small businesses, startups, nonprofits, and everything in between. And no matter what industry you're in, video has become the single most effective way to communicate your story, build trust, and stand out.
But here’s the good news:
You don’t need every type of video under the sun.
In fact, after years of producing content for clients across Massachusetts, we’ve learned that there are two essential videos every Boston business should invest in - the two that deliver the biggest impact with the longest lifespan.
If you build your video strategy around these, everything else becomes easier, more effective, and more aligned with your brand.
Let’s break them down.
1. The Brand Video (Your Business Story, Told Beautifully)
A brand video is the cornerstone of your marketing. It’s the first impression. The anchor. The one video that captures the heart of who you are and why your work matters.
If someone lands on your website, this is the moment that either builds connection - or loses it.
A great brand video should:
tell your story in an emotional, human way
highlight what makes your company unique
show your team, your culture, and your environment
communicate your values
build trust immediately
feel cinematic and intentional
This isn’t a promotional video.
This isn’t a sales pitch.
This is your identity — shown through visuals, interviews, pacing, and tone.
At Bunker Hill Media, this is where our journalism and storytelling background comes through. We guide the conversation so nothing feels scripted, stiff, or generic. We want honesty, authenticity, and clarity. We want your personality. We want the “why” behind what you do.
A strong brand video becomes your:
homepage hero
About Us centerpiece
recruiting tool
investor deck asset
LinkedIn highlight
general “this is us” introduction
If you only ever invest in one video, let it be this one.
2. The Testimonial Video (Let Your Clients Do the Talking)
In a city like Boston, trust matters more than anything.
People want proof. They want real experiences. They want to hear from someone who has already been in their shoes.
That’s why testimonial videos are so powerful.
A great testimonial video should:
feel honest and unscripted
showcase real clients or partners
highlight results and outcomes
answer common objections
build instant credibility
make your future customers feel safe choosing you
The difference between an okay testimonial and a powerful one usually comes down to:
great interview direction
clean, flattering lighting
professional audio
beautiful b-roll layered throughout
strong pacing and editing
At Bunker Hill Media, we never ask people to memorize lines. Instead, we guide them through a natural, conversational interview where they forget the camera is even there. That’s how you get authentic, trustworthy content that actually converts.
One strong testimonial video can outperform dozens of written reviews — especially for professional services, healthcare, finance, tech, construction, education, and nonprofit work.
Why These Two Videos Work So Well Together
These videos complement each other perfectly:
Your brand video shows who you are.
Your testimonial video proves that what you say is true.
One builds connection.
The other builds trust.
Together, they create a complete story — one that resonates with Boston audiences who value expertise, authenticity, and real results.
Final Thoughts: You Don’t Need 20 Videos — You Need the Right Two
If you're starting or refreshing your marketing in 2025, don’t overwhelm yourself with content for every platform.
Start with these two foundational videos:
Your Brand Story
Your Client Testimonial
Everything else — social clips, recruitment videos, explainers, event recaps — can come later, built on the strength of this core content.
If you’re ready to bring these videos to life, we’d love to help shape your story.
