It creates conversation,changes perceptions or behaviours, and drives action, especially when used for storytelling.

    According to our research, 86% of communications professionals plan to use more video in 2014.

    It is transforming their world, especially when integrated with a range of channels.

    Video is only going to become more important as a quick and engaging

    way to get messages across particularly for multi-lingual audiences.Lauren McMenemy, Content and Communications Manager, TMF

    Video is being increasingly used as a way to bring news stories to life.

    Traditionally videos were done by Leadership to communicatestrategy etc. I see an increase in more informal, videos done on

    a more regular basis by team leaders to keep people updated.

    In broadcast, the same formats are used again and again because theaudience flock to the familiar. Corporate audiences react in the same way.

    A good TV format will drive engagement and conversation online,it will become a focal point for people to discuss. The same can be saidfor IC videos. If you have a suitable internal platform, likethese conversations will start to drive engagement with the format andcontent to ultimately build a following. You can then monitor conversationsand interactions to help you assess the success of your videos.

    With the advent of tablet computing,public wifi and 4G, the way people

    consume content and the amountthey consume is constantly changing.They are digesting more videos,in better quality, anytimeand anywhere.

    Advancements in technologyand social media platforms in the

    work place are blurring the linesbetween professional and personalcontent consumption. This has adirect impact on employee contentconsumption habits at work.

    Audiences want to watchthe same quality compellingcontent at work as they doat home, which brings manybenefits for opening up TV

    formats to internal audiences.

    The quantity and frequency of your

    videos may help to dictate the best

    format to consider.

    For example, a quarterly video couldwork as a leadership panel debate, withtalking points aligned to the prioritiesof your business within that period.

    Whereas a weekly video lends itself wellto a magazine style show with the helpof presenters and pre-filmed sections.

    Exclusive reporter led films or specialdocumentaries could work for videoscommissioned on an ad hoc basis oras a reaction to a business event.

    Increasing the frequency of filmsallows more time to build themes andshowcase examples of best practicewithin your business.

    So which formats would work best for

    a corporate audience?

    Our survey showed that

    of communicators see themselves takinginspiration from the stuff they see on

    and applying key elements to theircompany videos.

    Which format do you see working for

    your internal audience?

    Think of a popular show or series.Does it remind you of anything?

    The likelihood is that it is a recreationof an existing programme.Broadcasters are constantlybeing inspired by whats alreadygone before, and shaping it intosomething new that belongs in adifferent environment or context.

    We have explored how audiencesare creatures of comfort and yearnthe familiar. The last thing theywant to do is try too hard gettingtheir head around a new show.If your content reminds them ofsomething they already know, theyare more willing to engage with it.

    Thinking more like a broadcaster is a useful skill to have in the moderncorporate communicators toolkit. As well as using easily repeatable formats,broadcasters seek out compelling subject matters,maintain good

    production quality and brand values across all programming.

    Here are some elements that broadcast commissioners think about:

    Being character driven

    Finding someone who has somethingto say, has a bit of personality and will

    come alive on camera is no mean feat.Will they capture the viewers heartsthrough their charisma, drive or journeythey are on? The right characters createa following and an emotional connectionwith your viewers.

    Viewing figures

    Formats are often re-used because theyguarantee ratings, however in corporatecommunications the popularity of aprogramme is not the end of the story.It is important to measure and understand

    what action is taken afterwards. Drivinga change of perception, interests,behaviours or conversation are allessential to the planning phase.

    High production values

    Not only should your video tell a greatstory and engage people, it shouldalso look great. TV broadcasters knowthe value of ensuring high quality

    production values across their content.Implementing stylish graphics, sounddesign and thinking about filminglocations can lift the production valuesof any film to enhance the look of yourcontent and make sure viewers comeback for more.

    4. THINKING LIKE ABROADCASTER

    Vid makin shul b arf th IC skills

    Research and Evaluation,

    A New perspective

    Digging deep under the surface of thethings that audiences take for granted

    every day can provide a new perspective.This may be helpful in corporateenvironments where some messages arecyclical or activities taken for granted.

    For example, what really happens inthat far-flung data-centre? Meeting thetechnicians who work overnight to keepcustomer-facing systems running couldshed a completely different light on whohelps to deliver brilliant customer-service.

    Making a corporate video is not just about glossy films that look nice.It needs to have a purpose aligned to business and communicationsobjectives to drive engagement. Otherwise, it adds no value.

