The fact is that most businesses, especially small and medium-scale enterprises in Nigeria, do not know the average cost of corporate video production.
From experience, most people are surprised when they understand what goes into making a professional video. You must hire a professional because the quality reflects on your business.
This guide will walk you through typical costs, what drives pricing, and how to estimate what your project may cost.

Corporate Video
A corporate video is a video created by a company to communicate to its customers or staff. It can also be described as using professional video content to promote a brand, its products and services.
Corporate videos are not commercials; they are more informative, used to build trust and provide a deeper understanding of a company’s mission, values, and services.
Examples of corporate videos include company profiles, training/induction films, internal communications, brand stories and investor presentations.
Typical Cost Ranges
Based on the pricing model at Arraya Studios and other Nigerian video production firms, here is the typical cost for corporate video production.
- A corporate profile video (2-4 minutes) is commonly priced between ₦170,000 – ₦1,500,000.
- More basic corporate videos or talking head/promo formats may cost from ₦100,000 – ₦450,000, depending on simplicity.
- A short social-media promo or 30-60 second corporate clip can fall around ₦150,000 – ₦350,000.
In short: simple corporate video = under ₦500k; more polished, multi-location or multi-camera corporate video = ₦500k+; high-end corporate productions (big brand, complex) can run into millions of Naira.
