2D animation for social media and marketing: creating engaging content

Here’s a look at how 2D animation is used for social media and marketing:

Advertising:

2D animation is a popular choice for creating ads that stand out on social media. By using bright and bold colours, catchy music, and engaging characters, animators can create ads that grab the attention of the audience and drive engagement.

Explainer videos:

2D animation is also a great choice for creating explainer videos, which are short videos that explain a product or service in a simple and easy-to-understand way. By using 2D animation, companies can break down complex ideas and concepts into bite-sized pieces that are easy for the audience to understand and remember.

Brand storytelling:

2D animation is also a powerful tool for telling a brand’s story. By using engaging characters and a compelling narrative, companies can use 2D animation to connect with their audience and build a strong brand identity.

Social media content:

2D animation is also a popular choice for creating social media content that stands out. From GIFs to full-length videos, 2D animation allows companies to create dynamic and eye-catching content that helps to boost engagement and drive traffic.

The Hidden Archive: Free Creative Tools, Resources and a New Teleprompter App Over the past few years, I’ve created a slightly ridiculous number of things. Books. Apps. Courses. Music. Videos.

The Hidden Archive

What is The Hidden Archive? The YouTube channel finally got a rebrand. I realised two years ago that my YouTube page was starting to feel uncurated. The simple truth was that being multidisciplinary, and wanting to explore a wide variety of mediums, had led to a kind of anti-niching. In my own way, I was navigating the principle of correspondence. In creative abstraction terms, that essentially means gaining an understanding of multiple fields and then connecting the dots between them to deepen my understanding of creativity as a whole. That said, I realised that on the surface, this

What Are UFOs and What Do They Say About Humanity? Back in 2024, I went down the rabbit hole of UFOs/ UAPs. It was around the time David Grusch hit the scene and it really did seem like we were going to get disclosure any day. There was an energy around the topic, it felt charged, so much so that I found I could rarely think of much else.

Why This Story Is Valuable While researching the Red Book series, I’d occasionally read comments linking Jung’s work to Gnosticism. I was raised by Christians, and although I’m agnostic myself (if I had to put a label on it), I’m still interested in the history of religion and more recently whether the stories hold any value in the modern world. I eventually made my way to an Alex O’Connor video with Bart Erhman where they outlined the core aspects of the Gnostic Creation Story, from the Apocryphon of John. Which then led me to a translation of those
