What does a corporate video cost in the Utrecht region?
You want a corporate video made, but you have no idea whether you are looking at 1,500 or 15,000 euro. That is a fair question, because prices vary enormously and many agencies deliberately keep their rates vague. On this page we lay it out honestly: what a corporate video costs in the Netherlands in 2025, which factors drive that price, and what a video actually delivers according to research. We are DSTRCT, a software and creative agency from Mijdrecht, and we make videos for SME entrepreneurs in the Utrecht region. No sales pitch, just clarity.

What does a corporate video cost? The short answers
Having a corporate video made in the Netherlands typically costs between 1,200 and 8,000 euro, depending on length, type and production quality. A simple short video of 1 to 2 minutes on one location starts around 1,200 to 4,500 euro, while an extensive corporate video with multiple shooting days, actors and animation runs up to 8,000 to 15,000 euro (source: Dutch corporate video market figures 2025, including Rocketvideos and Mediamax).
A corporate video is not a cost item with a fixed price, it is a production whose scope you determine. The question is not only what it costs, but how much video you need to reach your goal.
Indicative prices per video type (2025)
| Video type | Indication | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Short corporate video (1 to 2 min, 1 location) | 1,200 to 4,500 euro | Simple filming and editing, ideal for your homepage or socials |
| Testimonial or training video | 1,200 to 3,500 euro | Interview setup, little location work, clear editing |
| Animation video | from around 2,950 euro | Explanation without a camera, strong for abstract services |
| Corporate video (multiple shooting days, actors, animation) | 8,000 to 15,000 euro | Large production for brand or recruitment campaigns |
These amounts are market indications (source: Rocketvideos and Mediamax, corporate video price overviews 2025). Music licences, travel costs and location hire are still charged separately on top of the base rate at most agencies. So always ask about this explicitly in the quote.
What determines the price?
The price of a corporate video is mainly determined by the number of production days and the post-production. Concretely, these are the dials you turn yourself:
Length and number of shooting days
A longer or more complex video requires more footage and therefore more filming days. Every extra shooting day means crew, equipment and travel time. A tight script that can be shot in a day keeps your costs low.
Type of production
Live-action with a camera crew, animation, or a combination: that makes a big difference. Animation needs no location or actors but costs studio time. Live-action is filmed faster but requires more coordination on the day itself.
People on screen
Actors, a voice-over or a presenter raise the price, as do make-up and styling. If you work with your own team you save on this, although it does require good direction to come across naturally.
Post-production and extras
Editing, colour grading, subtitling, motion graphics and music licences together determine a substantial part of the final price. A version for your website, a square version for Instagram and a short teaser for LinkedIn: every extra cut is extra work.
Does a corporate video actually deliver anything?
Yes, and that is well documented. In 2024, 91 percent of businesses used video as a marketing tool, an absolute peak, and 90 percent of marketers reported a good ROI from video (source: Wyzowl, State of Video Marketing 2024). That same study shows that 91 percent record more website traffic and 90 percent better lead generation since they started using video.
The effect is also on the buyer side. 87 percent of consumers say the quality of a video influences their trust in a brand, and 62 percent watch a video before making a purchase (source: Wyzowl, State of Video Marketing 2024). For a local entrepreneur in the Utrecht region that means: a potential customer who sees your video forms trust faster than with a page of text alone.
A good corporate video does not sell your product, it sells the trust people need before they contact you.
What does it cost at DSTRCT in Maarssen?
We do not work with a fixed price tag, because every video is different. What we do do: we start with a free conversation in which we sharpen your goal, and after that you get a transparent quote in which you see exactly where your money goes. We do not charge travel costs separately within the Utrecht region, because we are based here ourselves. We combine the creative production with our software side, so if your video needs to land on your own website or in a client portal, we arrange that in one go.
