Video

Video can be one of our most effective tools to connect with the people we serve, amplify the Bureau’s mission, distribute information, and make announcements. It is a complex and multifaceted medium, requiring attention to every detail including story structure, composition, audio, color treatment, typography, timing, and more.

At the Bureau, we produce videos in a variety of styles and formats depending on the objective(s), targeted audience(s), scope, resources, content, and messaging for each project. We always strive to keep videos at the CFPB consistent and unique.

Watch some of our public facing videos here.
