Animation

At Browndog, we consider every aspect of your marketing strategy to help you to maximise brand awareness and increase your conversions.

There’s no denying that animated marketing content has been on the rise for many years, allowing you to reach your customers in new ways, for greater engagement.

Animation is a powerful marketing tool. It helps you connect with your customers, makes you more memorable and engages your audience leading to a higher conversion rate. We should also mention that Google loves it!

Video is all around us. In 2022, people in the UK spend on average 5 hours and 16 minutes per day watching audio-visual content. So, if you’re not connecting with your customers using animation, why not?

Why is animation an important element of your strategy?

Animations help you to easily share ideas, products and services. That’s why making them a part of your marketing and communications strategy works; it offers you an avenue to reach your audience in a way that works for them.

Every great marketing strategy should include a broad range of content and audience touch points.

Did you know that the human mind loves visual content and processes it 60,000 times faster than text? (Source) Maybe that’s why statistics have shown that adding media to a page can increase conversions by up to 100%.

What kind of animations can we help with?

When deciding on the right video style for your marketing strategy, it’s important to consider what you are hoping to achieve with the content. As part of our approach, the first thing we will do is discuss your options with you and offer our advice. 

There are multiple types of animation and video formats depending on the messaging that you want to share and the platform that you want to share it on. We’ll also consider the audience and how they like to see your content.

Why is animation an important element of your content strategy?

Not only is it effective but using animation can be a cost-saving way to grab the attention of your audience and keep them looking at your content for longer. It’s considerably cheaper than producing recorded video footage because it can be easily edited and updated when needed.

Animation is the fastest growing type of content created by marketers for use on websites and social media, so if you’re not doing it yet, now is the time to start…

We understand that sometimes it can be difficult to explain complex ideas, products or services in text form or with images. That’s why many of our clients work with us to produce animations that take the information off the page and jump out at the audience.

Most importantly, animation has been proven to boost conversion rates on your website. Users are significantly more engaged and more likely to spend longer on your site or complete an action, such as filling in a contact form.

How will animation help my marketing strategy?

Animation is a powerful marketing tool and a great way to show some personality in your brand, making you more memorable (think: the Aldi carrot or the Netflix Tudum).

One of the great benefits of animation is that it can help you to share a lot of information in just a few seconds, because sometimes that’s all the time you have to attract a user’s attention.

What kind of animations can we help with?

Ideally, your marketing strategy will include a range of media content to achieve the greatest engagement and response from your audience.

We can help with animations and videos that include company and product introductions, as well as content for specific marketing campaigns. These types of animations can showcase who you are, and what you have to offer. Plus, they are an exciting way to launch a new product or service and get your customers on board.

When you work with us on your branding, why not include a logo ident to add that extra bit of personality to your business and content, setting you apart from your competitors.

Another growing area for animated content is social media and your website. We produce gifs, short video clips and motion graphics for use on web pages and in social posts. This is a great way to captivate the viewers’ attention, share your brand values and advertise your latest campaign or event.

Finally, when you work with us on your website, we highly recommend adding a range of graphics, animations and videos to keep visitors on your site and share your messaging in captivating ways. We’ve provided many website banners and short looping animations for our clients.

We will guide you through each of your animation journey, from assessing the content that will work best for you, to how long your animated content should be and where it should be placed.

How much does it cost?

  • A marketing campaign animation or company/product introduction between 90-120 seconds in length will cost between £2,500 and £3,000. This will depend on the length of the video, the content, and any additional options such as a voice over or music. Don’t worry, we can guide you through best practice and find a plan that fits for you.
  • If you’d like us to produce a logo ident or gif animations for you to use on social media and in smaller campaigns, you can expect to pay between £250-£300. This will be a much smaller brief and will take less time than a campaign animation.
  • We’re more than happy to put together a bespoke package for you to include multiple campaign videos, logo idents, voice overs and photography or videography as needed. We do it all!

You can look at our catalogue of work here and chat with our clients if you’d like to get a feel for what it’s like to work with our team before we become partners in your project. 

How long does it take to produce an animation?

But here’s the kind of time you can expect your animation to take:

  • Marketing campaign animations – this will usually take us about three weeks to prepare. We like to allow a week for content and styling, followed by storyboarding and revisions. Finally, we’ll take another week to animate your work. These things are a work of art, you can’t rush them (and we won’t).
  • Logo idents, gifs and short animations – we estimate that this will take up to two weeks.
