Why SME Needs Sound Design

In the SME sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Sound Design delivers measurable results that transform how sme professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for SME

Small and medium businesses face a different video challenge than corporations: they need professional results on budgets that typically range from 1,500 to 8,000 euros per project. The owner or manager is usually the decision-maker and the on-screen talent, which means production crews must excel at directing non-actors and making them feel comfortable on camera. The most impactful content for SMBs is the Google Business Profile video, the homepage hero film, and customer testimonial compilations — these three assets alone can transform online credibility. Turnaround expectations are fast (1-2 weeks), and the production process needs to be simple with minimal disruption to daily operations. The KPI that resonates most with SMB owners is inbound lead volume rather than abstract brand metrics.

Video Challenges in SME

Humanizing the Corporate Brand

72% of job seekers research company culture before applying. Internal communication videos reduce misunderstanding by 50% compared to email alone. Yet many corporations struggle to produce video that feels authentic rather than corporate and stiff.

From employer branding to annual reports, executive communications to training modules, corporate video must balance professionalism with relatability. The challenge is creating content that employees and stakeholders actually want to watch.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Global Employer Branding Campaign

A multinational launched a video-first employer branding campaign featuring real employees across 8 countries. Applications increased 156% and employee turnover decreased 23% as new hires arrived with accurate culture expectations.

Key Benefits for SME

Engagement Across All Stakeholders

Corporate video impacts every audience: employer branding reduces cost-per-hire by 40%, training videos reduce onboarding time by 30%, executive thought leadership videos drive 3x more engagement than written posts on LinkedIn, and annual report videos increase shareholder engagement by 55%.

What Makes Sound Design Unique

Sound design creates the sonic world of your video — from environmental ambiences and textural layers to stylized effects that support the visual storytelling. We build soundscapes from scratch using field recordings, synthesized elements, and processed samples, layering them to create depth and spatial dimension that viewers feel more than hear. This goes beyond simple sound effects: it's the hum of a server room, the distant traffic behind an interview, the metallic ring after a logo animation, or the tension-building drone under a reveal. Sound design is done in Pro Tools and takes 3-5 business days for a 2-3 minute piece. We deliver stems (dialogue, music, effects) separately for future flexibility.

What You Receive

You receive: subtitle files (SRT, VTT, SCC), burned-in subtitle version, audio mix (stereo + 5.1), voiceover stems, and accessibility compliance report.
