Emotions you can feel
You have the content. We have the strategic know-how and cinematic craft to communicate it to your target audience in the right way.
For us, "emotional" doesn't just mean tugging at the heartstrings or making people laugh. After all, emotions also include curiosity, anticipation, insight, concern, acceptance, wonder and pride.
Video examples our clients love
“Visibility can be bought. Credibility has to be earned. We help companies earn it.”
— Tom Wolt, Marketing Consultant & Director at Pathfinder Studios

Why video marketing works
Making hidden champions visible
Many of our clients are market leaders and hidden champions, yet invisible to their own customers. With videos & photos, we make your strengths tangible.
Bringing vision & products to life
People buy from people. Our audiovisual formats make sure your brand, services and products stay in your target audience's minds.
Explaining complex solutions
Visualising products and services that need explaining is one of the great strengths of our strategic explainer videos and commercials for companies.
Winning skilled workers and customers
Whether a new customer or a new employee: good communication builds trust – and with it, growth. Tailored to your goals, in every industry.
"Complex services deserve clear messages. Market leaders deserve visibility."
The biggest challenge in B2B marketing: Mid-sized companies, hidden champions and B2B brands deliver the highest quality – yet remain invisible to many. Outstanding solutions, excellent innovative strength and technical know-how are all there, but sales, marketing and HR are tilting at windmills and losing target customers at the decisive step.
Why video matters so much for companies: Photos and videos make the complex easy to understand, give messages a face and build trust. Embedding videos on your website, for example, can increase the conversion rate by up to 80%. At any time of day and in every language.
Emotions make the difference: White papers and data sheets convey content. Videos convey trust. Whether a commercial, a corporate film or a product explainer video: viewers don't just hear about your brand, they experience it.
How we delight 450+ clients
"Consulting as equal partners meets emotional storytelling."
As a strategic video agency, we use a unique combination of facts and emotion so that our videos, photos and multimedia assets achieve your goals.
The most common problem with company videos: Your services and products are strong, but they don't achieve the desired impact and response from your target audience. That's where we come in: with roots in international feature films and business consulting, Pathfinder Studios combines strategic thinking with emotional storytelling. From 18 years of working for global brands and hidden champions, we know that facts convince the mind, but a good feeling plays a decisive role in every decision. And that comes from targeted emotions.
Strategy first: Based on your goals, we use a range of audiovisual tools to develop the perfect solution for you. Text, photo or video.
