What we make

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.

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.

Free · Online Brief Builder

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.

  • Saves as you type, so you can stop halfway and come back whenever
  • Twenty-five questions, and only five that really matter
  • Ends with a document any production company could work from
  • Free, no card, and no password to remember

Squideo have just produced a brilliant video for a new product about to be launched. We wanted a video that was distinctive, with content that shows the product features in a really interesting way. And Squideo delivered! From understanding our brief, through to presenting ideas and ultimatley producing a great video, I would recommend Squideo to any business looking to work with an agency that gives 100% service standards and offers a superb product and value for money. We will definitely be back!!

From the start we have used Fifty Squid for our corporate animated videos. Their service has been excellent in taking the time to understand our business and the needs of the videos. Video production has always been prompt and ‘ticked the boxes’ of what we wanted them to do. We’ve always felt the lines of communication were open (although we didn’t need them) for amendments and changes to videos. We will continue to use Fifty Squid in the future and look forward to seeing what else they produce for us! Sutcliffe Consulting Engineers

Callum at Fifty Squid was a pleasure to work with. He has a great talent for creativity but moreover was flexible, easy to talk to and kept me updated the whole time. I will definitely be using again. Thank you so much. Will be using again

Bonus Hull Arena

We worked with Squideo on a number of projects on the pre opening of the Arena last summer and continue to do so. Such a creative, friendly team who put everything into each project. Going above and beyond each time. We've had a great response from each video the team created for us... from the security information which we use before each show to announcements for new events. Looking forward to continuing to work with the team for more future projects - Bonus Arena, Hull

Great system and really positive guys to work with!

Andrew Steele

Both of our businesses have used Fifty Squid to produce corporate videos and we could not be happier. The process is quick, simple (and extremely good value for money) and the results were stunning. We could not be happier and look forward to using them again in the very near future.

What a fabulous company from start to finish! The team at Squideo listened intently, and understood completely the message we wanted to portray, and our target audience. Everyone here agreed that the end result was absolutely spot on; informative, reassuring with a dash of humour! We'll definitely use Squideo again!

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.
