When it comes to promoting your brand, products or services, corporate video has become one of the most effective tools in a business’s marketing arsenal. But for many companies, especially those new to video marketing, one of the most common questions is: how much does corporate video production cost in the UK? The answer depends on several key factors.
In this blog, we break down the main elements that influence pricing and what to expect when working with a professional video production company like BOXmedia.
Type and Purpose of the Video
Not all videos are created equal. The cost of a corporate video largely depends on its type:
- Brand films – Designed to tell your company’s story and build awareness.
- Explainer videos – To simplify a service or product.
- Training videos – For internal use, often requiring scripting and voiceover.
- Promotional content – Ideal for events, launches or social media.
Each format comes with its own production needs, which influence time, equipment, and post-production requirements.
Video Length
A 60-second promotional video will cost less than a 10-minute training film. While shorter videos require fewer resources, don’t underestimate the planning involved even in a short campaign-ready clip. Duration impacts everything from filming hours to editing time.
Scriptwriting and Storyboarding
If you need support creating a compelling script or visual concept, this will add to the overall budget. Many businesses choose to work with experienced writers and creative directors to ensure the message is clear, engaging and aligned with brand values.
Filming Requirements
This includes:
- Location – Will it be filmed in your office or require location hire?
- Crew size – A simple interview might need just one camera operator, while a larger shoot could involve a full team.
- Equipment – High-end cameras, lighting, drones, and microphones may be needed depending on the scope.
These production choices significantly influence cost.
Post-Production
Editing, colour correction, sound design, animation and motion graphics – post-production is where the footage becomes a polished final product. More complex edits or multiple revisions naturally add to the budget.
Talent and Voiceover
Hiring presenters, actors or professional voiceover artists can enhance the quality of your video, but they also represent an additional cost. Licensing fees for voiceovers or music may apply.
Distribution and Usage
If you plan to use your corporate video in paid ads, across TV, or internationally, the pricing may vary depending on licensing, format needs, or length adjustments.
So, What’s the Average Cost?
In the UK, a professionally produced corporate video can start from £1,000 to £3,000 for basic production and go up to £10,000+ for high-end, bespoke projects. At BOXmedia, we tailor each video project to your budget and business objectives – offering a transparent process from concept to delivery.
