Unscripted Interviews:
Show (Don’t Just Tell) What Makes Your Company Special

It’s not enough just to get people to listen. Anyone can say they’re the best, but showing them is different. As the saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.” So how do you show, not tell, what makes your company special?

You literally show them—with an unscripted, interview-based video featuring real team members.

 

Why Unscripted Video Marketing Could Work Better Than Traditional Ads

People crave authenticity. In a world where you can never really tell who is a paid actor and who genuinely believes in a product, audiences want real stories. That’s why capturing authentic moments matters.

Unlike scripted content, where every word is carefully crafted, unscripted interviews bring out real emotions, genuine enthusiasm, and raw passion. A voiceover can be perfectly curated to say whatever you want—but nothing is more powerful than seeing real people talk about their experiences.

 

Unscripted Videos Feel Human

We keep saying “unscripted” for a reason. Hearing directly from employees, customers, or leadership holds power. It’s imperfect, unpolished, and real. Your team members don’t have to feel like they’re performing—they’re just being themselves.

So what does unscripted look like for a business?

  • Capturing your team hard at work
  • Sharing candid moments (celebrating a win, team meetings, impromptu competitions, etc.)
  • Showing your day-to-day processes behind the scenes
 

How Interview-Based Storytelling Boosts Audience Engagement

Interviews are the secret to authentic video content. They’re simple, conversational, and allow for storytelling that a script just can’t replicate.

  • When you interview employees, customers, or leaders, you capture their true experiences.
  • Interviews feel like conversations, allowing for natural emotions like laughter and passion.
  • Your company values come through without having to spell them out.
 

How to Conduct Great Unscripted Interviews

The key to a strong interview-based video is asking the right open-ended questions. Here are some of our go-to interview questions:

  • What makes you excited to come to work every day?
  • In your own words, what makes this business different?
  • Why should someone work here?
 

Bringing It All Together: Show, Don’t Just Tell

Now that you have the words, you need visuals that reinforce them. This is where “showing” truly comes in:

  • Behind-the-scenes footage: Capture projects from start to finish, from the initial work order to delivery.
  • Highlight team members: The process is cool, but the people sell it. Show employees collaborating, problem-solving, and working with customers.
  • Show real moments: Smiles, high-fives, and celebrations make an impact.
 

Ready to Create Authentic Video Content?

The beauty of unscripted video is that you don’t need extensive planning. Pick out key team members, create a few interview questions, and simply capture what happens naturally. The goal isn’t a flashy, over-produced video—it’s to invite people into your real culture.

So grab your camera or phone and start capturing real moments.
