Video Marketing

Company Introduction Video Examples: 17 Intros by Audience

Introduction

One intro, four very different viewers

Your company introduction video gets one link and four kinds of viewer. A prospect from a sales email. A partner before a first call. An investor before a pitch meeting. A candidate before an interview.

Each one brings a different question. Do you fix my problem? Do you fit my work? How big can this get? What would I build there?

An intro that answers all four sounds like a brochure. An intro that answers the viewer's own question gets the next meeting.

The short answer: the company introduction videos that work pick one audience and answer its first question. Fix Story shows prospects their problem before your name. Joint Work shows partners the shared job and your part in it. Growth Proof shows investors scale and direction. Mission Call shows future hires the work, then invites them in. The 17 B2B intros below are sorted by the audience they serve.

Company Introduction Video examples

Audience 1 · Fix Story

If your viewer is a prospect, show the problem you fix before you show the company.

A doctor asks where it hurts before naming the cure. Your prospect watches the same way. Until they see their own problem on screen, your company name means nothing.

I call it the Fix Story: the buyer's problem, then the fix, then your name. Seven examples.

Diffbot Company explainer video

Diffbot introduces itself through one character: a friendly robot that reads the web. It turns messy web pages into an organized, always up-to-date database a business can use.

What works here:

  • The pain is named first: manual web research. Then the robot takes over the collecting and the cleaning.
  • The uses are business ones: competitive analysis, pricing intelligence and customer segmentation. A prospect finds their own job in the list.
  • It ends inside tools the buyer already runs, Excel and Salesforce. That answers “will it fit?” before anyone asks.

The move: If your product is invisible, give it one character that does the work on screen. If a prospect can't say what the character does after one viewing, simplify it.

Splunk Enterprise Security overview video

Splunk's video introduces Enterprise Security to the people who run security operations centers. It opens on alert fatigue, then shows one place to manage threats.

What works here:

  • The opening is the analyst's bad day: too many alerts and too much noise.
  • Then the fix. Risk-based alerting and alert prioritization cut the noise down to what matters.
  • Trust comes from frameworks the buyer already uses. Detections map to MITRE ATT&CK and NIST, and dashboards for “Security Posture” and “Risk Analysis” close it.

The move: Open on the feeling your buyer has at the end of a bad day. If your first scene could belong to any company, rewrite it.

AHEAD Networking solutions overview video

AHEAD introduces its networking services and its Hatch software platform. In about a minute, a failing network becomes a connected, secure one.

What works here:

  • The problem is a picture: bursts of data and a network line breaking apart.
  • Then order. An isometric view brings in Hatch, which tracks thousands of network components and manages network refreshes.
  • The close is a partner promise: less technical debt and a lighter network management load.

The move: Show your buyer's system broken, then the same system fixed. If the two pictures look alike, the fix isn't clear yet.

Portrait Displays DUSK video

Portrait Displays introduces DUSK, its calibrated low blue light software. The video starts on tired eyes and ends on a screen that still looks right.

What works here:

  • It opens on close-ups of eyes lit by screens, and on people with screen fatigue and headaches.
  • The proof is a chart. A spectrum graph shows which blue light wavelengths DUSK reduces.
  • A three-panel comparison answers the objection: less blue light without the “orange overcast” of uncalibrated tools. No special glasses or screen protectors needed.

The move: Name the flaw in the obvious alternative, then show your product next to it. If the comparison needs a voiceover to make sense, redraw it.

Cedar Brook Group Insurance analysis video

Cedar Brook Group introduces its insurance analysis work with a question most buyers never ask. Who does a life insurance policy actually pay?

What works here:

  • The hook is a number twist. Animated counters show billions in premiums and trillions in coverage. Then the line: “not one” policy pays the holder directly.
  • Then the real beneficiary appears: the family, through life's changing stages.
  • It closes on a phrase a buyer can repeat: a “Proper Legacy” that lasts “Beyond your years.”

The move: Find the fact about your category that your buyer has wrong. Open on it, then correct it. If they already knew it, find another one.

Vaillant ecoTEC connectivity video

To be clear, this is a product film from Vaillant's Spanish channel, not a company intro. It's here for one move: making connectivity you can't see visible.

What works here:

  • A phone controls the home's climate, with animated interface elements for temperature and energy use.
  • A rendered modern home shows the connections as arcs and data overlays.
  • Service is part of the pitch: remote diagnostics and maintenance for the ecoTEC exclusive.

The move: If your product works out of sight, draw the connection on screen. Then name the service that keeps it running.

AGL meter reads video

AGL's video isn't a company intro either. It's a customer service film about estimated bills. It earns its place for one move: answering the question people already ask about you.

What works here:

  • It explains why a bill gets estimated, with a meter nobody could reach.
  • It shows how AGL estimates from past usage, and how the bill is later adjusted to real use.
  • The action is concrete: submit your own reading in the AGL app or My Account.

