Studies have show that viewers are almost two-thirds more likely to retain information when watching one great video rather than reading something like a fold-out brochure.
Standpoint Agency are a brand messaging company and after working with billion dollar brands such as Gillette and Herbal Essences, they decided it would be a great idea to incorporate a video explainer as part of their new marketing strategy.
“We needed to create an animated video that illustrated what our company does in very simple but entertaining ways. Startup Video developed the animated video for us. The result of working with them is that we now have a video that shows the world what we do. In this YouTube world, it’s not enough just to tell consumers what you do. You must show them, and that’s what this tool allows us to do.
I would tell others who are considering hiring them that Startup Video is a delight to work with. They worked with us iteratively over the course of several weeks to develop a video that was exactly what we wanted. they work efficiently and courteously, taking feedback well and incorporating it into the final product. Hire these peeps!”
Olivia Smith of Fit Ticket, a leader in Australia’s booming bootcamp fitness industry, came to Startup Video for help to better market to potential clientelle . She specifically wanted a video that would benefit her business in terms of “brand awareness, give clarity to how it works, and attract more affiliates.”
After understanding what she needed, we got right into action and assisted her with writing a script. After the script was done, we had an Australian male record her voiceover. Olivia wanted to demonstrate how the tone, tempo and inflections should be like so she recorded us a demo from her Blackberry
and then the artist’s take.
So then we got started on her Storyboard.
Olivia wanted to change a few things like the illustrative style of the characters for example, so we happily incorporated those changes.
they absolutely bent over backwards to bring it in on time and budget
Olivia comments on her experience: “Nick and the team at StartupVideo.net recently produced a 60 second animation for my business, and they absolutely bent over backwards to bring it in on time and budget. They offer a fast, efficient service and make a real effort to understand your needs and execute accordingly.”

OK Minilager is an large Norwegian services company, offering an easy storage solution. Our self-service system is simple, but it is new to the general public. We were struggling with communicating how the system works. We had all the information
available on the website, but people tended to call us to get it explained over phone. This was a really time consuming burden for us.
We tried to make a video on our own with a video recorder and a basic video editor. In the process we soon realized that we needed to get professional help. We simply could´nt get the video to look professional.
To put a homemade video on the front page on our website could actually be more negative than positive.
I was browsing for a company to help us build an online payment solution. There were a lot of options available on the market, but we chooe a company which were able to communicate how their service worked in an effective way.
Afterwards I realized that the video explainer on their website was actually what separated them from the rest. It was both educating and entertaining and told us the info we really needed when we were in the browsing stage.
