Core Values Video Examples: 29 Values Shown on Screen

Introduction

A core value only counts when it's on screen

Most core values videos end on the same five words. Integrity. Innovation. Customer first. Teamwork. Excellence.

Your buyer has read all five on every vendor's About page. CultureMonkey's guide to core values at work lists over 75 examples. A word any company can pick proves nothing in a deal.

So the values that land aren't said. They're shown, in a scene your buyer can check. And the best place to find those scenes isn't a culture film. It's the product video.

The short answer: the core values videos that work prove one value with one scene. Ripple Map proves responsibility by showing who gains past the buyer. Wish List proves a customer-first value by putting the customer's ask on screen. Daylight proves integrity by showing what most brands hide. Spare Hour proves respect for people by showing the hours handed back. The 29 videos below are grouped by the value they prove.

Core Values Video examples

Value 1 · Ripple Map

If your value is responsibility, show who else gains when the buyer says yes.

A fair-trade label on a bag of coffee tells you the farmer got paid too. Your buyer's procurement and compliance teams read your values the same way: who else does this deal reach?

I call it the Ripple Map: the people, places or rules past the buyer that your product touches, drawn on screen. Seven examples.

FSC EUDR certification video

FSC's video introduces its aligned certification for the EU Deforestation Regulation, or EUDR. It frames certification as the stepping stone to compliance and to a deforestation-free future.

What works here:

  • The hard part gets drawn. Animated flow diagrams and a magnifying glass walk through due diligence and the geolocation details the regulation asks for.
  • The value has a mechanism behind it: a specialized regulatory module and a risk assessment framework.
  • The close widens the circle. Businesses are invited to join FSC in protecting forests.

The move: Name who outside the deal benefits when your buyer says yes, and show them on screen. If the only winner is the buyer's budget, the value isn't visible yet.

Enel Green Power energy certificates video

Enel Green Power's explainer shows how renewable energy certificates, or RECs, let businesses and consumers back up a clean energy claim. Isometric 3D turns the grid into something you can follow.

What works here:

  • Glowing green pathways trace clean power through a mixed-source grid. The claim becomes traceable.
  • RECs are framed as the currency of the renewable market: proof you can audit, not a promise.
  • The landscape grows. New wind and solar farms appear as the certificate market funds new projects.

The move: If your value is sustainability, show the receipt, not the leaf. If a skeptic can't trace the claim on screen, add the step they'd ask about.

Justrite PetroPad spill pad video

Justrite's PetroPad is a spill pad made with a smart polymer. The video contrasts old spill control with a pad that neutralizes hydrocarbons and turns them solid.

What works here:

  • The cost comes first: pollution and costly hazardous waste from spill control that doesn't work.
  • 2D animation shows the mechanism. Hydrocarbons become a rubber-like solid, and only clean water passes through.
  • Disposal closes the case. Solid waste is easier and cheaper to handle than liquid contaminants.

The move: End on the place your product protected, not on the product. If the last scene could sit in a catalog, add the clean ground after it.

Rachio Smart Hose Timer video

Rachio's Smart Hose Timer turns a garden hose into a scheduled watering system run from an app. Saving water is the value, and the features prove it.

What works here:

  • Split screens tie each app command to the water it starts in the yard.
  • Schedules for grass, shrubs and gardens get set in a few taps.
  • Weather skips and flow detection carry the promise: less water wasted, less manual effort.

The move: Turn your value into a feature that switches itself on. A weather skip proves the water-saving value better than a voiceover can.

Glencore Zinc in space video

Glencore's 15-second film puts an ancient astrolabe beside a modern astronaut. Then it asks a question instead of making a claim.

What works here:

  • A split screen spans centuries of discovery in one frame.
  • On-screen text asks: “The world runs on amazing materials. So how should we source them?”
  • No value is named outright. The question does the work.

The move: If your category carries a hard question, ask it yourself, on screen. If your video only answers easy ones, buyers will raise the hard one in the deal.

