Personalised Video Shoutouts UK: Personal and Business Guide

A personalised video shoutout is a short message filmed for one person or group. It can celebrate a birthday, thank a colleague, welcome someone to a team or mark a business milestone. Wishes Made Easy uses real performing crews rather than celebrities or AI avatars.

Is a video shoutout the same as a celebrity message?

No. A celebrity message is booked because the recipient recognises a particular person. A WME video is a crew performance built around the recipient's name, your wording and the style you choose. If a specific celebrity is the point of the gift, use that person's current official listing instead.

Personal shoutouts and business use are different

A personal greeting is for a birthday, surprise or private celebration. Marketing, advertising, campaign and brand use needs explicit commercial permission. WME's corporate video service includes commercial-use options and volume pricing; do not buy a personal greeting and assume it can be used in an advert.

What to include in a good shoutout brief

• The name exactly as it should be spoken
• A simple pronunciation guide where needed
• The occasion and intended audience
• Two or three specific details that make the message personal
• The tone: warm, high-energy, playful, deadpan or professional
• Any words, jokes or claims the performers should avoid

Birthday and celebration ideas

Open with the recipient's name, name the occasion, add one recognisable detail and finish with a clear line from the sender. For a birthday: “Happy 40th, Jamie. Your football group says the knees may be slower, but the stories are getting faster. Have a brilliant day.”

Workplace and team ideas

Keep workplace messages specific and respectful: welcome a new starter, thank someone for a finished project or celebrate a service milestone. Avoid private performance information, health details or inside jokes that could embarrass the recipient when the video is played to a group.
