"We Didn't Recognize You!": Why Your Company Needs the Power of Professional Corporate Headshots

TLDR: Professional corporate headshots are essential for creating a cohesive and polished visual brand on platforms like LinkedIn and your “About Us” page. Updating your team’s photos can significantly boost engagement, trust, and overall impressions—because in the business world, a picture could be worth your next big client.




Your company’s LinkedIn and “About Us” page is starting to look like a digital graveyard of mismatched photos. Beach selfies awkwardly mingle with dimly lit office shots, and that one executive’s headshot? It screams “1985 yearbook” louder than a Bon Jovi concert. First impressions? Scattered, unprofessional, and a little bit cringe.


Sure, at Raised Media Co., we’re all about making things move—video is our bread and butter. But here’s a little plot twist: we’ve got a secret weapon up our sleeve, and it’s not just about motion. We’re talking about the still image, specifically, corporate headshots that don’t just sit there—they pack a punch.


We’ve seen it firsthand: a cohesive set of professional headshots can completely transform a company’s visual brand. The impact? Immediate and measurable. Think of it as the digital equivalent of swapping your flip-flops for a pair of polished Oxfords. Suddenly, you’re looking the part.

A strong headshot isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a must-have. It’s your virtual handshake, your first impression, your silent spokesperson that doesn’t even need to say a word. In today’s world of remote work and Zoom calls, that headshot might be the only visual some colleagues or clients ever see of you. So, what’s it saying?

If your headshot is a decade old, it’s time for a refresh. Unless you’ve discovered the fountain of youth (and if so, we’ve got some follow-up questions), an outdated headshot can lead to some awkward first meetings. “Oh, I didn’t recognize you!” is not exactly the icebreaker you’re going for.


When we tackle corporate headshots, we’re not just snapping photos; we’re crafting a visual brand. Each shot is consistent yet allows individual personalities to shine through—kind of like capturing lightning in a bottle, but with more smiles and less static.


And the results? They speak for themselves. Engagement on “About Us” pages skyrockets. Social media presence becomes as cohesive as a boy band’s dance routine. And team morale? Through the roof. Turns out, people really like looking good. Who knew?

But it’s not just about vanity. In the corporate world, a unified visual front says, “We’ve got our act together.” It whispers, “Trust us with your business.” And it shouts, “We’re a team, even if we’re spread across different time zones.” Your headshots are out there, holding down the fort, making impressions 24/7, whether you’re based in the heart of New York or a remote corner of the world.


So, maybe it’s time for an update. In the business world, a picture isn’t just worth a thousand words—it could be worth your next big client. Ready to put your best face forward? While we’re not here to find your good side—we’re here to make sure every side is your good side.


Because while we believe in the power of video to tell your story, sometimes a single, perfectly captured moment can speak volumes. Let’s make sure it’s saying exactly what you want it to.
