#1 animated explainer video service in the UK
Nine of the things we get asked for most. Every one below is a real project — pick a type to watch it, or go through to more of the same.
Work.life
The workhorse. Sixty to ninety seconds that take something you can only currently explain in a meeting and make it land with someone who has never heard of you.

Built to be advertised behind. Shorter, punchier and cut for the feed, with the message doing its work in the first three seconds because that is all a scroll gives you.

Restrained, brand-accurate and safe to put in front of a board or a procurement team. The style does the reassuring so the script can get on with the argument.

Characters and warmth, for when the subject is dry and the audience is not obliged to care. Disarming rather than childish — it is a tone, not a target age.

Type, shape and rhythm rather than characters. The right answer when the story is a process or a number and a cast would only get in its way.

Data that moves. A chart in a deck asks people to work out why it matters; the same figures animated in order tell them, and they remember the order.

For physical products that have to look good enough to buy. Every angle, every ingredient and the inside of the box, animated to a finish a studio shoot would struggle to match, without the studio, the props or the reshoots.

Onboarding and training people will actually finish. Broken into short modules, paced for someone taking it in on a Tuesday afternoon rather than someone who chose to be there.

For schools, universities and research groups with something genuinely difficult to explain. Paced for retention rather than persuasion, and made to be watched twice.

The brief builder walks you through the same questions we'd ask on a kick-off call — what it's for, who it's for, and the one thing it has to land. Answer what you can; we can work from as little as a list of key points.
We're an independent, UK-based animated explainer video production company with a difference — the best 'quality to cost' ratio on the planet, from an in-house team who make animated video with digital marketing in mind.
Since 2015 we've produced over 5,000 explainer videos for every industry imaginable: shiny ultra-corporate pitches, cartoons, and everything in between.
Squideo were really easy to work with and have a very straightforward process for creating professional looking animations with a quick turnaround time too. I would certainly use them again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.
Very happy with the service and video we received from Squideo. The team were great to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Great video and great customer service ! Well done and thankyou to all at Squideo for providing us with this great sales tool for our company. You should be the first choice for anyone looking for a corporate video.
We recently used Squideo for a video project and we are incredibly pleased with the result. The team at Squideo have been nothing but helpful, and we would praise them highly on their turn around time and efforts to fit work into their busy schedules. We'd like to give a special mention to Callum who worked hard to make our project a success, and for whom nothing was ever too much trouble. We would highly recommend Squideo and look forward to working with them again in the future.
Brilliant - not much more I can say. From the creative to their management and turnaround. So, So happy with the results.
Great team. Fast, efficient, patient and creative. Also, really good value for money. I recommend Squideo for any marketing video content production requirement.
The team at Fifty-Squid did a fab job! I told them what I was after and they produced a fun and engaging explainer video for us. The process was super easy and the communication was great. As a matter of fact, everything turned out so well, we purchased another two videos to be produced! Do yourself a favour....if you need a service like this, Fifty-Squid is the ONLY place you need to look!
Great service, great videos. Recommended. (Toby Harris of Responsiva Limited)
Squideo are one of those companies that no matter how good they are you don’t want to tell anyone about them in case your competition finds out about them! From the top down they were a pleasure to deal with and they have produced me a video I’m over the moon with. The process is smooth slick and so well priced - this service isn’t usually availble to companies like mine because I’m priced out - Cue Squideo... Squideo smells of millennial spirit and this is fantastic - their energetic, young and modern team oooze passion and offer us a glimpse into the future of marketing - on board with them now before you get not only left behind but before they realise their services are worth a lot more money! Thank you team Squideo - I will see you on the next one.
Incredible Value for Money. We found this company through Twitter and contacted them for some advice which they were more than happy to give. The team have been helpful, professional and honest throughout and once we received our videos we were so happy with the quality. There was a slight worry the quality wouldn't be as good as expected due to the price being so low but we have been blown away both times with the effort put in and the ease to amend our products. Can't thank them enough, well done Fifty Squid. You're a model business! With Thanks, Easirent Car Hire
Great video made by really helpful chaps, as a nonprofit organisation we needed a little help getting our message just right on a tight budget and the team were very supportive.
We worked with Squideo on a number of projects on the pre opening of the Arena last summer and continue to do so. Such a creative, friendly team who put everything into each project. Going above and beyond each time. We've had a great response from each video the team created for us... from the security information which we use before each show to announcements for new events. Looking forward to continuing to work with the team for more future projects - Bonus Arena, Hull

Animated explainer videos are short online marketing videos used to explain a company's story, product or services, often in a memorable way. They allow information or a service to be explained in a clear and succinct way and are a great method of communicating with a target audience in a short and simple way.
Animated videos are a much more cost-effective and accessible method of video production. More companies than ever are choosing animated video over live action (filmed) content, which involves additional costs such as actors, filming equipment and location costs. With animated video, updates and tweaks are seamless and straightforward.
Successfully promoting your business or services requires something impactful. The attention span of potential customers can often be limited, and they are more inclined to watch a video than to read a pitch about your services.
Getting someone to click on your explainer video is only part of the marketing battle. Once you've got a potential customer watching, you want to ensure they stay the course so that your marketing message can hit home.
An explainer video should be easily understandable and cut through the jargon. It should not be overly long, nor should it be a hard sell.
For many companies, embracing the services of an animated video production company for the first time can be daunting. After all, you don't know that your outlay is going to bring a return on your investment.
A well-produced video can gain you traction whatever channels you promote it through — whether it is hosted on your own website or elsewhere on the likes of YouTube or Vimeo.
Include your video in an introductory company email and you can boost your click-through rates. Use it to reach customers on social media and you can be sure it is targeted to your core audience.
If growing your business, increasing your brand awareness and improving your conversion rate is your goal, then a video agency could be key to helping you achieve this. Video should not be underestimated as a way to achieve some of your key goals.
Quality, well-planned video production doesn't have to cost you your entire marketing budget. Costs will depend on your requirements — but remember, cheaper is not always best, as a low-quality video could have the opposite impact and damage your brand.
