Thanks to the Pixelz team we carried out the impossible. A small, sharp but impactful project. Made all the better by Pat's ability to understand the essence of the project quickly and add his storytelling, logistics and technical talent and experience.Whether it was filming our ad, producing live multi-camera events or live-casting online, Pat's network could do it, do it well, do it fast, and do it calmly with smiles on their faces.

We've worked with Thunder::tech to replace our cooperative's website. They have delivered as promised and more than expected in a professional and timely manner. Their team members are creative, technical and professional experts. We're looking forward to working on a second phase of the project with them starting soon. T::T is big enough a agency that they have multiple experts on the team with overlapping knowledge to get the job done, but not such a huge company where one might get lost as a client. As a web and digital media pro with 20+ years of experience, I recommend Thunder::tech. - JF

Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish.I chose Digital Consulting over larger, more established companies because of their personal approach, responsiveness, and genuine interest in understanding exactly what I needed - and it was the best decision I could have made.Their professionalism and communication were exceptional throughout the entire process. I was always kept in the loop, and nothing ever felt too much to ask. They delivered a final product that not only met my expectations but truly exceeded them.What really stood out to me is how much they care about their work and their clients. You simply don’t get this level of attention and dedication from bigger agencies.On top of all that, the value for money was incredible. I’m extremely satisfied and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality, reliable web development.

Reese Noell's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Explainify was one of the best creative investments we’ve made so far.The video turned out phenomenal. It cuts through the noise and speaks to anyone, straight to the point, in a way our audience instantly understands. What really stood out from the start was the sales call with Grant — it didn’t feel like a sales pitch at all. He was laid back, clear, and made it easy for someone like me, who’s new to the business world, to really understand the process. He genuinely felt like he wanted what was best for us. And the production itself? Communication was the bread and butter. Julia was excellent — clear, responsive, and always on point. The whole experience felt smooth from start to finish.As a newly launched company, having a video that instantly communicates what we do was a game-changer — it’s already making an impact for Local Rentz.

The Aurora team continues to be an amazing partner. Scott Davies went above and beyond to ensure we had what we needed after a seemingly impossible client request landed on our laps. Scott was in the trenches with us as we navigated client feedback and expectations. I had every confidence that he would deliver, just as he said he would. We would not have gotten through this latest project without him!

Simply Thrilled is one of the best video production companies I have had the pleasure of working with. They definitely aren’t your usual video agency. They actually listened to me and my team and offered smart ideas which made the whole process feel easy. The promo video they created was spot on. It looked great and massively helped engagement for our campaign. They know how to deliver so I can safely recommend if you need quality promotional content that gets results.

