Eccentric buildings, expensive office spaces, and quirky employees – these were the hallmarks of what someone thinks of when we talk about Culture videos. But, there has been a shift since the 2010s. Now, culture videos have become a gold standard for a company to showcase its authentic self to the world.
Company Culture Videos offer genuine insight to prospective candidates actively considering you as an employer. They seek a working environment where employees can thrive. Exceptional employer branding and recruitment marketing content get the right candidate emotionally invested in your brand’s culture. They picture themselves as part of your company, having all these experiences, walking through your office space, and living that life.
A beautifully made culture video would translate into higher corporate productivity, better employee engagement, and reduced turnover.
But, how do you crack the code of nailing the ideal culture video for your company? There are many ways and themes to choose from, but the stipulation remains the same. It has to revolve around the ethos of the enterprise.
Here is a list of 10 Company Culture Videos to give you a better understanding:

The employees spoke about how people are the greatest strength of this organization, and there is positivity everywhere you go! The culture is down-to-earth and “magical”. People are results oriented but also don’t take themselves too seriously.

#Fiverr
An online marketplace for all freelance services Fiverr was founded in 2010. In 2016 they launched a recruitment video, “Another Generic Recruitment Video”. The employees at Fiverr called the workplace laidback and fun. A place that is full of creativity and a place brimming with positivity. But, they changed up the pace right at the end with this one quote.
“If you are good at what you do, you can work anywhere. If you’re the BEST at what you do, come work at Fiverr.”
Clearly, the messaging is transparent – if you want to be amongst those who are the best in their field, work at Fiverr.
