"Your audience craves transparency—show them the magic behind the curtain."
If your brand only shows the final product, you’re missing the part your audience is most curious about—the process. In 2025, behind-the-scenes (BTS) content isn’t just a bonus; it’s a strategy. And it’s quickly becoming one of the most effective tools for building trust, authenticity, and long-term loyalty.
Whether you’re a tech brand launching a new feature, a creative studio crafting a campaign, or a startup navigating early growth, showing the “how” is often more compelling than the polished “what.”
Why BTS Content Resonates So Deeply
Behind-the-scenes content hits at the intersection of three powerful human desires: curiosity, connection, and credibility.
1. Curiosity: We Love Seeing How the Sausage is Made
Audiences are fascinated by what goes on before the “publish” button is hit. From storyboarding to product testing, they want to see the decisions, debates, and drafts that don’t usually make the cut.
2. Connection: Transparency Humanizes Your Brand
When your team shows up on camera—laughing over coffee, tweaking animations, struggling with lighting—you create real connection. Your brand becomes more than a product; it becomes a group of people your audience can relate to.
3. Credibility: It Proves You Actually Do the Work
Let’s face it: anyone can claim they’re “passionate” or “innovative” on a website. But showing your team brainstorming at midnight or iterating through feedback in real-time? That’s proof—not just PR.
Types of Behind-the-Scenes Content That Work (and Why)
BTS doesn’t mean randomly filming your office. It means intentionally pulling back the curtain to show meaningful moments. Here are some content formats your tech or creative brand can use:
The Build
Show how your product gets made—from whiteboard wireframes to beta testing. These process shots show your depth and commitment to quality.
“We filmed a 30-second clip of our dev team testing a prototype, and it outperformed our launch ad by 3x in engagement.” — A SaaS founder on LinkedIn
Creative in Motion
If you’re in production, show camera setups, lighting rigs, scripting sessions, voiceover fails, and more. Your audience will love seeing what didn’t make it into the final cut.
Packaging & Pre-Launch Moments
The thrill of getting something ready—especially physical products—can be contagious. Show the nerves, the high-fives, and the near misses.
Team Dynamics & Culture
Showcase your people. Let the world see your culture in action—real people, not stock images. Culture sells.
Founder POV
Let your founder or team leads share reflections while things are in motion, not just when it's “done.” Vulnerability builds community.
How to Make BTS Content That Doesn't Feel Boring
BTS doesn’t need to be messy or directionless. Here’s how to make it magnetic:
Keep it short and punchy – Aim for 30–90 seconds for social clips.
Use captions – 85% of videos are watched on mute.
Highlight imperfections – Yes, the coffee spill, the silly mistake, the “oops.” That’s where the charm is.
Include faces and voices – People connect with people, not desk shots.
Pair with a voiceover or founder commentary – Narrate the experience as it happens or afterward for context.
Brands That Nail the BTS Game
Notion shows real users and team ideation before releases.
Duolingo shares hilarious outtakes from their social team—proving that creativity is messy (and fun).
Figma drops casual BTS updates on product evolution—making users feel part of the journey.
Each of these brands has one thing in common: they invite their audience inside.
The Loyalty Behind the Lens
When your audience sees what it really takes to create what they use, they appreciate it more. They trust you more. And they’re more likely to stick around, not just because of what you offer, but because of who you are.
So the next time you launch something—or even just plan something—don’t just show the polished video. Share the BTS too. Let them see the bloopers, the brainstorms, the belly laughs.
Because imperfection is relatable, and transparency is powerful.
