The Most Overlooked Videos Your Company Should Be Making in 2026

January 2, 2026

Most brands think they need more content. What they really need is better content.
And not the flashy, high-budget kind. The kind that actually helps people understand, connect, and take action. As we move into 2026, the brands who win won’t just be the loudest. They’ll be the ones who communicate clearly, educate consistently, and show who they really are.

What’s surprising is that the most effective videos for trust and conversions are also the most overlooked. If you’re only producing commercials or social snippets, you’re leaving a lot of opportunity on the table.

Let’s break down the four types of videos your brand needs in 2026 to grow with intention and momentum.

1. Testimonial Videos: Your Most Powerful Credibility Builders

If there’s one video category that deserves a permanent place in your marketing engine, it's this. Testimonial videos build instant trust because they feature real people with real outcomes. No scripted lines, no corporate-speak. Just honest experiences that your prospects can relate to.

Pro tip

Guide your customers’ stories with simple, open-ended prompts like “What was life like before this?” and “What changed after?” Authenticity always wins.

Testimonial videos help your brand:

  • Shorten the sales cycle by addressing objections
  • Build social proof fast
  • Bring customer wins to life visually
  • Humanize even the most technical products

2. Onboarding Videos: The Secret Weapon for Reducing Churn

A great product brings customers in. A great onboarding experience keeps them. Onboarding videos help new users get started with clarity and confidence so they feel supported, not overwhelmed.

Pro tip

Break onboarding into bite-sized steps. Each video should focus on one clear action or concept to keep users engaged and moving forward.

Onboarding videos can:

  • Reduce support tickets and customer frustration
  • Increase product adoption
  • Turn new users into confident, long-term customers
  • Scale your team’s time and improve efficiency

When people understand your product, they stick around. And video is one of the fastest ways to turn confusion into confidence.

3. Culture Stories: The Human Side of Your Brand

People want to know who they’re buying from, not just what you sell. Culture videos give your brand warmth, personality, and relatability. These videos show your values in action, introduce your team, and highlight the energy that drives your work.

Pro tip

Go behind the scenes. Show real moments. Brainstorming sessions, team wins, community work, or even bloopers. Being human is your greatest strength.

Culture videos help you:

  • Strengthen internal alignment and company pride
  • Stand out during recruitment
  • Build emotional connection with customers
  • Show the personality behind the brand

In a world full of polished marketing, authenticity is refreshing. Culture stories differentiate you because honesty never goes out of style.

Let’s create culture videos that make people feel like they already know, and trust, your team.

4. Product Explainer Videos: Turning Complexity Into Clarity

If your product is technical, layered, or feature-heavy (hello SaaS and Fintech), product explainer videos are your best friend. They simplify your value, shorten the learning curve, and help prospects quickly understand why your solution matters.

Pro tip

Use simple language, clean visuals, and relatable examples. Your goal is to make even the most complex concepts feel easy.

Explainer videos help you:

  • Increase conversion rates by improving comprehension
  • Train both customers and internal teams
  • Elevate your product’s perceived value
  • Support sales teams with a clear, repeatable narrative

In 2026, clarity is currency. If your audience “gets it,” they’re more likely to buy it.

Let’s create product explainers that turn complexity into clarity and showcase your value in motion.
