Video animation services




In the past years, more and more companies have started to invest in animation services. It’s no secret why, as they’re including this type of content in their marketing strategies because nothing performs as well when it comes to conveying a brand’s message and connecting with customers.

The only issue is that as more brands continue to turn to animation-centered content strategies, the level of competition ramps up! Making it harder to stand out and make an impression on your audience… 

Unless you team up with a company that provides world-class video animation services, that is 😉.

So, with that in mind, I’ve put together a shortlist of 20 companies that have mastered the art of making brands come alive through video. Hopefully, by the time you are done reading, you will be able to start your next animated project with a handful of more-than-excellent options!

How to Choose the Best Video Animation Services

Besides getting great results, animation provides a fresh take that can help brands spice up their content with beautiful and engaging pieces. Both marketers and audiences love it. So, it’s no wonder that so many companies have popped up recently to try and meet this growing demand. 

However, after many years of working in this field and partnering up with brands from all around the world, we’ve learned that not every service can rise to the occasion! To capture a brand’s identity and its core message in an animated video that delivers results aligned with your marketing goals, you need talent, skills, and creativity!

So, as I put together this list, I came to the conclusion that good video companies had five things in common:

  • Quality & Expertise: As a demonstration of their capabilities, experience, and professionalism, great video companies have a strong, creative, and high-quality portfolio
  • Communication: Outstanding video animation services also have a smooth and fluid communication process between the provider and the client. Ensuring a smooth collaboration while avoiding any issues or delays.
  • Customization: Each brand is unique, and any professional video agency should understand that. In the digital landscape, it’s very important to develop tailor-made pieces that reflect a client’s identity and message. These words are written in stone: Generic content is a big no-no. 
  • Feedback: Few things provide more insight into how a company works as previous customer reviews do. Excellent video companies display comments and third-party feedback that validate how they work.
  • Price: Cheaper companies usually work with temples and cut corners in the quality department, but the most expensive animation services don’t necessarily guarantee great results!

When you are on the video hunt, it’s important to find a company that can deliver the quality that your business needs at a budget that works for you.

Video Animation Best Practices

While every company has its own secrets on how to make great video animations, there are some key practices everyone has to follow to create effective pieces:

  • Define the target audience: Find the ideal customer for your business and find out as much as you can about them. If you’re doing a survey, ask about demographics such as their age, nationality, work, and so on. Then, learn about their interests and pain points so you can tailor your video to show them precisely why a person like them would use your product.
  • Be concise: Always keep the focus on your core message and ensure the video is no longer than 2 minutes. Otherwise, you risk losing your audience before you can even deliver your message.
  • Don’t go overboard with video animation: Sometimes, less is more. If your video is cluttered with visuals, your viewers will most likely get distracted and miss any important information you want to convey.

 

Summing Up

Reaching out to your audience and making an impact on them is often difficult to achieve. That being said, few things can stand toe to toe with a high-quality animated video developed by a skilled and professional video animation service company.

And finding that skilled provider is no joke! There are many things that need to be taken into account to find the right one for you!

The good news is that now you have ten amazing companies that can help your search start on the right foot. Each of them with the talent and experience your projects require to jump from your imagination into a cool marketing video you can use.

Best of luck in your search!