    Communicators are a bit like a channels commissioner. You set the overall

    vision and select the best format for the audience. Before going into the

    detail, take a step back and set a clear sense of purpose by answering

    four questions:

    5. TAKING A STRATEGICAPPROACH

    What is the communication

    issue that needs addressing?Set an overriding theme to theprogramme that is clearly alignedto the company strategy. This helpsdrive the editorial agenda for thecontent and boundaries around whatis or isnt included. Keep it simple,for example, the theme could beabout customer service.

    How should people feel after

    theyve watched it?

    Video is highly emotive it can liftindividuals and teams in a second, orbring them down for the rest of the day.Think about what emotions need to bestirred, that will change behaviour anddrive action.

    What does

    success look like?This is directly linked to thecommunication issue being addressedand helps define clear calls to action.Being clear on the desired outcome andagreeing upfront what content is uniqueto the video makes it easier to measure.

    For example, the video could featurea team who have a process for freeingup more time to spend with customers.If so, will there be an uplift in product

    sales or improved customer servicelevels as a result.

    What evaluation techniques

    should be used?Demonstrating return on investmentfor video can be difficult if it is partof an integrated campaign. Being clearon the success factors makes it easierto measure whats important and seekthat information at the right time inthe future. It also helps in the reviewprocess to understand what lessonscan be learned and improved uponfor next time.

    Simon Watson, Account Manager,

    Nationwide

    Behind every video is a team. Familiar formats are not only helpful for audiences, they make the most of everyonesstrengths and areas of expertise to make the production happen. Formats bring structure, which means everyone canadd something unique to the process. This helps to remove some of the pressure of more traditional corporate filmsas boundaries and clarity of roles are created.

    These teams are often made up of three types of contributor:

    6. BONUS! FAMILIAR FORMATSMAKE LIFE EASIER

    As communicators embedded in anorganisation, no-one knows the businessand audiences like you do. With thisknowledge already available, this helpscreate a strong business case for selectingcertain formats.

    Describing a familiar approach can helpget executive buy-in if they understandwhere you are coming from. It alsoencourages informed conversationsaround the type of content that is fit for

    TV with stakeholders. Sometimes videoisnt always the answer, which meansother channels that may be more suitablecan be considered.

    The broadcast industry is madeup of freelancers who move arounddifferent shows from daytime TV, tofilling peak viewing slots in the evening.Production companies, like ITNProductions, have access to this talentpool will be able to create an authenticviewing experience of your chosen format.

    Using familiar formats means thedevelopment aspect is alreadyunderstood, so there are fewer risks

    than trying something new. It alsomeans the video company has morecreative headspace. They understandthe boundaries and know how far topush what has gone before to producesomething that still feels unique foryour business.

    These people know their stuff andare experts in their field, bringingknowledge and insight. They are crucialfor ensuring the credibility of a story,perhaps even reviewing the languagemeets legal or regulatory requirements.

    They are also helpful for sense-checkingthe content. A wrong word or phrasecan turn an audience off in a second.Having the input of subject matterexperts in the planning and scripting

    stages helps save time at the pointof delivery. Their early buy-in oftenresults in helping to promote thevideo too.

    If you have one, social intranets aregreat for tapping into employee mood.Pick out topics that are drivingconversations and emotions. It willinterest viewers because it is relevantand guarantee them to tune in.Chances are theyll be aligned to thebusiness priorities at that time, andthe overriding programme theme.

    Traditional channels can work well too

    for involving audiences. Publicise thefilming date, and ask people to emailtopics they would like to see covered they could even submit a questionor two. Use the intranet to enablevoting from a list of three topics.

    Choose people around the business whoare credible in the eyes of the audience.Find a mix of junior and senior people,customers too. What makes them special have they experienced similar challenges,shared the same emotions as thepeople watching? They need to resonate,sound authentic, inspire confidenceand know what is going down in thereal world.

    The same goes for the host or presenter.Decide what they are there to do. Are theyfacilitating on behalf of the audience?Perhaps theyre an external guest andwill pose the questions that others aretoo scared to ask.

    We asked Lorraine Hambleton, ITN Productions Communications Associate, how best to use an internalcommunicators channels mix when creating videos. Lorraine previously lead HSBCs award winning TV channelfor UK employees, and was also Head of Channels at RSA insurance.