Mindray HIV testing video

Mindray India's video, Finding HIV Infections Fast, explains how HIV testing has shortened the window before an infection shows up. Mindray's 4th generation assay is the latest step.

What works here:

  • Science comes first. Animation shows HIV attacking CD4 cells, then the markers that follow: RNA, p24 antigen and antibodies.
  • A timeline walks through four generations of tests. Each one shortens the window period.
  • The claim rests on an outside standard: alignment with US CDC testing algorithms.

The move: Show the person at the end of your buyer's work. For a lab, that's a patient diagnosed sooner. If that person never appears, the value stays abstract.

kynect health coverage video

This 32-second animation introduces kynect, Kentucky's healthcare connection, through the people it serves. It's posted on a third-party channel, not on kynect's own.

What works here:

  • Short scenes open it: families using the ER as primary care, small business owners unable to offer coverage.
  • Music and narration move from struggle to hope.
  • The close joins isolated people into one community, with coverage available to all.

The move: Open on 3 people your product serves, each with a different problem. If all 3 look like the same buyer persona, widen the cast.

Value 2 · Wish List

If your value is customer first, let the customer's ask lead every scene.

Responsibility answers who else gains. The next question is closer to home: will this company listen to me after I sign?

A good tailor measures you before showing any cloth. Your buyer wants the same order from your roadmap. I call it the Wish List: the customer's request, need or freedom on screen first, your feature second. Eight examples.

Opera GX Mobile launch video

Opera's beta launch for GX Mobile, billed as the world's first mobile browser for gamers, starts with the community, not the product.

What works here:

  • A montage of user requests for GX Mobile opens the video. The launch reads as an answer.
  • The features match the asks: a game release calendar, free game drops and a deals aggregator.
  • Flow moves content between desktop and phone, and a Fast Action Button allows one-hand use.

The move: Open on your customers' own requests, word for word. If you can't find 3 real ones, the feature isn't ready to carry a value.

KB Home personalization video

KB Home's video, Ways to Personalize, shows buyers shaping a home around how they live. A design consultant at the Design Studio acts as their partner.

What works here:

  • The home starts from the buyer, not from a template.
  • A guided session covers finishes and smart features, chosen around lifestyle and style.
  • The relationship is the product. The consultant, not a catalog, carries the story.

The move: If your buyer gets a named person, like a success manager, show that person helping. If your video shows only screens, nobody sees who listens.

Comarch EV charging loyalty video

Comarch's video shows an EV charging loyalty system for oil and gas companies. It sells to the operator but keeps the camera on the driver.

What works here:

  • The driver's app books a charging slot and pre-orders a coffee.
  • AI-driven offers and automated plate recognition make each stop personal.
  • The operator gets its own scene: a BI module that analyzes the data for fuel companies.

The move: Show your buyer's customer getting something first. Then show what your buyer gets back. If one side has no scene, the win-win is only a claim.

Xsolla Mobile SDK video

Xsolla's Mobile SDK video shows game developers a way to sell outside the app stores. It runs without narration, on a simulated phone screen.

What works here:

  • A direct APK download shows distribution beyond the traditional marketplaces.
  • An in-app purchase flow offers several payment methods.
  • The line on screen is the value: “Play by your own rules.”

The move: If your value is freedom, show the step your buyer no longer needs permission for. Then say it in 5 words or fewer.

Xsolla Web Shop video

Xsolla's Build Your Instant Web Shop video shows a mobile game developer launching a branded web shop in 24 hours, in four steps.

What works here:

  • Setup starts from an App Store link that generates a shop template.
  • Pricing, discounts and availability stay in the developer's hands.
  • It ends on a purchase and the item arriving in the game, then the results on screen.

The move: Promise a time your buyer can plan around, like 24 hours, then show each step that keeps it. If a step is missing, the promise sounds like a slogan.

LatitudePay merchant video

LatitudePay's 30-second spot talks to merchants: meet more big spenders, with no interest ever for their shoppers.

