What is brand story film production?

Brand story film production creates cinematic films that show who you are, why you do what you do, and what makes you meaningfully different.

In Aberdeen and across Scotland, Reach Video produces brand story films that build emotional connection and create differentiation. Unlike corporate video that explains what you do, brand story films focus on who you are and why it matters. The result is video that makes prospects feel something, remember you, and choose you based on connection—not just price.

Why do brand stories matter?

Brand stories solve the "sea of sameness" problem that makes businesses invisible and forces them to compete on price.

In crowded markets, everyone claims quality. Everyone promises service. Your prospects are drowning in sameness.

If they don't feel what makes you different, they'll choose on price. If they can't remember you, they'll forget you. If your "About Us" page reads like everyone else's, you're invisible.

A brand story film shows who you are and what makes you meaningfully different. Not through claims—through authentic narrative that people actually feel and remember.

How does our brand story film production process work?

Our Story-First Process answers two critical questions before we film: What makes you different? And which story will prove it?

Clarity Call

We figure out what makes you different and which story will prove it.

Story Design

We work out whose voice needs to be heard, what message will resonate, and how to structure it so people watch and remember

Production

Documentary-style filming. Real people, real stories. 25 years of experience capturing the moments that make audiences lean in.

Deployment

We show you where and how to use it—homepage, sales conversations, social media, everywhere your story needs to work.

What does a brand story film deliver for your business?

Brand story films create competitive advantage by making you memorable and helping prospects choose you based on connection, not price comparison.

You stop blending in with competitors who all sound the same
Prospects remember you because they felt something, not just read something
Your "About Us" page becomes a trust-building asset
You attract clients who valuewhat you stand for, not just what you charge
Your story does the differentiating for you
