NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/-- Have you ever stumbled over the question, "What does your company do?"  It's not that you don't know, but in a quick conversation it can be hard to package your varied product offerings in a simple, easy-to-understand way.  Explainer videos have become a popular way for a brand to showcase its mission, a specific product suite or skill set; the videos work as a visual elevator pitch.  And with multimedia on the rise in communications efforts, it's an effective, and timely, way to engage with an increasingly digital audience base.1 

MultiVu, a division of PR Newswire, recently launched an explainer video series.  The first video in the series, the award-winning What We Do, gives an overview of MultiVu as a brand.  The video, produced in-house using MultiVu's experienced creative and production teams, also serves as a demonstration of MultiVu's abilities.

"With such a multifaceted business, clients are often unaware of the full breadth and variety of services that MultiVu offers—everything from creative and production to broadcast and distribution," said Evan Horisk, Producer at MultiVu and the lead on the explainer series production. "The team decided to produce three explainer videos that showcase what we do, and how we do it."

Explainer videos can help a brand achieve several goals:

  • To help people better understand what a brand does
  • To demystify a varied business
  • To spark conversation with existing clients
  • To generate new leads