What works here:

  • Bright geometric animation replaces the usual card-and-till shots.
  • Merchant benefits come in one line: quick setup, payment within two business days, bigger average transactions.
  • Reach is the close: access to over a million users.

The move: Say what your buyer gets in units they already track: days to payment, order size, reach. If a benefit has no unit, cut it from the 30-second cut.

Wabash Trailers as a Service video

Wabash sells Trailers as a Service: trailer capacity as a subscription, not an asset. The pitch is growth without adding fixed investment or headcount.

What works here:

  • The model is the message: a fully maintained trailer on demand instead of a capital purchase.
  • An animated US map shows service centers and flexible trailer pools across the country.
  • The money is on screen, including “up to 20% greater margin opportunity.”

The move: If your value is flexibility, show the commitment your buyer no longer has to make. Then show who handles the upkeep.

LeadEngage builder video

LeadEngage's 15-second video shows its drag-and-drop builder, paired with Follow Up Boss. The promise is build, launch and grow.

What works here:

  • Screen captures move from template to editing in seconds.
  • The story runs on three verbs: build, launch and “grow, effortlessly.”
  • The job is framed as building an “online empire,” aimed at business owners who want growth without technical hurdles.

The move: Write your customer's goal as 3 verbs and give each one a shot. If a verb has no shot, cut the verb.

Value 3 · Daylight

If your value is integrity, show the part most brands would hide.

Listening wins the first meeting. But before the contract, your buyer asks a harder question: will you tell me when something goes wrong?

A restaurant with an open kitchen doesn't need a sign saying it's clean. Your buyer's security review works the same way. I call it Daylight: the risk, the limit or the inside of the product, shown on purpose. Seven examples.

Kroll due diligence story video

Kroll's client story follows a market entry in Latin America. A distribution network the client acquired turns out to be tied to a sanctioned narcotrafficking organization.

What works here:

  • It names the threat plainly. Corruption and criminal ties are said out loud.
  • The method is shown: human intelligence that uncovers hidden owners and front companies.
  • The closing image stops the illicit money flow, tied to protecting the client's people, assets and brand.

The move: Tell one story where your product found something bad. If your video only shows things going right, buyers won't believe you'd tell them when they don't.

Spirent 5G complexity video

Spirent's explainer answers one question in its title: what makes 5G so complex? It spends most of its runtime on the problem before it names a product.

What works here:

  • Three changes get one scene each: virtualization, disaggregation and dynamic software models.
  • It admits the cost: “exponentially more points in the network to monitor and control,” and vendors updating “as often as every few days.”
  • The close is honest: “Unleashing the future of 5G isn't going to be easy.” Then Spirent offers the roadmap.

The move: Say out loud what's hard about your category. If your script calls everything simple, add the one line that admits it isn't.

Earnix trends report video

Earnix's video promotes its 2024 Industry Trends Report for insurers. It leads with the uncomfortable findings, not the flattering ones.

What works here:

  • Ticking clocks and turning calendar pages show modernization running late.
  • Findings appear as animated data: modernization behind schedule and underwriting changes that take months.
  • The report is the call to action, framed as a guide for insurers who want to move first.

The move: Share the finding that makes your industry look slow, not just the one that makes you look good. Then offer your report as the way out.

ZimVie GenTek TiBases video

ZimVie's video on GenTek TiBases with multiple collar heights is built for dental professionals. Its value is genuine parts, and it proves that with measurements.

What works here:

  • Ghosting effects and on-screen notes show a 0 to 25° angled screw channel and post heights of 4.5, 5.7 and 7.0 mm.
  • Collar heights of 0.3, 1.3 and 2.6 mm are compared for different soft tissue types.
  • A screw-assisted separation design is shown step by step.

The move: If your value is precision, put the measurements on screen. If a specialist can't check a number, the word “quality” is doing all the work.

STANLEY Neverleak lid video

STANLEY's 30-second video shows how the Classic Neverleak travel mug lid comes apart for cleaning and goes back together. There's no narration.

