Memphis Corporate Video Production: Industries We Serve

Memphis runs on more industries than most people outside the city realize. It is a global logistics hub, a center for pediatric and biomedical research, a music city with a worldwide reputation, and a regional anchor for hospitality, manufacturing, and nonprofits. Each of these sectors uses video differently, and a one-size-fits-all corporate video rarely works. Here is how corporate video production looks across the industries that shape Memphis business, and what to plan for if you are hiring a video production company in Memphis.

A note on names: we mention well-known Memphis organizations below to illustrate the local business landscape, not as a client list

Logistics, Distribution, and Transportation

Memphis is home to FedEx's global headquarters and its Memphis hub, and Memphis International Airport is among the busiest cargo airports in the world. That makes logistics the city's defining industry, and it creates steady demand for a specific kind of video.

  • Safety and compliance training for large, shift-based workforces

  • Driver, warehouse, and operations recruiting videos

  • Capability and facility overviews for shippers and partners

  • Onboarding series that new hires can watch on any device

Planning tip: schedule filming around operating shifts and build in time for safety briefings, required protective equipment, and site approvals. For training content, our post on how safety training videos reduce workplace accidents covers what makes these videos effective.

Healthcare and Biomedical Research

Memphis's Medical District includes St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, and the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, among many others. Healthcare video has a different tone and a stricter set of rules than most corporate work.

Patient and family stories that show impact

  • Provider introductions that build trust before the first appointment

  • Recruiting videos for clinical and research staff

  • Donor and fundraising films

  • Research explainers that make complex work understandable

Planning tip: build patient privacy, release forms, and clinical schedules into pre-production from day one. Read more in our guides to healthcare video production and why healthcare brands invest in patient story videos.

Music, Entertainment, and Creative Industries

Sun Studio, the Stax Museum, and Beale Street are part of what makes Memphis a music destination. Venues, attractions, festivals, and music-related businesses use video to promote experiences and recruit sponsors.

  • Venue and attraction promo videos

  • Event recap videos for festivals and sponsors

  • Brand films for music and creative businesses

  • Photography to support every campaign

Planning tip: capture your event or venue in its real atmosphere, with multiple cameras for live performances. Pair video with professional photography so your campaign has a consistent look.

Hospitality, Tourism, and Events

Downtown hotels, the FedExForum, the Orpheum Theatre, and annual events such as Memphis in May bring steady conference and event activity. Hospitality and event teams commonly need:

  • Property and venue tour videos

  • Conference and event coverage, including live streaming

  • Sponsor and attendee highlight reels

  • Reliable audiovisual crews for multi-day events

Planning tip: lock in your AV and video crew early for large events. Learn about NPDTV's AV crewing and read our guide on AV staffing for hotels.

Manufacturing and Industrial

Manufacturers and industrial suppliers across the Mid-South use video to show capabilities to prospective customers, train their teams, and recruit skilled workers.

  • Process and capability videos for sales teams and trade shows

  • Training videos for equipment and procedures

  • Recruiting videos for skilled production roles

Planning tip: plan shot lists around production schedules so lines do not stop for filming. See how training videos improve employee engagement.

Nonprofits, Education, and Professional Services

Memphis has a deep nonprofit community, strong colleges and universities, and a range of law, finance, and professional firms. Their needs are different, but the core is the same: show real people and real results.

  • Impact and fundraising stories for nonprofits

  • Admissions and program videos for schools and universities

  • Thought leadership and client testimonial videos for professional firms

Planning tip: lead with human stories rather than organizational descriptions. See our tips for nonprofit video production and why video testimonials build trust faster.

Hiring a Nashville-Based Crew for a Memphis Shoot

NPDTV is based in Nashville, and Memphis is about three hours west on I-40. For Memphis projects, our crews travel to you, and we plan shoots to make the most of each trip.

  • Cluster filming into one or two efficient production days wherever possible

  • Use virtual walk-throughs or photos to scout locations before we arrive

  • Build travel and logistics into the quote from the start so there are no surprises
