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.

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.
