Challenge

Brother UK needed an engaging way to communicate the benefits of its managed print services and document management solutions to prospective customers.

While the service delivers clear operational and cost-saving benefits, explaining the full process through brochures, presentations or written content alone can be challenging. Managed print services often involve multiple touchpoints, workflows and business processes that are not immediately visible to decision-makers.

The challenge was to create a clear and concise visual communication tool that would simplify a potentially complex service offering while highlighting the key benefits for businesses. The final animation needed to appeal to a broad audience, from business owners and procurement teams to IT managers and operational stakeholders.

In addition to educating potential customers, the video also needed to support wider sales and marketing activities across digital channels, presentations and customer engagement initiatives.

Solution

We developed a bespoke 2D animated explainer video that transformed a complex business service into an engaging and easy-to-understand visual story.

Using a combination of custom illustration, motion graphics and clear narrative structure, the animation demonstrated how Brother’s MPS service helps organisations improve efficiency, reduce costs and streamline document management processes.

The visual approach allowed us to communicate key service benefits in a concise format while maintaining audience engagement throughout. Rather than focusing on technical specifications, the animation concentrated on solving common business challenges and demonstrating measurable value for customers.

The completed animation provided Brother with a versatile marketing asset capable of supporting lead generation, customer education and sales activity across multiple platforms.

Process

Discovery & Brief Development

Working closely with the Brother MPS team, we reviewed the service offering, target audience and core business objectives. This stage helped identify the key messages that would deliver the greatest value to prospective customers.

Scriptwriting & Messaging

Complex service information was distilled into a concise and engaging script. Particular attention was given to communicating benefits rather than technical features, ensuring the content remained accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Storyboarding & Visual Planning

A detailed storyboard was developed to map out the customer journey and visual flow of the animation. This helped simplify the service process into a series of clear, digestible steps.

Illustration & Animation

Custom illustrations and graphical assets were created to support the narrative. Motion graphics and animated transitions were then used to bring the content to life while reinforcing key messages and maintaining viewer engagement.

Post Production & Delivery

The animation was refined through editing, sound integration and final quality checks before being delivered in formats suitable for websites, social media, presentations and marketing campaigns.