What works here:

  • Every part separates on screen, so nothing stays hidden inside the lid.
  • Arrows and lock icons guide each step.
  • Showing the parts backs the brand's “Built for Life” promise.

The move: Show your product opened up, not just polished. For software, that's your settings, your logs or your export. If buyers can see inside, they trust the outside.

Milesight ANPR access video

Milesight's video introduces Wiegand protocol support for its ANPR cameras. It traces a car from the gate camera to the access decision.

What works here:

  • 3D animation follows each step: capture, plate recognition, verification.
  • The data path is shown, from the camera to the access control system over Wiegand.
  • The backend screen shows white lists, black lists and schedules.

The move: Show each step where your product makes a decision, in order. If one step is a black box, a security reviewer will ask about it.

Paragon Sainsbury's direct mail video

Paragon UK's video shows a personalized Christmas mailer it designed for Sainsbury's. 3D animation peels the mailer apart, layer by layer.

What works here:

  • The envelope opens into an interactive “dreamy treats” jar.
  • Pull-outs reveal two vouchers for “750 bonus Nectar points.”
  • The craft is the claim: variable data, print finishing and design, shown in close-up.

The move: If your value is craft, show finished work for a client your buyer knows, and name the client on screen. If you can't name one, show the work up close.

Value 4 · Spare Hour

If your value is respect for people, show the hours you hand back to their team.

Honesty earns the contract. Renewal comes down to the people who use your product every day. Did it make their week lighter?

A good manager doesn't call a meeting that could have been an email. Your buyer's team judges your product the same way, in hours. I call it the Spare Hour: the wait, the reboot or the manual step that disappears, shown before and after. Seven examples.

Microsoft Windows Server Hotpatching video

Microsoft Azure's quick introduction to Hotpatching for Windows Server 2025 makes one promise: monthly security updates without the restart.

What works here:

  • A split screen patches a live client app and chatbot server while connections stay up.
  • A timeline shows reboots falling from 12 a year to 4 quarterly baselines.
  • It reaches on-premises servers and other clouds through Azure Arc.

The move: Count the interruptions your product removes from your buyer's year. Put the before and after on one timeline.

Cohesity dev and test video

Cohesity's video, Build Applications Faster, opens on developers waiting weeks for test data. It ends with them serving themselves.

What works here:

  • The wait is the opening scene: test data provisioned from slow, often sensitive copies.
  • Backup data becomes useful work. One platform replaces redundant silos.
  • Instant, zero-cost clones let dev teams get their own data, self-service.

The move: Show your buyer's team waiting, then not waiting. If the wait isn't on screen, the time saved won't feel real.

Dexit Conditions workflow video

Dexit's video, from 314e, explains Conditions: rules that let healthcare document workflows run on their own. It also shows what happens when a rule fails.

What works here:

  • Each step is diagrammed: fax received, AI extracts the details, patient matched.
  • Branching If True and Else logic decides the next action.
  • When patient details are missing, the Else path emails a person to step in.

The move: Show where a human steps in. If your automation never asks for help on screen, buyers will wonder who cleans up after it.

Oliasoft WellDesign video

Oliasoft WellDesign is a complete well engineering toolkit. The video shows its modules updating each other without manual work.

What works here:

  • A 3D network shows data flowing between modules.
  • Calculations update themselves, with no manual data entry.
  • Everyone works from the same information, across teams and disciplines.

The move: If your value is teamwork, show two roles looking at the same number at the same time. If each role has its own copy, the value isn't on screen.

eloomi HR workflow video

eloomi's product tour shows its drag-and-drop builder for HR workflows. Onboarding, performance reviews and goal setting are built without code.

What works here:

  • Admins build workflows with interactive content blocks and role-based access.
  • Mandatory training, document collection and 360-degree feedback sit inside one flow.
  • Managers get an overview of their team's progress and potential.

The move: If your product shapes how people grow at work, show the employee's step, not only the admin's screen.

