Did you know 2011 was the International Year of Forests?
It was also the year Game of Thrones premiered on our screens, the planet Neptune completed its first orbit since it was discovered in 1846, Djokovic won his first Wimbledon title, a new species of Dolphin was discovered in Australia… And it was the year Square Daisy was founded!
Anniversary videos are a really nice way to celebrate your milestones as a business, no matter the size of your organisation. And not only that, they are an easy win as a marketing video to push out on your socials so that people in your network can celebrate with you! A business anniversary is more than just a date on the calendar; it’s a reflection of the brand’s journey, values, and impact. Business birthday videos serve as a powerful tool for reinforcing brand identity and fostering loyalty among stakeholders.
It’s an opportunity to show gratitude to the people who helped you on your business journey be that employees, partners, suppliers and customers, and of course a moment to pat yourself on the back.
Here’s a few anniversary videos we’ve made in our time:
This animated short is a simple, light-hearted example of how a video can grab attention and act as a tool to direct the viewer to a longer form of content such as a newsletter or a blog.
In May 2021 we celebrated ten years in business. We had a series of celebrations planned but alas Covid put a stop to that, but we felt it was important to mark the occasion and celebrate the achievement. We knew that many small companies and individuals hadn’t fared quite so well over the pandemic so we wanted to be sensitive to others and be humble. As such we created a piece that hopefully communicated our genuine admiration, appreciation and thanks to every small business owner out there that just kept going through it all.
Our good friends at nTrust celebrated a huge milestone of 20 years in business in 2023 and this example really celebrates their journey from inception to present day, featuring a combination of stock video, on-screen text and photos to highlight staff and sentiment.
If you have a milestone that you want to mark, we can help in a number of ways, most of which are extremely cost effective like the examples above.
