Is a case study the most effective type of video production?

Video case studies are social proof in action.

A case study video packs a serious marketing punch because it’s immediately relatable to prospective customers.

You’re sharing your product or service benefits in a way that resonates better than any other.

It’s such an easy way to build brand trust – while subtly bragging about your solutions and results – in just a few minutes of watch time.

Is a case study different to a customer testimonial video?

Testimonial videos are a very similar type of corporate video, but with a more singular focus.

In this marketing strategy, the customer testimonial is focused on a person or company’s experience of your service or product.

A case study gives a more detailed overview of both the client experience and the process to get the desired result.

Both are powerful video strategies to reach potential customers., but the case study goes deeper.

Our clients love case study videos

Why? You not only tick the trust box, you also create desire by the viewer for the same result or success they’ve just watched another client achieve.

There’s an increased conversion rate that comes with that.

Video case example by Hastings Deering

Video case studies are something Hastings Deering does consistently and well in their marketing to prospective clients.

As one of our most successful Australian-owned companies, you could follow their lead and reap the benefits.

In this video case study below, we open the story with the client’s challenge: Their client – Middlemount Coal – needed a more efficient way to remove the overburden at its operations in Queensland’s Bowen Basin.

The mine collaborated with their Hastings Deering Cat dealer to find the optimal truck for the site. Their priority was maximising truck payload without increasing the overall weight.

Video case study example by Greenham

Greenham needed to inspire and educate their producers (cattle farmers) about a new standard they hoped each would adopt.

The most effective way to do this was through the results achieved by other producers.

Target Audience: Greenham cattle producers

Purpose: to showcase the benefits of adopting practice change, broadly explain how to do it and have producers come away wanting to implement change, see it as achievable and know what the next steps are.

Content: each video covered specific areas of the new standard, the benefits of adopting change and how individual producers managed these practices on-farm.
