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 — 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

I’ve used squideo to create a informative quick intro into my business for customers to understand easily what we do and can offer. This has been invaluable as it’s so much quicker to watch a video than read. And it has early signs of showing higher engagement along my socials. Thanks guys top work.

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.

We requested 2 very short videos for ad campaigns and it went through two phases. The first draft and second draft. By the second draft, the videos were pretty much complete and ready for use online. I've recently placed an order for a longer format video to explain a corporate service. I wouldn't have placed that order if the first 2 short videos weren't up to such a high standard. Price : great Quality: great Comms: good Time frame: exceptional Results: Very slick, professional and to brief
