Make people wonder how you’re showing up everywhere | Cotswold Brand Films
That’s the power of video content.
Hey, Small Business Owner!
Are you ready to show up on your website and social media in a whole new way and take your marketing to a completely different level?
Photos freeze a fleeting moment.
They are a way of visually telling the story of your brand and your personality.
A brand film magnifies that ability to connect with your audience and really pull them in.

A brand film magnifies that ability to connect with your audience and really pull them in.
As an experienced Cotswold brand film maker and photographer I know that a good brand film should not only capture your audience’s attention but keep it, by creating a compelling feeling of personal connection to that brand.

What are mini brand films?
- Small but mighty, mini brand films are evocative single film clips, 4-10 seconds in length, that bring depth and movement to your website. Perfect as banners, background moving images, blog post thumbnails, to break up lots of copy, in social media posts and emails. Use with or without text overlays.
- These snapshot films offer another dimension to your visual brand and enable your audience to get to know, like and trust you. They are simple moments that enhance your brand’s story and visual aesthetic.
- They capture the feeling of your brand, enabling would-be clients to understand how it feels to work with you. They feel like moving photographs.
- Moments you might want to capture: typing on a keyboard, creating a moodboard, showcasing your products, talking with a client, moments with your dog, having a cup of tea or taking a walk.
- Perfect for website banners: play continuously on a loop, bringing movement and energy to your website and keeping clients on your page for longer.
- Ideal on social media since video is such a key format at the moment: on the grid, as reels and stories plus save them to your highlights as a mini portfolio of your services.
- Based on my experience, brand films are silent so that they don't detract from the user experience on your website. You can choose to record a voiceover or add music directly on Instagram if you choose to.
Emma is SO patient and really is wonderful to work with. I’m SO lucky to have found her to capture the very important and special bits of my business.
I couldn’t recommend Emma’s work ethics, professionalism and talent enough. So fabulous and inspiring to work with.
Sasha, Make Up Artist
The way that you captured my personality in the films and the images really helped to speak to the audience I was trying to attract.
People are coming to me from quite a vulnerable place sometimes, and if they can see that softness it makes it a much easier step to engage in business with me.

It's normal to have questions
put your mind at ease...
Why does brand storytelling matter?
If consumers made purchases rationally they would simply make buying decisions based on the pros and cons of a product/service.
But have you ever bought something because it felt right? Because your gut told you to? Because you ‘needed’ it?
We buy when we make a connection to a brand and its story.
A story has the power to engage our hearts as well as our minds and elicit emotion. (Were you ever read bedtime facts as a child?!)
By telling a story you’re connecting with your audience and building trust.
Your unique brand story will set you apart from your competition and differentiate your brand.
Why should I use video on my website?
Videos are masters of storytelling. Videos that engage people by telling a story in which people can imagine themselves are a super powerful way of selling the benefits of your products/services.
Videos keep people engaged on your website for longer. And Google likes ‘dwell time’. Websites with videos keep people on average 60% longer.
People need information to make informed decisions. Video can capture the hearts and minds of your audience to empower them to make their choice.
People buy people, so video will help people get to know, like and trust you. It’s a unique and powerful way to share your personality and enable people to get to know you.
Why does Google love video?
Video is a powerful storytelling marketing tool. It can drive sales, engagement and revenue.
Google doesn’t necessarily know that you’re sharing a video, but it knows that people are more engaged with your content and staying longer on your site. Google likes pages where people spend time, and so it’ll learn that your website is engaging and important, which ultimately improves ranking.
Is it better to embed videos or link to them?
It’s usually better to embed videos into your site. This means hosting them on a third party website such as YouTube or Vimeo, then embedding them into your web page.
Embedding videos creates a better user experience. It’s generally better for SEO as it results in increased time spent on your website since visitors stay on your page (they don’t need to leave your page to watch the film), and it can help improve the searchability of your video.
To be honest, I was very nervous and rather dreading the shoot. In the end, I actually enjoyed meeting Emma and chatting to her. She helped me to relax and be natural. As a result my branding video shows a relaxed and happy image of me, and not a cheesy awkward grin, which is what I was fearing!! Thank you Emma!
