GET IN TOUCHIf you are still researching, the sections below explain what a case study video is, what makes one effective, and how we approach the process.
What Is a Case Study Video?
A case study video tells a real customer story. It shows:
- Background: who the client is and what they do
- Challenge: what they were dealing with before
- Action: what you did together
- Result: what improved and why it mattered
It is one of the most convincing formats because it relies on real people and real experiences. You are not claiming you are great. Your client is showing what it was like to work with you.

What Makes a Strong Case Study Video?
A strong case study video is not about perfect lines. It is about clarity and believability.
- A clear story: the viewer can follow what happened and why
- A specific problem: not vague, not general
- Natural answers: the client sounds like themselves
- Supporting visuals: footage that makes the story feel real
- A tight edit: strong pacing and no filler
Most people do not watch long videos. The aim is to tell the story clearly, keep it moving, and leave the viewer with a simple takeaway.
Our Process
We use a structured process that keeps filming calm and efficient, and helps your story land clearly.
1. Planning and story clarity
Before filming, we meet with you to understand the context and identify the strongest story angle. We then map the structure using: background, challenge, action, and result.
2. Interview prompts and filming plan
We create interview prompts, anticipate likely answers, and plan the supporting shots we need on the day. This helps the filming feel easy for everyone involved and ensures we capture what we need.
3. Filming day
We run a relaxed interview and capture supporting visuals. Our job is to help the interviewee feel comfortable and sound natural, while keeping the conversation focused.
4. Edit and delivery
We shape the story into a concise, engaging video and deliver versions suited to your website, social platforms, and sales use.
The video below explains our approach.
How Long Should a Case Study Video Be?
For most businesses, 2 to 3 minutes is the sweet spot. It is enough time to establish the context, show what changed, and make the result feel credible.
Sometimes we also create shorter cutdowns, for example, 30 to 60 seconds, which are helpful for LinkedIn or email outreach.
Case Study Video Interview Questions
Good interviews start with good prompts. Here are questions that often produce strong answers:
- What was the challenge you were dealing with?
- What was the impact of that challenge day to day?
- Why did you choose us to help?
- What was it like working with us?
- What changed after the work was done?
- What would you say to someone considering the same decision?
- Is there anything else worth adding?
A strong interviewer listens closely and follows the thread of what the person is saying. The goal is a conversation, not a script.
How to Choose the Right Participants
Start with clients who had a clear positive outcome and can describe it in their own words. The strongest case studies usually come from people who:
- can speak clearly without needing to be “media trained”
- are comfortable being seen on camera
- have a specific story, not a generic endorsement
- represent the type of customer you want more of
It can also help to show range. A mix of industries or company sizes can demonstrate the breadth of the work you do, as long as the stories are still relevant to your target audience.
What You Can Use the Video For
Case study videos are commonly used on:
- service pages and landing pages
- sales follow-up emails
- LinkedIn and social channels
- presentations and pitch decks
- tender submissions and capability packs
If you tell us where you plan to use the video, we can shape the edit and deliver versions that suit each use.
