#1 animated explainer video service in the UK
Ten of the things we get asked for most. Every one below is a real project. Pick a type to watch it, or go through to more of the same.
Work.life
The workhorse. Sixty to ninety seconds that take something you can only currently explain in a meeting and make it land with someone who has never heard of you.

The product on screen, doing the thing it does. A guided tour of the interface at the pace a prospect can follow, cut to the three moments that make them want a trial rather than the thirty they would skip.

Built to be advertised behind. Shorter, punchier and cut for the feed, with the message doing its work in the first three seconds because that is all a scroll gives you.

Restrained, brand-accurate and safe to put in front of a board or a procurement team. The style does the reassuring so the script can get on with the argument.

Characters and warmth, for when the subject is dry and the audience is not obliged to care. Disarming rather than childish: it is a tone, not a target age.

Type, shape and rhythm rather than characters. The right answer when the story is a process or a number and a cast would only get in its way.

Data that moves. A chart in a deck asks people to work out why it matters; the same figures animated in order tell them, and they remember the order.

For physical products that have to look good enough to buy. Every angle, every ingredient and the inside of the box, animated to a finish a studio shoot would struggle to match, without the studio, the props or the reshoots.

Onboarding and training people will actually finish. Broken into short modules, paced for someone taking it in on a Tuesday afternoon rather than someone who chose to be there.

For schools, universities and research groups with something genuinely difficult to explain. Paced for retention rather than persuasion, and made to be watched twice.

The brief builder walks you through the same questions we'd ask on a kick-off call: what it's for, who it's for, and the one thing it has to land. Answer what you can; we can work from as little as a list of key points.
We're an independent, UK-based animated explainer video production company with a difference: the best 'quality to cost' ratio on the planet, from an in-house team who make animated video with digital marketing in mind.
Since 2015 we've produced over 5,000 explainer videos for every industry imaginable: shiny ultra-corporate pitches, cartoons, and everything in between.
The team at Fifty-Squid did a fab job! I told them what I was after and they produced a fun and engaging explainer video for us. The process was super easy and the communication was great. As a matter of fact, everything turned out so well, we purchased another two videos to be produced! Do yourself a favour....if you need a service like this, Fifty-Squid is the ONLY place you need to look!
Squideo are a a real pleasure to work with. Their Digital Media and marketing help has been fantastic from start to finish, they have listened to exactly what we wanted from the marketing and have helped us as a company improve dramatically on our social media platforms since we started working together. We cannot recommend Squideo enough and can't wait to continue working with them in the future.
Squideo have now made 2 videos for me. 1st Car Credit and The Small Car Company. Both videos are exactly what I wanted at great prices. Would highly recommend Squideo to any business looking for a promotional video.
Great video and great customer service ! Well done and thankyou to all at Squideo for providing us with this great sales tool for our company. You should be the first choice for anyone looking for a corporate video.
I had an excellent experience working with Squideo, and the video they produced for my company was top notch. They bent over backwards to make it exactly what we were looking for. Already starting two more projects with them. Couldn't recommend Squideo enough!
Great service, great videos. Recommended. (Toby Harris of Responsiva Limited)
We get approached all the time by 'explainer video' co's from around the world - most produce very average output at exorbitant prices. But Squideo are different, young, bright, efficient & talented - they 'get' the message you wish to convey and produce a great product at a very good price = excellent value and I highly recommend them.

An unbelievably good service. Seriously - every step was exactly what I wanted. The end product is better than I could have imagined and it was a fraction of the cost of other companies. USE. SQUIDEO.
Our 2 minute Software Promo Video was produced quickly and professionally. Great job!
Great service, took longer than anticipated but for the value and the amazing attention to detail, coupled with some really fab designs, I didn't mind. The video was an unusual brief and Jade who drew our characters and made the video, did a really amazing job!! Highly recommended and will be doing our next one with them! Thanks a lot guys and gals :)
Squideo recently did a short video for us that we have been really pleased with. They were really easy to deal with and entertaining to deal with, too many people take themselves too seriously and yet they made the process easy to follow and gave us help where we struggled. Thank you.
Really impressed with the quality of work and customer service that Fifty Squid provide. We've had two animations produced and both have visually been fantastic! Both were professional, completely on brand and on brief! We liaised with Ben throughout who ensured that we were happy with the finished product and even made a few emendates for free. Really happy with the service provided and will 100% be working with Fifty Squid again. Thank you guys!

Animated explainer videos are short online marketing videos used to explain a company's story, product or services, often in a memorable way. They allow information or a service to be explained in a clear and succinct way and are a great method of communicating with a target audience in a short and simple way.
Animated videos are a much more cost-effective and accessible method of video production. More companies than ever are choosing animated video over live action (filmed) content, which involves additional costs such as actors, filming equipment and location costs. With animated video, updates and tweaks are seamless and straightforward.
Successfully promoting your business or services requires something impactful. The attention span of potential customers can often be limited, and they are more inclined to watch a video than to read a pitch about your services.
Getting someone to click on your explainer video is only part of the marketing battle. Once you've got a potential customer watching, you want to ensure they stay the course so that your marketing message can hit home.
An explainer video should be easily understandable and cut through the jargon. It should not be overly long, nor should it be a hard sell.
For many companies, embracing the services of an animated video production company for the first time can be daunting. After all, you don't know that your outlay is going to bring a return on your investment.
A well-produced video can gain you traction whatever channels you promote it through, whether it is hosted on your own website or elsewhere on the likes of YouTube or Vimeo.
Include your video in an introductory company email and you can boost your click-through rates. Use it to reach customers on social media and you can be sure it is targeted to your core audience.
If growing your business, increasing your brand awareness and improving your conversion rate is your goal, then a video agency could be key to helping you achieve this. Video should not be underestimated as a way to achieve some of your key goals.
Quality, well-planned video production doesn't have to cost you your entire marketing budget. Costs will depend on your requirements, but remember that cheaper is not always best, as a low-quality video could have the opposite impact and damage your brand.
