Brief

Our job was to help refine their core message, which would typically be presented in-person via a slide deck, and present it in a way that was easy to understand to a wider audience so KPMG could communicate this content 24/7.

We created a series of short films that break down this industry know-how into short bite-sized stories. Separating content into a series allowed us to focus the audience on each topic, one animation at a time. A series also has the added benefit of increasing the quantity of marketing content available.

Process

Working with KPMG’s brand guidelines with iconographic visuals and bold illustrations, we created the storyboard and style frames.

With the visuals signed-off, the voices were recorded. We worked with two voice actors to give the animations some variety. With all the assets in place, we moved on to illustrating the many assets needed and then finally set about animating the series.
