Over the past six years the Lens Awards for Corporate Video has built its position as the most important awards programme for corporate film makers. To build on the momentum of this, Communicate magazine is launching LensLive – a one-day conference dedicated to exploring the power of video, animation and visual storytelling in corporate communications. Taking place on 4 November 2025, ahead of the Lens Awards ceremony in February 2026, the conference offers a timely platform to dive into the trends, tools and techniques shaping visual content today.

Since the launch of the Lens Awards, the role of video in shaping corporate narrative, engaging stakeholders and building brand reputation has grown exponentially. Today, visual content is not just a complement to communication, it’s a strategic asset. From TikTok to corporate documentaries, from motion graphics to immersive formats, comms leaders are using video to captivate and connect with their various stakeholder audiences.

In a landscape driven by attention, authenticity and innovation, companies must evolve their visual language to resonate with ever-shifting audiences. With the rise of generative AI, increased demand for transparency, and the need for agile, purpose-driven storytelling, there’s never been a more urgent time to master visual content.

LensLive will bring together the creators, strategists and storytellers defining what’s next in visual communications. Through real-world case studies, expert insight and practical advice, this must-attend conference will explore how the most forward-thinking organisations are using video and visual media to drive engagement and deliver results.

How LensLive 2025 will work?

LensLive 2025 is built around the intersection of storytelling, strategy and innovation in corporate film and video. The day is designed to move from inspiration to practical insight, bringing together creative leaders, in-house teams and agencies to explore how visual content can powerfully connect audiences to purpose and change. Through a mix of case studies, roundtables and trend analysis, the programme reveals how film and video are being used to embed transformation, rally employee communities, and leverage behavioural insights to drive real-world action. Sessions showcase the power of people-led storytelling to build emotional resonance, examine how technology and AI are reshaping creative production, and push the boundaries of cinematic technique in corporate contexts.

But in even more exciting news!

The event culminates in a live announcement of the Lens Awards shortlist, accompanied by expert commentary on the latest trends and future directions in brand and corporate filmmaking delivered by Moving Image.

Whether you work in communications, brand, internal engagement or creative production, LensLive 2025 offers both inspiration and practical guidance to elevate what’s possible in visual storytelling.
