Corporate Marketing Videos

A marketing video shares the excitement of a new product or company. It can give prospective customers an overview of what your firm does and what distinguishes you from the competition. The video can be used as a presentation to customers, investors, new employees, incorporated into sales presentations, shown at trade shows or placed as streaming media on your Website.

Video News Release (VNR)

A video news release is designed to tell your story in the format of a television news story. A VNR is written, shot and edited into a story under two minutes in length, then provided to television stations. These stories must be timely, eye-catching and of interest to the general public.

Event Videos

A video is an effective way to honor someone through a compelling profile for sharing with the audience at a major event. If you are launching a campaign, there is no better way to tell your organization's story than through the words and images of those whose lives have been transformed by your organization.

Video Testimonials

Video testimonials are far more personal and persuasive than simple written quotes and are a terrific way to leverage your customers' feedback, show how your products or services are used in real-world applications and successfully demonstrate the value of doing business with your firm. The Wingate Group can produce testimonial videos that can be embedded on your website or produced to DVD/CD/VHS.
