LAURA BLACKBURN
“Graphic design and animation can have many benefits for businesses when used well, so I created B Animated to help companies tap into that potential. “Our mission is simple – to use our expertise in animation to help businesses get the best results.” One of B Animated’s most popular client services is the creation of high-quality animated explainer videos, which can explain a product or service in clear and simple terms. Laura added: “An explainer video is a short, animated
video, which helps businesses detail what they can offer more quickly and clearly. “Animated explainer videos can work particularly well for clients who have something technical they need to communicate, as they break things down into more simple terms. “Because they are eyecatching and engaging, they are perfect for helping customers to better understand what a business does and what it can do for them.” Other services offered by the team include the creation of character animation,
animated logos and social media graphics – all designed to help brands engage with their audiences and stand out from the competition. Laura added: “Animation can make a really big impact with an audience, and we love working with our clients to bring their vision to life. “When it comes to design and animation, we appreciate every client is different, but what never changes is our personal approach. “Whatever the project, from initial discussions through to creating a storyboard, concept creation and bringing the finished project to life – we are here every step of the way. “We’ve had a fantastic first three years in business and are now looking forward to building on that in the future. “There are some exciting plans in the pipeline, so watch this space.” Web: banimated.co.uk Email: info@banimated.co.uk Tel: 01226 720 774
