We love a brand that wants to make a difference, but you’ll struggle to get people to notice the work you’re doing if they don’t recognise your branding.
This is why when we are helping companies to build their brand we always try and encourage them to create a branded animation at the end.
Not only will it shine a light on the brilliant work you do, but also on that beautiful new brand that you’ve worked so hard to bring to life.
(it’s also a great opportunity to build an even stronger set of brand guidelines with your very own bespoke illustrations.)

F. Your audience will have all the answers, making a consumer 75% more likely to make a purchase.
