video production company in Singapore

A few years ago, a small virtual storage company was having a hard time converting people through their home page. Why? No one really truly understood what they did. Their challenge: market a product to solve a problem many people didn’t realize they had.

To solve their dilemma, they released a short, witty, fun, and enjoyable explainer video. The explainer video is less than 3 minutes but it propelled them onto a trajectory that saw them acquire a massive heap of funding, a 4 billion dollar valuation, and 50 million customers!

The company is DropBox.

Having a great story is one thing. Communicating that vision and story to potential partners, investors, and customers is another. And that’s what DropBox was able to pull off with flying colours.

Do what DropBox did! Show them your story rather than just telling them about it. And the best way you can go about telling your story is through explainer videos.