Microsoft Entra Suite access video

Microsoft Security's video explains how Entra Suite secures access for a workforce that works from anywhere.

What works here:

  • It opens on a work-from-anywhere scene, then the threats that come with it.
  • Entra Suite appears as one shield over security service edge, identity protection, governance and verification.
  • One conditional access policy covers any app, device or network, in the cloud or on-premises.

The move: Show the employee getting in easily and the attacker staying out, in the same scene. If security slows the team down on screen, they won't feel respected.

LatentView MigrateMate video

LatentView Analytics introduces MigrateMate, for moving data from Teradata to Snowflake. A character-led story carries a four-phase process.

What works here:

  • Tangled data streams turn into organized pathways.
  • Automated discovery finds and retires unused tables before the ETL pipelines get redesigned.
  • The close lands on the Chief Data Officer and his team getting the data they need to decide.

The move: End on the team using the result, not on the migration finishing. If your last scene is a progress bar, add one more.

Pick your value

Which value does your video need to prove?

The short answer: ask what your buyer doubts about you as a company. Who else gains, whether you'll listen, whether you'll be honest, or whether their team's week gets lighter. The answer picks the value. One value per video.

If your value isUseDo thisExample to copy
ResponsibilityRipple MapShow who gains past the buyerEnel Green Power
Customer firstWish ListPut the customer's ask on screen before your answerOpera GX
IntegrityDaylightShow the risk or limit most brands hideSpirent
Respect for peopleSpare HourShow the wait or reboot that disappearsMicrosoft Hotpatching

Now go back to the list of over 75 core values. Your buyer has seen most of them on a slide. Almost none of the 29 videos above says its value out loud. Each one shows it.

The move: pick your one value. Write the scene that proves it: who gains, what was asked, what you'd normally hide, or which hour comes back. Shoot that scene first.

A value on a wall is a word. A value on screen is a scene.

FAQ

Core Values Video Examples FAQ

What is a core values video?
A core values video is a short video that shows what a company stands for through a scene a viewer can check, not a list of words. The strongest ones prove one value. Enel's video proves a sustainability claim by tracing clean power through the grid.
What should a core values video show?
One scene that proves one value. Who gains past the buyer, what a customer asked for, what most brands would hide, or the hours a team gets back. Pick the scene first, then write the script around it.
How long should a core values video be?
21 of the 29 videos on this page run under 2 minutes. The shortest, Glencore's and LeadEngage's, run 15 seconds. The longest, LatentView's, runs 3:29 because it walks through a four-phase process. Let the proof scene set the length.
Can a product video be a core values video?
Yes, and most of the examples here are product videos. A product video shows the value doing work, which buyers trust more than a stated value. Spirent's 5G explainer shows candor. Microsoft's Hotpatching video shows respect for an IT team's time. These software branding videos take the same approach.
What's the difference between a core values video and a mission video?
A mission video says where the company is going. A values video shows how it behaves on the way. For the first kind, see these corporate mission videos and these B2B mission statement examples.
What's the difference between a core values video and a brand story video?
A brand story covers where the company came from and why it exists. A values video zooms in on one behavior and proves it in a single scene. For the wider format, see these B2B brand stories.
Should employees appear in a core values video?
Only if they prove the value. KB Home shows a design consultant working with the buyer, so the person is the proof. If an employee only says the value out loud, show their work instead. Customer voices belong in B2B testimonial videos.
Can a core values video work without narration?
Yes. STANLEY's lid video and Xsolla's Mobile SDK video run without narration, using arrows, icons and on-screen text. Glencore asks its question in on-screen text. Watch your cut on mute before you add a voice.
How many values should one video cover?
One. A video that tries to prove four values proves none of them well. If you have four values, make four short videos, one scene each, and place each one where that value matters most.
How do you show sustainability without it sounding like greenwashing?
Show the mechanism and the standard. Enel traces clean power through renewable energy certificates. FSC ties its certification to the EU Deforestation Regulation. Justrite shows a spill turning solid. For causes rather than products, see these advocacy ads.
How do you show a customer-first value?
Put the customer's request on screen before your answer. Opera opens its GX Mobile launch on a montage of user requests. KB Home starts from how the buyer lives, not from a floor plan. Then show the feature that answers the ask.
Should a core values video use animation or live action?
Use animation when the value lives in something a camera can't film: data, a process or a supply chain. Enel, Spirent and Dexit animate what's invisible. Use live action when the proof is a person doing the work.
How do you measure whether a core values video works?
Pick the goal first. For recruiting, track applications from your careers page. For sales, track whether the objection your value answers comes up less often on calls. Then check watch time and where viewers drop off.

