End of financial year does something strange to marketing budgets. Some teams are scrambling to justify spend before June 30. Others are starting fresh and wondering where the last twelve months went.
If you’re in the first group — budget still sitting there, clock ticking — corporate video is one of the better places to put it. Not because it’s glamorous. Because it keeps working.
It does not disappear after the campaign ends
A social ad runs for a month, then it’s gone. A sponsored post burns through budget and vanishes. A well-produced brand video sits on your service pages, gets embedded in proposals and pitch decks, runs as pre-roll, and pulls enquiries for years. We’ve had clients reference videos we produced two years ago that still generate inbound leads weekly.
Most marketing spend is consumable. Good video is not.
Yes, it is tax deductible
Not tax advice — talk to your accountant — but video production for business purposes is a legitimate marketing and advertising expense. Most businesses can claim it in the year it’s incurred. EOFY is a sensible time to make that decision.
Book now, film later
The most common mistake we see: a company decides in July they want a brand video for a September product launch. By the time they’ve briefed, revised, filmed, and edited, it’s a sprint. Sometimes projects do not land on time.
Booking before June 30 lets you lock in the budget and start pre-production properly. The film dates happen when you are ready, not when the calendar forces it.
What we typically produce in April through June
- Brand films — 60 to 90 seconds, clear story, real production quality
- Client testimonial shoots — capture it while the relationship is fresh
- Event coverage — award nights, EOFY events, team days
- Product and service explainers — especially useful for B2B companies with complex offerings
- Internal comms — leadership messages, training content, team culture pieces
How long does it take?
A simple testimonial series: two to three weeks from brief to delivery. A full brand film with multiple locations and motion graphics: four to six weeks. We will give you a straight answer on what is realistic for your timeline.
