ANIMATED EXPLAINER VIDEO
EXPLAIN WHAT YOU DO, WHY YOU MATTER OR HOW YOU’RE DIFFERENT
WHAT IS IT?
If you could take your best elevator pitch, add visuals, then press play, you’d have an Explainer Video. It’s the shortest, highest-octane explanation of what you do, why you matter, or how you’re different.
WHO IS IT FOR?
It’s for organizations with a product, service, idea, or cause that’s complex or confusing. After all, people will not buy what they don’t understand. Explainer Videos marry beauty with simplicity to create clarity.
And people love clarity.
THE BENEFITS OF AN EXPLAINER
INCREASED ADOPTION
When you create an “a-ha moment” in the mind of your prospect, you remove barriers. They move from skepticism to interest, making it easier for you to move them from interest to conversion.
TIME ON PAGE
Studies have found that landing pages with Explainer Videos get an 88% increase in time on site and, more importantly, an 80% increase in conversion.
MULTI-CHANNEL
An Explainer Video is useful just about everywhere. On your website as an always-on pitch machine. Centerstage in your email blasts. Part of the perfect sales presentation. Beside your booth at trade shows, and more. It’s a versatile asset designed for high mileage.

WHAT WE BRING
EXPERIENCE
Back before they were called “Explainer Videos”, people called them “Epipheos”. We’ve been creating Explainer Videos from the beginning and have produced thousands for some of the largest companies in the world.
RANGE
We hear it a lot. “Our thing is so complicated. How could you ever understand it enough to explain it to a 5 year old?” Well, there’s very little we haven’t dug into over the years. From big data to big pharma. From healthcare to heavy machinery. From toilet paper to totalitarianism. We’ve learned a lot, and come up the curve quicker than you might think.
On top of that, we provide a range of creative voices from playful to professional and everything in between. We’re no one-trick-pony. We do what’s right for your video.
Great experience with Product Marketing and Product Management to help with our explainer videos.
CASE STUDY: 5/3 BANK
PROBLEM: LEAD GENERATION
Fifth Third Private Bank serves clients with $1 million or more in assets. Foot traffic in financial centers is down, so generating leads is harder than ever. They rely heavily on phone calls and email campaigns, but they needed something else to boost results.
SOLUTION: ANIMATED EXPLAINER VIDEO
Embedded in their email campaign, an Explainer Video clarified the importance of reviewing and recalibrating financial plans. The call to action: schedule an annual review with their Fifth Third financial advisor.
RESULT: OVER 750 $1M LEADS
The most successful campaign in the Private Bank’s history. More than 750 qualified leads poured into financial advisors for annual review appointments.
Case Study: STD Check
PROBLEM: CONVERSION
STDCheck.com is a safe and secure site that allows customers to do a discreet STD test via mail. Their business depends solely on website orders, but the Explainer Video they had invested in wasn’t getting the job done. Most customers had already clicked off by the 5 second mark.
SOLUTION: ANIMATED EXPLAINER VIDEO
An empathetic Explainer Video connected the audience’s story with STDCheck.com’s service. We put the audience’s situation at the center of the video and kept it short.
RESULT: 7X BOOST IN CONVERSIONS
The video was crystal clear. So were the results: 7x increase in conversion over previous video.

What’s right for your project?
Videos come in many shapes, sizes, colors, and styles. We should know. We’ve created thousands of them. The question we always ask is, “What’s right for this story?” The visual approach should always serve the message, not the other way around.
Sometimes the answer is character animation. Other times it’s best to grab a camera and crew. And then there are times we turn to motion graphics and iconography. Check out our portfolio to see all the possibilities.
