advertising animation
Advertising has a purpose. Motion is there to help achieve it.
Advertising animation doesn't start with choosing a technique. First, we determine what the audience should see, remember, or do after engaging with the ad. Is the campaign meant to introduce a new product, highlight its advantages, build brand awareness, or drive action? Only then do we select the concept, style, and approach to motion. We create advertising animations in 2D, 3D, and motion design, and if the project requires it, we combine animation with live-action footage, CGI, or visual effects.
A product, a brand, or one specific message
Not every ad needs an elaborate story. Sometimes the product is what matters most. Other times, it’s the brand's personality, a promotion, or a single message that must be understood in seconds. We design the visual hierarchy and motion so the viewer knows exactly where to look and what to remember. This ensures the animation isn't just a decoration for the campaign, but a tool that works toward its goal.
One campaign, multiple touchpoints
Advertising animation can work across social media, YouTube, display/video campaigns, television, brand websites, or large-format screens. During the design phase, we can account for different aspect ratios, durations, and the way the content will be consumed in each specific channel.
What does animation bring to advertising?
It highlights what matters faster
Motion allows you to instantly direct attention to a product, benefit, or campaign message. Instead of showing everything at once, we can guide the audience in the exact order they should experience the message.
The product can take center stage
Animation allows you to showcase a product in ways that are difficult to achieve with traditional film: changing the scale, looking inside, highlighting details, or building an entire world around it. The form follows what we want to communicate about the product.
Creative should look like a brand, not an ad format
We don't rely on a single, pre-set style. We tailor the design, pacing, and use of motion to match your brand identity and personality, ensuring the advertising remains cohesive across every channel and format.
One idea can work across multiple channels
We can design the main creative from the start with various lengths, aspect ratios, and placements in mind. This allows a single campaign to evolve across social media, online video, websites, digital displays, and subsequent shorter formats.
From campaign goal to finished ad.
We start by defining what the advertisement needs to achieve, and only then do we select the concept, style, and technique. This ensures that every stage of production serves the same core message.
We talk to the client to understand their needs and goals. We analyze the brand, its values, and the target audience. Based on this, we select the type of animation that will best reflect the brand's values.
We create a script that forms the foundation of the story we want to tell. We prepare a storyboard, which is a visual representation of the scenes, along with a design and style proposal so the client can see what the final result will look like.
We create designs and illustrations to give your animation a unique character. Then, we bring them to life through animation and record voiceovers if needed.
We add sound, subtitles, and translations to ensure the animation is complete and accessible to a wider audience. Finally, we render the finished material to meet the highest quality standards.
When should you use advertising animation?
Animation works well when a product or message needs to be shown quickly and in a way that isn't limited by a traditional film set. It allows you to focus attention on specific product features, create your own visual world, simplify a message, or give a campaign a character that is difficult to achieve with static creative. It is also a good solution when a brand needs many versions of a single idea. The main creative can become a starting point for shorter formats, social media, different aspect ratios, or subsequent campaign installments.
2D, 3D, or motion design?
The technique should be determined by what we want to achieve. 2D offers great graphic freedom and works well for more illustrative communication. 3D allows for a realistic presentation of a product, its details, and how it works. Motion design can, in turn, leverage an existing brand language and translate it into dynamic advertising formats. We don't choose a technique just because it's currently trendy. We select it based on the product, the audience, and the campaign goal.
