Client Spotlight: How a Lethbridge Business is Using Video to Grow
By Coalbanks Creative on 7/23/2025
It’s one thing to talk about the power of a great story. It’s another to see it in action. We recently had the chance to work with a fantastic Lethbridge business, and their story is a perfect example of how video can do more than just sell—it can build a community.

The Challenge: More Than Just a Transaction
This particular business isn’t just about what they sell. They have a deep commitment to quality, community, and the craft of their work. But their online presence didn’t fully capture that “why.” They were attracting customers, but they wanted to build a loyal following who understood the heart behind their brand.
The Idea: A Story, Not a Sales Pitch
Instead of a typical promotional video, we decided to create a short documentary piece. We spent a day with their team, not with a script, but with open-ended questions:
- Why did you start this business?
- What’s the hardest part of your day?
- What’s the moment you feel most proud of?
The goal wasn’t to get soundbites. It was to capture the real, unscripted moments of passion and dedication that happen every day.
The Result: Connection Over Clicks
The final video wasn’t a hard sell. It was a two-minute story about the people behind the business. It showed their skill, their dedication, and their genuine love for what they do and for the community they serve.
They shared it on their social media and their website. Here’s what happened:
- The comments were different. Instead of “how much is it?” people were saying “I had no idea how much care went into this.”
- They built loyalty. The video gave existing customers a story to share, turning them into vocal advocates for the brand.
- They attracted the right people. New customers came in not just looking for a product, but because they felt a connection to the values the video showcased.
This is what we mean when we say we help you tell your story. It’s about creating something that resonates on a human level. Something that builds trust, fosters community, and helps your business grow in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.
