We create professional, goal-orientated and powerful animated explainer videos that entertain, educate and engage your target audience. They do the explaining for you.
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
Explainer videos
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.
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.
You know you need a video. Briefing it is the hard part.
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.

Hi, we're Squideo
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.
Incredible Value for Money. We found this company through Twitter and contacted them for some advice which they were more than happy to give. The team have been helpful, professional and honest throughout and once we received our videos we were so happy with the quality. There was a slight worry the quality wouldn't be as good as expected due to the price being so low but we have been blown away both times with the effort put in and the ease to amend our products. Can't thank them enough, well done Fifty Squid. You're a model business!
With Thanks,
Easirent Car Hire

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!

We used Squideo recently to develop an animation video on what research involves in our NHS Trust. This was the first time our team had been involved in a project like this. Squideo guided us through the process at each stage, letting us know what to expect - everything was clear and transparent. Squideo were great in addressing any feedback (which was a long process as we co-produced the video with support from a network of carers, staff and patients). It was a massive bonus to have unlimited revisions to the draft video. Pricing was very good value for money. The end result was great - the team really brought our ideas to life, they were professional but friendly, and responsive throughout. We have since recommended Squideo to other departments looking to develop videos; and would definitely approach them for future projects.

Squideo were simply amazing. From the initial point of contact, they were exceptionally contactable and understanding regarding our project. They very quickly understood our goal.
We were lucky to take advantage of an amazing offer that Squideo had on and boy did we get value for money. I'd strongly recommend if they have a deal on DO NOT DELAY. You will not be disappointed.
Jade & Mark were amazing, friendly and informative and successfully guided us through the whole process exceptionally well.
Squideo has a wide range of music, voiceovers and styles. I found that as I was able to style my own video as much as possible the concept was never lost as it could be with other competitors.
WE ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH OUR VIDEO, I RECOMMEND THAT IF YOU HAVE A VIDEO PROJECT BRING SQUIDEO GET ONBOARD, IT WILL BE THE BEST THING YOU DO FOR YOUR BUSINESS.
Looking forward to working with you again Squideo.

Common questions
What is an animated explainer video?
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.
Why use an animated explainer video production company?
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.
What opportunities are there when using an animated explainer video?
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.
Will using a video production company be money well spent?
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.