The move: List the 3 questions your support team hears most about your company. Answer one in your intro. If prospects ask it before they buy, it belongs on screen.

Audience 2 · Joint Work

If your viewer is a partner, show how your work fits into theirs.

A new band member doesn't solo at the audition. They play the band's song. Your channel partner, integrator or supplier listens the same way: will this fit what they already sell?

I call it Joint Work: the shared job on screen, and your part in it. Four examples.

Elaad EV charging interoperability video

ElaadNL introduces its role in EV charging through one question: what is interoperability? Every vehicle has to charge at every station, and Elaad tests that it does.

What works here:

  • The scale comes first: cars, vans, excavators and even planes, next to many kinds of charging stations.
  • Then the work. A split screen and a “TESTING in progress” grid mark each protocol match with a checkmark or a cross.
  • The promise is quiet: charging problems get fixed through software updates before drivers notice.

The move: If you sit between other companies' products, show the test grid. Partners trust a checkmark more than a claim.

Siegwerk 7 steps of circularity video

Siegwerk introduces itself through a method: 7 steps to circular packaging design. The company is the guide, and the brands it works with walk the steps.

What works here:

  • The method is one image: a hexagonal infographic with an icon per step, from utility assessment to rapid prototyping.
  • It's honest about place. Local recycling infrastructure and regional value chains change what works.
  • Hard ideas like economic scalability and market feedback get simple visuals and short on-screen text.

The move: Turn how you work with partners into numbered steps. If a partner can't repeat step 1 after watching, cut steps.

Sage 100cloud Product overview video

This Sage 100cloud overview runs on the Biz-Tech Services channel, not Sage's own. That's the point for partners: a clear overview travels to other companies' channels.

What works here:

  • A calculator morphs into connected business processes. Accounting software becomes business management in one shot.
  • It names who it's for: manufacturers, distributors and service businesses.
  • Supply chain, financial processes and budgeting each get an icon and a short line of text, in sync with the narration.

The move: Make an intro your partners can post as is: no dated offers and no deadlines. If a partner would need to edit it, simplify it.

European Commission Industrial Carbon Management video

The European Commission isn't a company, and this isn't a sales video. It's here because it does one partner move well: it shows a plan many players must build together.

What works here:

  • It follows carbon from industrial sources to capture and transport, then to storage or reuse in construction, synthetic fuels, plastics and chemicals.
  • Isometric 3D turns a continent-wide plan into one readable map.
  • The ask is cooperation across all EU countries, toward climate neutrality by 2050.

The move: If your product only works when partners join, draw the whole chain and color in your link. Partners want to see where they plug in.

Audience 3 · Growth Proof

If your viewer is an investor, show how big this gets, and why you.

A seed packet sells the full-grown plant, not the seed. Investors read your intro the same way. They're picturing the company in 5 years, not the product today.

I call it Growth Proof: one line on scale, one on direction, then the reason it's yours. None of these was made for a funding round. Each shows the shape an investor screens for. Four examples.

Avast Corporate profile video

Avast's film tells how the digital world grew, then places Avast inside it as the company that keeps people safe online.

What works here:

  • One continuous line draws the story, from a single idea to a connected web of people.
  • Scale is a number: protection for over 400 million people.
  • Track record is a number too: over 30 years of building trusted online experiences.

The move: Give your intro 2 numbers: how many you serve and how long you've done it. If you can only prove one, use that one.

PagerDuty Company profile video

PagerDuty introduces itself through the world it serves: one where every system is digital and always on. The line on screen is “Every. Second. Matters.”

What works here:

  • Fragile, connected systems come first, drawn as simple shapes and data flows.
  • A split screen shows the split of labor. Machines take the repetitive work, and urgent work goes to the right people in real time.
  • The close points forward: be ready for “what's next.”

The move: Name the market shift that makes your company necessary, in one line. If an investor can't repeat it after one viewing, it's too long.

Valmet Flow control company video

Valmet's film introduces the company as a “Leader in mission-critical flow control solutions and services.” Clean 3D renders of its valve solutions carry the claim, set to music with no voiceover.

What works here:

  • The claim fits in one line: leader, mission-critical, solutions and services. Products and service sit in the same sentence.
  • The renders do the explaining. With no voiceover, the hardware has to read on its own.

The move: Write your category claim as one line an investor could quote. Then show the product that earns it. If the line needs a footnote, narrow the category.

Genesys Brand video

Genesys introduces itself in 30 seconds as the company “Transforming CX for the most iconic brands.” Kinetic type and masked aerial shots carry it, set to music.

What works here:

  • The claim borrows scale from its customers. It says who Genesys serves, not how big Genesys is.
  • 30 seconds and no voiceover. Every word has to earn its place on screen.

