So what is it you're selling? Not the actual product or service, but the pain point addresses. We do our homework and identify what you're selling. A few common areas are:

Our Motion Ads Methodology

Online videos aren’t the same as traditional television ads. With online video advertising, we help you get much more focus with your targeting. This means going beyond basic audience demographics such as age, gender, and location; and drilling down into audience passions and pursuits.

At Disruptive we create engaging and informative motion ads based on where your potential customers are in their journey through the Marketing Funnel/Cycle, from learning about your product or service, all the way to the purchasing and loyalty phases.

Introduce/Awareness
Getting on your customer’s radar or re-engage them, and generating leads. These ads introduce the brand, product or service and typically have broad appeal, to attract as many people as possible.
Inform/Engagement
Convince/Conversion

Which type of motion should you use?

Now that you’ve identified your audience, what type of video ad are you going to create? Usually that depends on where it’s going to play. However, video advertising can help you communicate at several different touchpoints: from explainer ads to product spotlights, to influencer videos, promotion ads, and brand stories.

You’re telling an important story with each video, so which type of motion should you use to maximize its impact? Working with your Creative Strategist, our motion designers know the variety of formats and how they deliver different messages in different ways, depending on your needs.

Animation vs. Live Action

The medium used for the video and the type of the ad is as important as the message. You want the images to resonate with the audience. There are two main mediums: animation and live action. Animation doesn't mean cartoons, rather motion graphical, and both have pros and cons, however, one of the biggest key differences between the two is cost and turnaround times, and animation wins.

Animation
Simplifies abstract topics/ideas and is easy to stylize
Isn’t bound by reality, can do/show anything and transition easily.
Easy to make changes to edit for major overhauls and new versions of ad.
Shorter turnaround times and less expensive than most live action videos.
Live Action
Relatable, authentic, humanizing; more emotional connection.
Can show the product in use and product features in detail.
They almost always have sound/music and dialogue, which adds depth and complexity.
Usually better for serious messages, creating the right tone and gravity.
