What our clients say
Brilliant team to work with, very pleased with their product and professionalism.
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've worked with Squideo on multiple occasions over the last 3 years, they've created both Videos and Gifs for me, and not once have they even nearly disappointed. Customer experience all the way through to the final product is spot on and their pricing is exceptionally competitive. We will be using their services again for sure!
Top company to work with. They deliver on time and are more than happy to help with any additional issues that crop up. We're delighted with the final video.
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 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.
Super fast service and amazing video! We are really pleased. They matched everything exactly to how we wanted it :)
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!
Excellent service. Very easy to choose my style of video, sound, voice-over etc and then they managed to understand very clearly what I required based on my script and storyboard. The draft version was pretty much spot-on and only needed minor changes to get to final version. Friends and family who've seen the finished product are very impressed, as am I. Would heartily recommend Squideo. Kevin from TaxiPals
Squideo is an excellent company and very easy to work with. Jade and Callum handled my video production and they were great from beginning to end. Jade listened very well and was able to create an impressive first draft from just one initial conversation on the phone, then Callum translated her instructions into a very nice video. They were also very accommodating with making the initial edits and understood exactly what I needed changed. Squideo will be my video production company for life!
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.

Why Create Animated Videos?
Well, let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good animation? Animation can allow you to be creative and make what you do appealing. An animated video can allow you to say what you need to in a concise way, needing just a short amount of animated time that might otherwise have taken many words and minutes to explain. An animated video allows you to use all the advantages that video brings to your marketing efforts, and by making it animated gives it unique appeal that will make your video stand out from your competitors. An animated video helps you communicate effectively with customers about your brand, products or services. A quality animated video can be highly effective. It can allow you to explain your products and services in a way that will appeal to most people, especially those with a short attention span! Animated videos are a cost-effective way of generating a ROI, and they are far cheaper and more convenient than making a live action video which would require so much more in the way of budget and planning. Animated videos can also potentially be re-visited if they need updating, whereas a video involving live people can be difficult to update, especially if it involves people who no longer work for your company or products that are obsolete.
What is an Animated Video?
An animated video is a short video used by a business to succinctly explain their products or services to customers. It is an opportunity for a business to introduce themselves or a product or service in a memorable way through an appealing and attention grabbing animation. Animated videos can be used to guide customers through a process with an easily understandable explainer video. An animated video can be a cost effective way of saying what you want to say to customers in the very short window you have their attention. It is very important to get this animated video right as you generally only get one opportunity to impress a potential customer, so the choice of who you get to make your animated video can be vital. A poorly made animation can do more harm than good.

Here at Squideo, our talented team of animators are well aware of what should work well for our clients, including those in your sector. We know that you want a video that looks impressive and represents your brand well, but most importantly you want an animated video that is appealing, serves a real purpose, and delivers on your aims to help your business grow.
How to plan a successful animated video
For an animated video to be a success, it needs a good concept that captures the attention of a viewer (and potential customer). It should have a clear target audience and deliver your message as well as providing a call to action in terms of what the viewer should do next having watched your video, whether that be signing up, making a purchase, or something else. When you start out planning your video, you need to have a good idea of what would constitute a good return on the money you have spent on the video and marketing it. Maybe your aim is just brand awareness, or perhaps you want to promote a specific product or service. With clear and achievable goals for your video, you won’t properly be able to measure its success.
What are the components of a good animated video?
A good animated video will be one that achieves your aims. It should not be overly long or it would run the risk of being a complete turn off. A successful animated video is one that is: Animated videos are a great way to inject some personality into something that could ordinarily be quite dull. They can make your company appear more real and trustworthy to a potential customer, whether your video is their first exposure to your company or they are trying to find out more about a particular product or service.

What makes a good animated video maker?
Choosing an animated video company shouldn’t be purely about cost. If you set out to find the cheapest then you are almost certainly setting your video project to fail before you’ve even started. A low-quality animated video won’t hold anyone’s attention and will likely do more harm than good, and could be especially damaging to your brand. An animated video maker that at first appears cheap, may not actually be the great deal that you think you are getting, as there may be hidden costs tacked on later. Costs such as script writing, revisions and other amends may be charged for additionally, making what at first seemed a bargain become nothing of the sort. You want a company that deals with video production themselves rather than outsourcing to a third party. Having to deal with a third party can make communication difficult, meaning that your video can take much longer to produce than you had anticipated. When it comes to choosing an animated video production company, you want to give the task to a company that carries an excellent reputation. Squideo are highly rated on Trustpilot so you can be certain that if you choose us you will have chosen a company that will best present your brand before potential customers. A well experienced animated video maker will likely have knowledge of the sector in which you operate so will have a good idea of what is most likely to appeal to your target audience. They will be able to draw upon what has and hasn’t worked previously to get the best possible outcome for you.

How effective are animated videos?
A quality animated video can be a great addition to your marketing armoury. Video, and especially animated video, has the potential to grab people and then hold their attention, so you can have the opportunity to properly explain your offer. When people are presented with an option to watch a video about a product of service, they will generally choose that over reading through a brochure or other promotional literature. Animated video is especially useful when the attention span of people is generally shrinking and the majority are more used to flicking through videos on Facebook and Youtube than they are leafing through a broadsheet newspaper! If you have a product or service that can be difficult to explain, an animated video can sometimes be the perfect way to get across your message in an engaging yet concise way. The most effective animated videos are those that are both appealing yet not overly long. Engagement with an animated video can boost time on your site and reduce bounce rates, while video hosted elsewhere can be a great driver of traffic to your own website. And it’s what happens once someone views your animated video that is the true measure of success. Unless your main aim is trying to increase brand awareness, it’s when people follow through with a sign up, purchase or some other action that you will truly be able to measure the effectiveness of your animated videos.
How much is an animated video likely to cost?
Animated videos do not have to be overly costly and the price you pay will depend on a number of factors. Firstly, you need to understand the main purpose of your video. If it is an exercise in increasing brand awareness, perhaps on your home page, then you may be able to have a video of around a minute or so which could explain what you offer in a concise manner. However, if you are looking to explain the finer details of a product or service then it is possible that you may need an animated video of greater length in order that you can properly explain things. The more complex your animated video requirements, the greater the cost, and if you are in a hurry and need your video creating in a relatively short space of time, this can increase the costs to you. It is worth bearing mind that shorter animated videos tend to work best and this is because this increases the chances of a customer reaching the end of it and seeing your call to action, whether that is to make a purchase or do some follow up action such as signing up or viewing another web page or even another video. Your message will dictate the length of your animated video and therefore cost. If you are planning an animated video for social media, we would suggest a short video of around 15 seconds, whereas a video for your landing pages or placement on Youtube would likely be longer and more costly.
How can I get the best return from my animated video?
A good animated video can be an effective part of your marketing efforts when used to its full potential. Your video can be seen not only on your own website but can also be effective when used across a range of other platforms. At Squideo, we are not just animated video makers. We can help you maximise your return on investment through pay-per-click campaigns, search engine optimisation and other services to help your animated videos reach their target audience. Increased visibility can also be achieved through use of video hosting platforms Youtube and Vimeo whose potential audience is vast and provides opportunities that should be capitalised upon. We have vast experience in these areas so are able help your business achieve its objectives, whether you want animated video to help boost your brand profile or are looking to promote your products and services to people who have already invested some time in what your company has to offer. Through a combination of quality animated video and marketing services we can give your business the uplift you are looking for.
