Introduction

What’s a sizzle reel? That depends on who you ask. For some, it’s a fast-paced video with awesome transitions and hyped music that creates an exciting vibe about a person or company. For others, saying sizzle reel is a cliché and one that’s entirely overused.

I can’t say that I disagree, but for most people the term sizzle reel simply implies an “about us” video or a “testimonial”. They’ve also been called demo reels, trailers, show reels, promo videos, or teasers. Regardless, a sizzle reel is essentially a one-minute commercial, a short video that promotes your brand, company, its product, or service and tells the audience about you in a fast-paced format.

In our short attention span society, sizzle reels are used for quick digestion of information and used across many marketing initiatives such as social media, sales meetings, conferences, or even on the homepage of your website. Regardless, the importance of having these types of videos can’t be understated!