    Once the purpose of a film is clear, then its time to work out the process and detail. Here are some practical

    examples for sourcing the key ingredients of a topical debate TV format. The same principles could be applied

    to many types of corporate video.

    7. HOW TO MAXIMISE YOURCHANNELS MIX

    Using a variety of creative approachesfor the video works because it bringsan element of surprise. Within thestructure of your format, chosewhatever treatment is appropriatefor the message. From animation,user generated content, a montage ofarchived footage or simple interview.

    We asked ITN Productions reporters, for their views on the type of stories that

    warrant having a reporter to tell a story for internal communication videos.

    The majority of our surveyparticipants see the value ofreporter led programmes within

    their business, so we asked expertsaround ITN to share their insight.

    Reporter led films are structured

    like a news report,out on locationat the heart of the story. Giving theimpression of an independent

    journalist looking in on your business,they add authority and authenticityto your story. Naturally, we associatejournalistic reporters or presenterswith topical editorial content ornews bulletins. The role of apresenter/reporter is to deliver andclearly communicate concise andfactual information. Making complexinformation easy to understand.

    Because of the structurednature of these films, they canbe commissioned and deliveredwithin a week so that your contentstays relevant and timely.

    9. HOW TO MAKE AN INSIGHTFULREPORTER LED FILM

    Giving InsightI see my role as deciphering complexinformation to make it clear andeasy to understand, giving viewersdeeper knowledge of a particular topic.In the corporate world, a reporter canget under the skin of a new strategy,change programme, the competition,latest products or services ormarket conditions. This in turn helpspeople hold better conversationswith customers and colleagues.

    Finding HeroesI often meet people who do somethingextraordinary in the face of adversity.In business, there are so many examplesof individuals and teams who are

    relentless in going above and beyondwhats expected of them. A reporter canput these people on everyones radar,provide narrative and bring out thebest in them on camera. Their storieswill be shared time and time again asthe way we do things around here.

    In a CrisisThe camera hides nothing a frown,nervous twitch, or smile can speaka thousand words. Whether youreexpecting the unexpected, or reactingto a crisis situation, a reporter can getstraight to the point. Nothing fancy,just pure simple journalism. Today, itcould be anything from financial crisis

    to a social media campaign gone wrong.A reporter can help internal audiencesmake sense of what is going on andanswer the questions on their minds.They help senior executives talk openlyon camera and from the heart. It helpsaudiences to feel like theyre in safe hands.

    We asked Natasha Shallice, Series Producer of ITV1s The Agenda,

    what to look out for when making a panel show.

    Produced by ITN Productions,The Agenda is the first panel show

    of its kind. It features top politicianssitting alongside celebrities andpublic figures, opening up politics toaudiences in new ways by blendingmore traditional debate about

    politics, with arts and popular cultureand at times humour. It is a forward-thinking, topical, current affairsdiscussion show, the style is meantto be an approachable, informativeand easy to watch.

    Four people make up the panel with a50/50 gender split. Tom Bradby, politicaleditor of ITV, facilitates the debate. There is

    always a politician and they are joined bycelebrities, journalists, business people orpublic figures. We like to have people onwho the audience recognise and warm to,whose opinion they will respect. We wantthe audience to hear the panel talking aboutthings they dont usual discuss and beintrigued by what the panel have to say.

    StoriesWe try to choose the most topical talkingpoints of the week, which are relevant topeoples lives. As well as exploring different

    perspectives on a story and encouragingdebate, we try to ensure that there isenough space for panellists to share theirexperiences and stories so that viewerstake something away from the show.

    VideosVideos are played out before each topicto set the tone of the debate, and are arounda minute in duration. They can be funny,serious and sometimes make a point for aparticular guest to answer. They give paceto the show, and keep audiences interested.

    Moving image has a unique abilityto engage, inform and influence.Video is the alchemy that translatesinformation in to a compelling narrativewith the ability to change attitudes,shift perceptions and alter behaviours.At a time when film is so readilydistributed and shared it is essentialthat communication strategies arestructured with video at their core.As the barriers between broadcast and

    non-broadcast content and above theline and below the line communicationfade away successful organisationsneed to take the best from across thecommunication landscape to creategenuinely compelling content.ITNs white paper offers a practicalinsight to this emerging environment.

    Video is playing an increasinglynoisier role in the world of internalcommunication, particularly as away to start conversations. I welcomethis publication as a chance forcommunicators to explore whatworks and consider techniques

    to add to their own mix.
