In the evolving digital landscape, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the North East of England face increasing pressure to stand out. From Newcastle and Sunderland to Durham and Middlesbrough, local businesses are competing for attention in both physical and digital marketplaces. One of the most effective tools available to help SMEs rise above the noise is promotional video content, find out more about our Promotional videos for SMEs in the North East.

📈 The Growing Importance of Video Marketing

Consumers today are drawn to visual content more than ever. According to Wyzowl’s Video Marketing Statistics 2024, 91% of businesses use video as a marketing tool, and 96% of marketers say video has helped increase user understanding of their product or service.

For SMEs, this represents a golden opportunity to:

• Showcase brand personality
• Build trust with potential customers
• Demonstrate products or services in action
• Boost search engine visibility
• Increase engagement across social channels

🎯 Why Video Works for SMEs Specifically

Unlike larger corporations, SMEs operate on leaner budgets and need marketing strategies that offer maximum ROI. Promotional videos help accomplish this by:

• Creating emotional connections with local audiences
• Driving conversions with persuasive storytelling
• Offering a reusable asset across websites, ads, and social platforms
• Allowing flexible formats—short reels, full promos, testimonials, and more

📍 Why the North East Stands Out

From the cultural heartbeat of Newcastle to the coastal charm of Sunderland and the industrial strength of Teesside, the North East is packed with unique SME stories worth telling. But many local businesses have yet to harness the power of video to amplify their impact.

With the right local production partner, SMEs in the North East can benefit from:

• Region-specific storytelling that resonates with local consumers
• On-location filming that reflects your business environment
• Access to affordable, high-quality video production
• Local talent and partnerships for authentic representation

🎥 Types of Promotional Videos That Work

1. Brand Overview Video – Share your mission, team, and ethos.
2. Customer Testimonials – Build credibility with real feedback.
3. Product Demos – Explain how your product solves problems.
4. Behind-the-Scenes – Give a human touch to your operations.
5. Event Coverage – Extend the life of live experiences.

🔎 SEO & Web Benefits of Video

Video content can improve your website’s performance in several ways:

• Increased time on page, reducing bounce rate
• Higher chances of ranking on Google (especially with video-rich snippets)
• Improved conversion rates on landing pages
• Increased shareability and backlink potential

Great to be shooting for BUPA’s new social media advertising campaign in Manchester today at The Production Factory studios.

To give the piece a more intimate feel we decided to use the Eye Direct, a periscope that goes in front of the camera that allows the interviewer to look through the lens directly with the interviewee. This also allows the interviewee to look straight down the lens, a style often used on shows like SAS: Who Dares Wins.

Shooting format we decided to shoot on two FS7s 4K with Super Speed MK III from Provison and 1/4 Black Promist in the Matte Boxes.

A little bit about the Ambassador programme.

The Ambassadors are a group of people who are passionate about Redcar and Cleveland and who want to play their part in telling the positive story about how it is a great place in which to LIVE, ENJOY and do BUSINESS.

There was lots of ways people were getting involved with helping with the team. An effort of ‘selling’ our place, and at the same time getting some benefits for their involvement. Please look around the Ambassadors web pages for more details about how YOU can get involved, and help us spread the word about our great place.

The event was hosted at Kirkleatham Walled Garden.

Kirkleatham Walled Garden is situated within the wider Kirkleatham Estate, on the south-western outskirts of the coastal town of Redcar. The historic Estate dates back to the mid-17th century and covers over 79 ha. The majority of the Estate, including the Walled Garden, is owned by the Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council.
