Why Whiteboard Animations?
Whiteboard animation videos use cartoon media and other animation techniques to turn even the most complex idea into something everyone can understand. The key is in simplicity: A whiteboard animation is clean, colorful and easy to digest, empowering your video marketing without confusion. It also relies on some of the same techniques used by educators — like illustrating a process one step at a time to improve understanding.
Furthermore, whiteboard video animation uses powerful tactics to keep viewers’ attention:
- Movement, which catches the eye.
- Valuable video content, which means viewers can learn something new.
- Fun animation, which can make your message more memorable than a talking-head video.
Animation videos also help keep users on the page, which is a primary search engine ranking factor. Using professional whiteboard video content can accomplish more than static imagery and written content could ever hope to achieve.
To tell your story in a way that moves leads down the funnel and influences buying decisions, you need a professional whiteboard video production company. Brafton produces, publishes and promotes whiteboard videos for maximum effect on your target audience.

Educate Your Audience
Synthesize complex product specs, offer step-by-step explanations and animate how-to guides to bring your customers and prospects up to speed on your business capabilities and product offerings.
Words are great. Graphics are better. Animated graphics are best.
Using brand-specific typography, style, instructions and narration, our video team starts at the drawing board and finishes with the final touches of video editing to create the educational content your audience craves.
Present Big Ideas
Your dedicated animator and scriptwriter take your vision to the big screen — of laptops and smartphones, that is.
Throughout each stage of brainstorming the idea, writing the script, designing the visuals and producing your marketing video, we infuse your story and your business expertise. With video production services powered by Adobe Illustrator, After Effects and Audition, we combine the best in software applications and custom artwork for high-quality results.
For additional context, we include off-screen voiceover talent, enhanced audio and graphical annotations like subtitles, company logos and calls-to-action.
Features of a High-Quality Whiteboard Video
There are plenty of design tools available to help you with whiteboard video production, but these tools don’t provide the background knowledge, experience and expertise necessary to make your video content stand out. To create a truly professional, high-quality whiteboard animation, you must know how to leverage features like these:
- Duration: The modern viewer has limited time and an even more limited attention span. Animation videos should have the perfect duration to share your idea without dragging on — and that’s usually around 60 seconds.
- Topic: Focus on one topic per animation or explainer video. This keeps your audience from getting confused and makes it easier to design, theme and present your video content.
- Quality: Awkward animation or unprofessional voice-over work can disappoint potential customers — or, worse, lead to an increased bounce rate on your page. Invest in a quality partner to help bring these elements together in ways that make your whiteboard animation video stand out.
Whiteboard animation can be one valuable part of your overall video marketing strategy — but only if you have a video production partner who can make it happen.