The move: If your customers are bigger names than you, let their scale speak first. Then say in one line what you change for them.

Audience 4 · Mission Call

If your viewer is a future hire, show the work they'd do, then ask them in.

A sports club doesn't recruit with the trophy cabinet alone. It shows the training ground. Engineers and marketers judge your company the same way: what would I actually build there?

I call it the Mission Call: the hard problems your team works on, then an open invitation. Two examples.

NVIDIA Research introduction video

NVIDIA's video introduces its research group through what that group has built. It closes on an invitation: “Join us for what's next.”

What works here:

  • The work is the pitch: accelerated computing, real-time graphics, generative AI and robotics.
  • History becomes proof. CUDA opened GPUs to work beyond graphics, and research in real-time graphics led to DLSS and RTX.
  • The next problems get names: Project GR00T for humanoid robots and Cosmos for world foundation models.

The move: End your company intro on an invitation, not a logo. If a strong engineer finishes it without knowing what they'd work on, show more work.

DN Solutions Company introduction video

DN Solutions introduces itself as a “Global Manufacturing Innovation Group” in 60 seconds. Live-action headshots share the screen with holographic overlays and industrial 3D, set to music.

What works here:

  • People are on screen, not only machines. A future hire sees faces next to the specs.
  • With no voiceover, on-screen text carries the message. Some lines sit over dark, busy 3D scenes, which makes them harder to read.

The move: Put your people in the first half of your intro, and keep text on calm parts of the frame. If every shot is a product, a candidate can't picture the team.

Pick your audience

Which audience is your company introduction video for?

The short answer: ask who clicks the link most. A prospect, a partner, an investor or a future hire? The answer picks the move. One audience per cut. If two audiences matter, make two short cuts instead of one long film.

If your viewer isUseDo thisExample to copy

A partnerJoint WorkThe shared job, and your part in itElaad
An investorGrowth ProofScale, direction, then why youAvast
A future hireMission CallThe work they'd do, then an invitationNVIDIA

Now go back to the one link with four viewers. The brochure version gives each of them a quarter of an answer. Nobody books the meeting on a quarter.

The move: ask sales, partnerships, finance and hiring which link they send most often. Cut your next intro for the audience that link reaches most.

One intro for everyone is a company talking. One intro per audience is a company listening.

FAQ

Company Introduction Video Examples FAQ

What is a company introduction video?
A company introduction video is a short film, usually 1 to 2 minutes, that tells one audience who you are, what you do and why it matters to them. The best ones pick that audience first: a prospect, a partner, an investor or a future hire. Splunk's, for example, speaks only to security operations teams.
How long should a company introduction video be?
Most run 1 to 2 minutes. 16 of the 17 intros on this page fall in that range. The shortest is Genesys at 0:30, a brand line built for the feed. The longest is the European Commission's at 1:51, because it maps a whole chain. Cut anything your one audience doesn't need.
What's the difference between a company introduction video and a company profile video?
A company introduction video answers one audience's first question about you. A company profile covers more ground: history, offices, services and people. Profiles suit an about page or a trade show. Intros suit the first touch. For the longer format, see these company profile video examples.
Should a company introduction video show the product?
Show it if your viewer is a prospect. Splunk and Diffbot both show the product doing one job. For investors and future hires, show the work and the direction instead. NVIDIA shows what its research group built, not a product screen. Match what's on screen to the question your viewer brought.
How do you make a company introduction video for investors?
Lead with scale and direction, then the reason it's yours. Avast puts over 400 million people on screen. PagerDuty names the shift in 3 words: “Every. Second. Matters.” Follow the same order as a good pitch deck structure. For the full format, see these investor pitch videos.
How do you use a company introduction video for recruiting?
Show the work a new hire would do, then invite them in. NVIDIA closes on “Join us for what's next.” DN Solutions puts faces on screen next to its machines. A recruitment video works when a candidate can picture their first project. Pair it with a corporate mission video for the why.
How do you make a company introduction video for partners?
Show the shared job and your part in it. Elaad shows the test grid between vehicles and chargers. Siegwerk turns its work with brands into 7 steps. Then make it easy to reuse, like the Sage 100cloud overview on another company's channel. Good partner marketing starts with assets a partner can post as is.
Should a company introduction video show the founders?
Show them if your viewer is an investor or a future hire. Both are betting on people. A prospect cares more about the problem than the team, so a founder can wait for the last scene. DN Solutions puts headshots on screen, which suits a hiring cut.
Should a company introduction video use a voiceover?
Usually, yes. A voiceover lets the screen show the work instead of filling it with text. Valmet, Genesys and DN Solutions run on music alone, so on-screen text carries everything. That gets harder to follow past a minute. If you drop the voice, keep every line short.
What should a company introduction video end with?
One next step for the one audience. NVIDIA ends on an invitation to join. AGL ends on submitting a meter reading in its app. A prospect cut asks for a demo, and a hiring cut asks for an application. Don't end on a logo alone.
Should a company introduction video use animation or live action?
Use animation for what a camera can't film: carbon moving through a supply chain, or a robot reading the web. Use live action to show your people. DN Solutions mixes both, with real headshots under 3D overlays. Most intros on this page are animated, because the thing they sell is hard to see.
How do you measure a company introduction video?
Measure it against its audience. For prospects, track demo requests from the page it sits on. For hiring, track applications from the job posts it's linked from. For partners, count how many of them post it. Then check watch time, and fix the second where viewers leave.
Do customer testimonials belong in a company introduction video?
Yes, in a prospect cut, if they're short. One customer naming one result beats three logos. Genesys borrows scale from “the most iconic brands” without a single quote. For longer proof, a separate B2B testimonial video works better.

Patterns from the analysis

Company Introduction Video Best Practices

These counts come from the written breakdowns of all 17 intros above, plus the full transcript for NVIDIA. They are not frame-by-frame timings. Read each count as what this set did, not as market data.

Problem Open

Should a company introduction video open on the problem?

Observation
Portrait Displays opens on tired eyes lit by screens. Splunk opens on alert fatigue. AHEAD opens on a network line breaking apart. Cedar Brook opens on a number twist instead, and NVIDIA opens on its research areas.
Data
3 of 17 breakdowns describe an opening on the viewer's problem.
The move
For a prospect cut, open on the problem in their words. For an investor or hiring cut, open on the work or the market instead.
Plain Figure

Should a company introduction video include a number?

Observation
Avast names over 400 million people protected and over 30 years of work. Siegwerk names 7 steps. AHEAD says “thousands” of network components, and Cedar Brook says “billions” and “trillions,” without exact figures.
Data
2 of 17 breakdowns name a specific figure.
The move
Put one number your viewer can check on screen. “Thousands” is a feeling. “400 million” is a fact.
Known Tools

Should a company introduction video name tools the buyer already uses?

Observation
Diffbot ends inside Excel and Salesforce. Splunk maps its detections to MITRE ATT&CK and NIST. AGL points to its own app and My Account. The rest describe their product without naming the buyer's other tools.
Data
2 of 17 breakdowns name outside tools or frameworks the buyer already uses.
The move
Name one tool your buyer already pays for, on screen. Fit is easier to believe next to a logo they know.
Silent Type

Can a company introduction video work without a voiceover?

Observation
Valmet, Genesys and DN Solutions run on music alone. Genesys does it in 30 seconds with kinetic type. DN Solutions runs 60 seconds, and some of its text sits over dark, busy scenes.
Data
3 of 17 are confirmed music-only, with no voiceover.
The move
If you drop the voice, keep it short and keep every line on a calm background. Read each line aloud: if it takes longer than the shot, cut words.

How to plan

Where to use your company introduction video

Put each cut where its audience arrives. That one rule decides most placements.

  • Sales emails and landing pages. The Fix Story cut, for prospects.
  • Partner portals and co-selling decks. The Joint Work cut, ready to post as is.
  • Investor updates and pitch meetings. The Growth Proof cut, sent before the meeting.
  • Job posts and careers pages. The Mission Call cut, linked from every role.

How do you create a company introduction video?

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

  • Audience. Prospect, partner, investor or future hire. Pick one.
  • Question. The first thing that audience wants to know about you.
  • Answer. One line that answers it.
  • Proof. One number or one shown result that backs the line.
  • Script. Write the last line first. Then the first line. Then the middle.
  • Style. Animation for what a camera can't film. Live action for your people.
  • Storyboard. One frame per idea. If a frame doesn't answer the question, cut it.
  • Voice. Narration, or short on-screen lines if it runs on music.
  • Edit. Cut every second your audience doesn't need. The wider brand story can live in another video.
  • Next step. One ask, matched to the audience.

Cutting one intro for four audiences

You don't need four films. You need one shoot and four edits.

The middle of an intro, what you do and how, rarely changes by audience. The first 10 seconds and the last line do. So plan the shared middle once, then swap the ends.

  • Shared middle. What the company does, shown once, with no audience-specific claims.
  • Prospect open. Their problem. Close on a demo request.
  • Partner open. The shared job. Close on how to work together.
  • Investor open. Scale and direction. Close on the one line they'll repeat.
  • Hiring open. The work. Close on an invitation to apply.

Company introduction video production process

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

  • Pre-production. Set the audience, the question and the answer. Then the script, the storyboard, the budget and the timeline.
  • Production. Design and animate the scenes, or film your people and places. Record the voiceover.
  • Post-production. Edit, add motion and sound, get feedback in one round, then cut a version per audience and per platform.