Patterns from the analysis

Core Values Video Best Practices

One of the 29 videos, Spirent's, was broken down from its full transcript. The counts below come from the YouTube titles and the written breakdowns above. Read them as what these 29 show, not as market data.

Unnamed Value

Should a core values video name the value?

Observation
Read the YouTube titles. Microsoft's is about Hotpatching. Glencore's is “Zinc in space.” Earnix's is a trends report. Only Paragon's title uses a value-like word: “Design and innovation format.” The values sit inside the scenes.
Data
1 of 29 YouTube titles uses a value word. 28 name a product, a feature, a benefit or a question.
The move
Write the value in your brief, not in your title. Then check that every scene proves it.
Outside Rule

How do values videos make a claim believable?

Observation
FSC ties its value to the EU Deforestation Regulation. Mindray cites US CDC testing algorithms. Enel uses renewable energy certificates, which buyers can audit. Kroll works inside anti-bribery and corruption risk assessments.
Data
At least 4 of 29 tie the value to a rule or standard outside the company.
The move
Anchor your value to a standard your buyer's compliance team already uses. Their checklist becomes your proof.
Hard Admission

Should a values video admit what's hard?

Observation
Spirent says 5G “isn't going to be easy.” Earnix leads with insurers falling behind. Kroll shows a client tied to a criminal network. Dexit shows the path for when a rule fails.
Data
At least 4 of 29 show a risk, limit or failure most brands would leave out.
The move
Put one hard truth about your category in the first half. It makes the rest of the video easier to believe.
Muted Proof

Does a core values video need narration?

Observation
STANLEY's lid video and Xsolla's Mobile SDK video run without narration. Arrows, icons and on-screen text carry them. Glencore leans on on-screen text and one question.
Data
At least 2 of 29 run with no narration at all.
The move
Mute your cut. If the value still reads from the pictures, the scene is doing its job.

How to plan

Where to use your core values video

Put the value where the doubt it answers shows up. That one rule decides most placements.

  • Careers pages and recruiting emails. Candidates want proof of how the team works, not a list of words.
  • Sales follow-ups. A Daylight scene answers “will they tell us when something breaks?” before the buyer asks it.
  • Your company profile video. One value scene gives the profile something to be remembered by.
  • New-hire onboarding and corporate videos for internal communication. The scene becomes the example managers point back to.

How do you create a core values video?

Eight decisions, in order. Each one narrows the next.

  • Value. Pick one.
  • Proof scene. Who gains, what was asked, what you'd normally hide, or which hour comes back.
  • Audience. Buyers, candidates or your own team. Each needs its own cut.
  • Standard. Name an outside rule or measurement your audience already trusts, if one exists.
  • Script. Write the last line first. Then the first line. Then the middle.
  • Style. Animation for what a camera can't film. Live action when the proof is a person.
  • Mute test. Watch it with the sound off. The value should still read.
  • Call to action. Decide the ask before you record: apply, book a call or read the report.

Core values video production process

Every values video runs through the same three stages. Knowing them keeps a project from drifting.

  • Pre-production. Set the value, the audience and the proof scene. Then the script, the storyboard, the budget and the timeline.
  • Production. Film the people or design and animate the scene. Record the voiceover, or plan the on-screen text if there's no voice.
  • Post-production. Edit, add motion and sound, get feedback in one round, then cut a version for each place the video will run.
