Let’s Educate and Entertain

There are several different types of animation that can suit every business. We’ve listed some of the top techniques for animations and how they can be used:

• The small and subtle animation (Gif)
  An example of this could be a moving logo or quirky icons which can be used across your website, social channels and e-newsletters. This method removes the feeling of having static and flat content. 

• The explainer video
  Suppose your business is bursting with unique and excellent products but lacks the communication skills to present them. Using an explainer video is an excellent visual method that keeps your brand at the forefront while educating the audience about your product interestingly and visually.

• Short animated stories
  Storytelling and incorporating characters allows the audience to connect to your brand. This method gives businesses the chance to convey the message and tell the story and process of their services in a relatable way. 

• Kinetic Typography / Video Infographics
  The style of ‘moving text’ and visually impacting graphics. Using this form of medium is seen as the new PowerPoint if you have facts, figures, and key information you want to promote this does it in an informative and interesting way. You’ll find your audience grasp the analytics faster.

• Whiteboard animation
  This is the process by which an author physically draws and records an illustrated story. The video is designed to look like the content is being hand-drawn on a school whiteboard. It’s a popular way to communicate more complicated information because the simple graphics are easy to absorb and memorable.

• Tutorials
  Youtube is swarming with them, there’s a tutorial for anything and everything these days. Animated videos can also be used for training and tutorial purposes not just to educate your audience, but they are a useful tool to be used within the business.

Some people believe that creating ‘cartoons’ and using methods such as explainer videos will take away their reputability and professionalism… This is just not the case if they are carefully considered and purposeful.

Here’s why:

They Quickly convey your message

One of the key benefits of using animation to engage with your audience is conveying your message or product quickly.

With the help of an animated video, you can explain the purpose and functionality of your product in an easy to understand way.

In a short video, you can show off how your product works, the features and benefits and how working with you will truly benefit them.

They Boost search rankings and Improve SEO
