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

Three details and you're in. Nothing to install, nothing to pay.

Mick Silver

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.

Why use an intro video company?

The use of video is a key part of a good marketing strategy, but your video needs to be a quality production for it to be effective and provide a good return on your investment. By using a trusted intro video company, like Squideo, will increase your chance of ensuring a quality product that will have the effect you desire. Having worked with many different different companies across multiple sectors, we have helped them transform their business and boost sales through effective use of video. We will provide you with an intro video that looks the part, whether it is outlining your business to a completely new potential customer for the first time, or explaining the specifics of a new product or service. A poorly produced intro video can often do more harm than good and take up a good chunk of your marketing budget. When you often only have one chance of grabbing a customer’s attention, you want to make sure that you have a professionally produced intro video that is going to be effective.

Are intro videos really worth it?

A well executed intro video can have real impact and provide a good return on your investment. The majority of companies using intro videos will see a positive impact through an almost immediate increase in brand awareness, sales, sign ups and other conversion targets. With a professional team behind your animated intro video, you’ll avoid much of the headache that comes with trying to create your own using a DIY video intro maker solution. Getting an intro video right isn’t easy when you try to do it yourself, and many times companies have done more harm than good with a poorly planned and executed video. Engaging the services of a company, like Squideo, ensures that you have a decent script which is the foundation of a good intro video. Naturally, people are drawn to video, and if yours tells your story or conveys your information in an attractive and engaging way, this is what makes an intro video a great medium for getting your message across.

What are the benefits of using an animated intro video?

Use of an intro video can have an overall positive impact on your brand. With some personality injected into your intro video, it can get across the information you need to in a short time period while at the same making your business appear more human and trustworthy to potential customers.. Intro videos can expand your reach and have great potential for use in social media campaigns. Aside from an obvious spike in conversions and sales, you’ll also benefit from improved metrics on your website including increased time and reduced bounce rates on your website as well as an overall boost in your site’s search engine rankings. If you’ve invested the time and money to get an animated intro video then getting the maximum return from it is essential. Squideo can help achieve that through complementary services such as PPC and SEO.

How much will an animated intro video cost?

Probably far less than you think. An intro video doesn’t need to be overly long or complex as this could prove a turn off to viewers, and this would have a bearing on the costs of your video. The main purpose, length, complexity, and timescale for delivery, will all have a bearing on cost. If the intention of your intro video is intended to provide an overview of your company’s services to an entirely new customer, then a video of around 1-2 minutes would usually suffice, whereas if you outlining the specifics of a product or service in much greater detail, a video of much greater length and detail may be required. Generally, the longer the video, the greater the cost. An intro video does not have to be long to have impact, and often with video, it’s a case of the simpler the better, as this increases the likelihood of a viewer getting to the end of it and seeing your call to action. We can tailor your video to your requirements to ensure that you stay within your budget, yet still have an intro video that delivers results.
