How’d they get there? We thought you’d never ask.
In a saturated marketplace, marketing material can make or break a business. People are looking to align their core values with a brand, and high-quality testimonial videos provide social proof so people know they can trust your brand. Unfortunately, Directive knew they couldn’t do it themselves.
"If Testimony Hero didn't exist, it would probably cost me about 5 times as much, take 3 times as long, and I never would have been able to build a comprehensive story set like we did with our 38 videos." – Derek Gerber, VP of Growth at Directive Consulting
"We've already closed a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of deals because of these videos. The testimonial videos that we created are helping the sales team close deals faster and easier." – Derek Gerber, VP of Growth at Directive Consulting

We couldn’t have found Testimonial Hero at a better time. We had an idea for a large-scale project that would involve telling six customer stories, but the customers were in different regions. We worked with the Testimonial Hero team to interview subjects on video in Texas, California, New York, and abroad. The onsite testimonial shooting experience was nothing short of phenomenal. The staff were true professionals, arriving at the locations ready to go and coaching the interviewees through the process.
Within two months, they had captured the interviews and crafted them into a singular piece of content. The video was so good that we expanded the campaign to include supporting content. We’ve made nearly 40 videos with Testimonial Hero, and are using them across our paid advertising and social media channels. We also built a customer success module on our website that features those six core stories along with three additional stories that complement the narrative.
Producing the content in-house would’ve taken us six months and five times the cost, and it wouldn’t have looked as good or told the right story. Thanks to the expertise of the Testimonial Hero team, the final product was flawless.

All I needed was an idea and a couple of willing clients, and Testimonial Hero took care of the rest. The team handles everything from email communication, scheduling, travel booking, and dispatching qualified crews to record customer interviews and location footage. They help us plan the interview questions, write the necessary copy, and determine the best shots. They can work remotely, but they also conduct interviews onsite and make interview subjects feel at home on camera. They edit the footage into compelling testimonial videos, adding music, transitions, and graphics reflecting our company branding.
The final products surpass anything we could have done in-house and showcase Directive Consulting as a top-tier agency.
We tried making testimonial videos in-house, but it was a logistical and creative nightmare:
We lacked the internal resources to assemble high-quality testimonials that reflected our premium brand, so we sought a partner with the expertise and global reach to help us craft compelling customer stories.
