Why a Spokesperson Video Can Transform Your Press Release Into a Story Editors Want to Share

Aug 20, 2025
2 min read

In today’s media landscape, text alone often isn’t enough. Journalists and audiences are drawn to stories they can see and hear, not just read. That’s why adding a spokesperson video to your press release can dramatically increase its impact.



Why Video Works So Well

  • Human Connection – Seeing a person explain the story makes it feel real and relatable.

  • Shareability – Video is the most shared type of content on social media, making your story more likely to spread.

  • Trust & Authority – A spokesperson adds credibility and gives your announcement a face.

  • Multi-Channel Use – The same video can support your press release, social media, and even your website.


The Spokesperson Advantage

Instead of just reading a press release, journalists get a visual story asset they can embed or reference. This is especially valuable in industries where announcements need context or explanation — product launches, corporate news, or events.

A short (30–60 second) video with a spokesperson presenting in a branded office-style background adds:

  • Professionalism (media-ready look)

  • Consistency (clear brand identity)

  • Impact (it sticks in memory more than text alone)


How We Make It Easy

You don’t need a studio or film crew. We create spokesperson videos for your press release using either:

  • A human presenter, or

  • A realistic AI avatar, trained to deliver your script naturally.

We ensure the video is short, polished, and perfectly aligned with your brand.


Best Practices for Press Release Videos

  • Keep it under 60 seconds.

  • Open with the key message (“Today, [Company] is launching…”).

  • Use a clear background with branding for recognition.

  • Close with a simple call to action (e.g., “Read the full release below”).


Included in Our Packages

  • Enhanced PR – Includes a spokesperson video with branded background for maximum impact.

  • Full-Impact PR – Adds video plus follow-up, social packs, and extended distribution for the strongest reach.


Bottom Line

A spokesperson video turns your press release from a document into a story experience. It gives journalists more to work with, makes your announcement more memorable, and creates assets you can use across multiple channels.

I’m so glad I took this InDesign course,

I couldn’t have asked for a better learning experience! I loved how each module built upon the last, and Noah's explanations were clear and concise. His passion for design clearly came through.

​

Wishing the team the best of luck with the expansion of their business, I'll most probably come back in the future to take other design courses.