Animation Company Hiring Guide
What is an animation company?
An animation company is a specialized company that creates animated content using traditional hand-drawn animation, computer-generated imagery (CGI), stop-motion, and more. It produces diverse visual media, such as feature films, television shows, commercials, video games, and digital web content.
By combining artistic skills with advanced technology, it brings characters and stories to life. It caters to diverse industries like entertainment, advertising, education, and corporate communications, helping businesses convey complex ideas and narratives compellingly and memorably.
Animation companies include producers, creative and technical directors, storyboard artists, character designers, animators, editors, 3D modeling specialists, and other support staff.
Through their structured approach and creative expertise, they address various business challenges, such as:
- Lack of clear messaging, storytelling, and explanation for complex concepts
- Struggles with brand differentiation
- Limited advertising impact
- Insufficient engagement with educational content
- Weak emotional connection with audiences
An increasing number of marketers recognize the effectiveness of animated content in attracting intended audiences and improving their key performance indicators (KPIs). Notably, 42.5% report a significant increase in social success metrics, 34.5% observe longer average time spent on websites, and 28.5% note a boost in click-through rates (CTR) due to animations.
Success Story
To reinforce these points, our agency experts recommend a case study from Prolific Studio, demonstrating how animation companies transform creative visions into captivating content that strengthens a brand's impact:
- Challenge: LT & Friends envisioned an entertaining and informative 3D animated rap video for children. It needed to capture the attention of this specific audience while delivering positive messages.
- Solution: Prolific Studio's team of creative animators conducted detailed research to understand the target viewers' developmental stages, preferences, and interests. Based on this, they combined fun animation with music to convey and instill values. The process included testing and optimization by showing sequences to a sample audience and implementing their feedback to ensure the final product would resonate well.
- Results: The 3D animated rap video exceeded the client's expectations and captivated young viewers' attention. LT & Friends' brand manager reported that it went viral with 5 to 12-year-olds, the target demographic. The video became one of LT & Friends' best-performing content pieces, achieving high engagement and increased merchandise sales.
What do animation companies do?
Animation companies create moving visual content ranging from simple cartoons to complex, high-quality 3D animations. These professional agencies create characters, objects, and environments that bring brand stories to life by expertly blending artistry and technology. They serve diverse industries, providing animated content that enhances marketing and instructional experiences across various media platforms.
Their crucial service offers encompass:
- 2D animation
Animation production companies craft traditional hand-drawn or digital animations for TV shows, commercials, and educational videos. This process involves creating images that simulate movement when displayed rapidly. - 3D animation
They develop lifelike animations with depth, which are used in feature films, video games, and virtual reality (VR). This involves modeling and rendering to create three-dimensional objects and characters. - Motion graphics
Combining graphic design with animation, these agencies create dynamic visuals typically used in ads, title sequences, and informational videos. This service animates text, logos, and other graphic components for better visual communication. - Character design and development
Animation companies create concept art and character models to ensure personalities and figures are ready for animation. - Storyboarding and pre-visualization
They plan and envision scenes before full production to give clients a preview of the final product, ensuring alignment with project objectives. - Visual effects (VFX)
Animation production companies add realistic and fantastical elements to live-action footage to create scenes impractical to shoot in real life. - Post-production services
They edit and fine-tune the animated content, adding sound effects, music, and voiceovers.
Success Story
To illustrate the real-world application of animation services, our subject matter experts share this case study from ByteChimp:
- Challenge: Automated Intelligent Marketing (AIM), an insurance software aimed to boost website conversion rates. It wanted an animated explainer video to simplify technical concepts for its clientele and promote its insurance products. Thus, AIM approached ByteChimp because of its expertise in 2D animation, which enhances brand recognition and reduces support queries.
- Solution: ByteChimp's creative strategists, project managers, sketch artists, illustrators, and animators crafted intricate frame designs, characters, scenes, and real-life imagery in a unique metaverse style. It revised sketches based on AIM's feedback and refined voiceovers until they matched the video's aesthetic perfectly.
- Results: The final product was a 90-second 2D animated video that addressed common customer questions and issues. The animation project reached a broader audience and bolstered AIM's brand presence.
How much do animation production companies charge for their services?
Animation production companies typically charge $25 to $150 per hour, depending on the video type, project complexity, output quality, length, and number of revisions.
For instance, high-quality animated videos generally cost between a few thousand and tens of thousands of dollars. For example, a simple 30-second explainer video might cost $2,500-$5,000, while a more complex 2-minute video with custom characters and special effects can exceed $20,000.
Expect to spend $2,500-$10,000+ per minute for 2D animation, with 3D animation costing 2-4 times more.
The agency's team size and expertise also affect the per-minute pricing, as follows:
| Mid-tier (With two-three team members) | $3,000-$7,000 |
| Professional level (With a pre- and post-production crew) | $8,000-$25,000 |
| Broadcast-level | $25,000-$100,000+ |
The top 50 animation companies on DesignRush charge an average of $138 per hour. 18.3% of these firms accept projects under $1,000, catering to independent creators, startups, and small businesses looking to produce high-quality animations on a limited budget. Meanwhile, 1.6% undertake projects with a $50,000 minimum budget, offering complex customizations for optimal viewer engagement and brand storytelling.
Why should I hire an animation production company?
You should hire an animation production company because it can enhance your project with professional expertise, high-quality production, and creative storytelling while ensuring cost efficiency. A professional studio can contribute experience, resources, and talent to achieving your goals for marketing and entertainment, among other purposes.
Hiring an animation production company is advantageous for your business because it:
- Has intensively trained artists, writers, designers, and directors who can create well-crafted animations with professional finesse
- Develops unique storylines by translating ideas into memorable narratives with impactful messaging
- Uses advanced tools and technologies to ensure the final output meets your specific requirements and the industry standards
- Ensures the visuals, characters, and themes are consistent with your brand's identity and values, strengthening recall and coherence across different media
- Overcomes technical limitations with efficient and creative solutions
- Provides a comprehensive production service, including sound design and voiceover for the project's overall quality
- Has access to a large network of voice actors, sound designers, and other creative professionals
- Handles projects of any size and complexity
- Ensures timely delivery and quality control
- Saves you significant expenses for software, equipment, and training while achieving superior results
Success Story
In the following example, selected by our agency specialists at DesignRush, we can see all the benefits of collaboration with an animation company. This case study demonstrates how By The Booth used its animations to launch and promote Ddrops’ products in the international market.
- Challenge: Ddrops, a health and wellness brand, wanted to enhance its visual identity while maintaining its established integrity. It wanted to expand the narrative through animation without discarding the successful components of its existing promotional campaigns.
- Solution: The Booth used Ddrops' existing illustrations as a foundation for the project. Its team crafted a series of stylish motion graphics that seamlessly integrated with Ddrops' current brand identity. Given the client’s health and wellness focus, By The Booth carefully studied the product offers to ensure ethical and professional representation in the scripts and storytelling.
- Results: The collaboration resulted in the production of 6 motion graphic videos and 3 live-action videos, along with several other versions tailored for the UK, US, and Canada markets. Ddrops continues to use the animations on social platforms, reinforcing the brand's market leadership.

Follow these steps to choose the best animation company for your business:
