We are entering our 51st year of operations. During our 50th year, our marketing and promotions have focused on our history.

We learned about NextDay from United Way of Central Indiana. The initial meetings demonstrated that they understood our vision.

I was impressed by how well the first draft represented what we discussed in the meetings. All of the follow up versions only had very minor changes until we got to the finished product. It really demonstrated how well the team listened to what we wanted and asked the right questions to understand our vision. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? I don't think so. As a a small nonprofit, cost is always an issue for us and our budget is the only thing that keeps me from having NextDay take on some additional projects for us at this time. --- #### Video Production for Health Care System **The Project** - Services: Video Production - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Jan. - June 2022 **Project Summary**: Next Day Animations created five 30-second videos, four images, and four GIFs.

They wrote the script and descriptions for the client to provide realistic job previews about their organization. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Vice President, Human Resources & CHRO, The Arc of San Diego - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 501-1,000 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Apr 26, 2022 **Feedback Summary**: The client's four videos represent their organization's distinction, which was being used to attract potential applicants. Next Day Animations effective workflow helped deliver the project on time. Their expertise, transparency, and reasonable costs make for an attractive collaboration. ""This was one of the most pleasurable, cost-effective, and sustainable projects and investments I have been a part of."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. The Arc of San Diego is a not-for-profit organization committed to supporting and empowering children and adults with disabilities to achieve their goals and reach their maximum potential. I serve the organization as Vice President, Human Resources & CHRO. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Next Day Animations, and what were your goals? We needed videos and imagery to support our recruiting efforts. Our goal was to provide realistic job previews, showcasing the diversity of our staff and clients, and without compromising our clients' privacy, while demonstrating The Arc of San Diego is the place to grow your career serving your community. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? We chose Next Day Animations due to the whiteboard video approach. Animated drawings are ideal for showing personal hygiene situations without compromising privacy; displaying diversity of people and disabilities; and were cost-effective. Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used. First, we went through a discovery phase sharing our branding, goals, and existing imagery and language. Next, the writer prepared scripts and descriptions for the audio and visuals. Upon final agreement, the images were drawn and voice-over artists chosen. How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions? We worked directly with a producer and a writer. They, in turn, worked with a team of artists for the images, as well as supplied a set of diverse voices for us to choose from. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables? We now have 4 videos that truly represent our workforce, our client population, and accurately demonstrate the work, while clearly calling on potential applicants to take the next step and apply. How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs? The Next Day Animations team is very skilled, kind, and customer-focused. They are excellent listeners, superb writers, and amazing artists. They set clear expectations, managed the process, and delivered on time. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? Their ability to truly deliver, not just a set of products, but to do so in the spirit of our mission and vision. This was one of the most pleasurable, cost-effective, and sustainable projects and investments I have been a part of. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? Rather then have anything to improve, I am thinking about collaborating on more videos :) --- #### Animated Video Production for Red Light Therapy Company **The Project** - Services: Video Production - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: July - Oct. 2021 **Project Summary**: A red light therapy device company collaborated with Next Day Animations to create four animated explainer videos lasting 30–60 seconds each. The team was involved from conceptualization down to production. **Review Rating**: 4.5 - Quality: 4.5 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Director of Digital Operations, JustLight - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jan 7, 2022 **Feedback Summary**: Next Day Animations was able to capture, understand, and translate product-related information into engaging videos. The team was highly communicative, upholding an effective and efficient feedback loop that ultimately led to the creation of videos that met the client’s vision and expectations. ""It was just really nice to work with them. They're very nice, responsive, and caring people."" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. Our company, JustLight, sells a red light therapy device that helps with the reduction of chronic pain. I am the director of digital operations, and I wear many hats seeing as our team is still very small. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Next Day Animations? The super new technology that we’re offering isn’t very intuitive. Though it can help reduce chronic pain, it cannot heal it or fix other conditions such as addiction. We needed to communicate that idea through simple animated videos, so we partnered with Next Day. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Next Day produced four animated videos for us. These videos lasted anywhere between 30–60 seconds and tackled various topics surrounding our product. One video showed the history of red light therapy, while another illustrated the best way to use our product. We started the project with a consultation call where we discussed our ideas and concept with the Next Day team. We also provided them with minimal resources, which they wrote a script and storyboard for within a day or two. They asked for our feedback, edited the scripts and storyboards accordingly for several rounds until we were satisfied, and went on to create the animations.  They then brought in their voiceover actor, to whom we also provided feedback. We tweaked some of the wordings and the tone and ultimately arrived at a final product that we were happy with. I helped with the video editing and scriptwriting, so it was a collaborative effort.  What is the team composition? We worked with around four people from Next Day. How did you come to work with Next Day Animations? I’m not aware of how they were found and selected for the project. I was simply brought in to help with the pre-production.  How much have you invested with them? We invested around $10,000–$25,000. What is the status of this engagement? I started working with them in July 2021, and it was a three-month contract. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Some of the videos were uploaded to our YouTube channel, but we haven’t started using them as our marketing material yet. Everybody who saw the videos were very impressed though, and we’re excited to partner with Next Day again for similar future projects. How did Next Day Animations perform from a project management standpoint? We were very happy with the collaborative process that they had. Their team had really strong communication skills, and their turnaround time was very quick. They had the ability to translate any concept into a video. They were just a pleasure to work with, overall, and our experience was very positive. We usually communicated over email, but we participated in video calls to get the initial concepts and requirements down.  What did you find most impressive about them? What really stood out about our partnership was the positive energy that Next Day brought. It was just really nice to work with them. They're very nice, responsive, and caring people. Are there any areas they could improve? The very first revision for the script took a bit of time, but that was because we had spent a lot more time thinking about our company than they had. We couldn’t expect them to envision it the same way we did, but several edits down the line, they got it eventually. --- #### Explainer Video Production for Cancer Center **The Project** - Services: Video Production - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Mar. - Apr. 2021 **Project Summary**: A cancer center hired Next Day Animations to produce a video that explained how to look for cancer symptoms in a healthy-looking person. The client also asked to show prevention and checkup procedures for it. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.5 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Communications Manager, Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1,001-5,000 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Aug 24, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: Next Day Animations received great feedback on the client's social media platforms. They always communicated unexpected delays in the process with easy communication and frequent updates. The client commended them for making their process more convenient for their internal team. ""They always told us ahead of time if something needed to be changed so we could discuss it."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I am the Communications Manager at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. I manage marketing and communications projects at Vanderbilt University Medical Center as they relate to cancer. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Next Day Animations, and what were your goals? We have a particular focus on pushing cancer screenings with younger adults, including colonoscopies, which have an unpleasant stigma. We wanted an educational whiteboard animation video that explained signs and symptoms to look for, and to show a younger, healthy-looking woman thinking about getting one, going through the process of talking to her doctor, the prep, the procedure, and the ease and importance of it ("That wasn't so bad after all! And I already have my results!"). We want to reduce the stigma of the procedure, and remind people that the recommended age has been lowered to 45, so you don't have to be a 70-year-old man to worry about colon cancer. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? I looked for quality of animation, accessibility of staff, and cost. Our other animation vendors have required multiple project commitments, and I needed someone who would do a one-off project. My initial meeting to learn about the process showed me how professional they were and how easy they would make this for us. Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production. We started with the discovery meeting for them to understand what characters we wanted to see and what story we wanted to get across. The doctors in the group laid out all the talking points (signs and symptoms, steps of the procedure, etc.) in bullet points for the production team. Then as the project lead, I met with the producers to lay out characters and voiceover choice. Then they delivered the first draft, we made edits, then I think we had a couple last tweaks to make, then they delivered final product. Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like? We worked with a Lead Producer, Christine, who was wonderful at every stage. She managed expectations from both sides, kept me posted what would be needed next, and kept us on a manageable timeline with edit/feedback deadlines. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? Our video has gotten great feedback on our website on social media. We continue to show it on screens within the cancer center, and have even embedded it in cancer screening email campaigns we have sent out. We don't have any metrics on that, but all good verbal feedback from those that see it! Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness. Christine was easy to communicate with and provided frequent updates. They always told us ahead of time if something needed to be changed so we could discuss it. We communicated over email, but it was also convenient to put our video edits directly into Frame.io for the animators. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? They really took the time to understand the colonoscopy process from the doctors, and wanted to understand the biggest reasons why people don't get this screening done when they should. Then they used that to make a compelling piece! Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? Not that I can think of! We will definitely use Next Day Animations again. --- #### Whiteboard Animation for Nonprofit Organization **The Project** - Services: Video Production - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Mar. - Apr. 2020 **Project Summary**: Next Day Animations produced a whiteboard animation for a nonprofit organization. The team drafted a scripting language, accompanied by descriptions of the images that would appear.  **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Justice Systems Analyst, National Juvenile Defender Center - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Aug 20, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: Next Day Animation's final film received excellent feedback from both defenders and school professionals. The nonprofit's social media posts on the video received significant engagement. The vendor quickly understood their work, language, and their priorities, which impressed the client. ""The way they walk clients through the process to quickly produce a very high-quality product was incredibly appealing."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I'm the Justice Systems Analyst for a small nonprofit that supports youth defenders across the country. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Next Day Animations, and what were your goals? We were working with a school superintendents association to create materials for school professionals, to help them understand the long-lasting negative effects of referring children to juvenile court. We were able to create plenty of good resources for them, but wanted a way to quickly explain the issue and get them interested in learning more. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? Fortuitously, Next Day Animations happened to send a marketing email to our ED right around the time we were trying to figure out how to get superintendents interested in our work. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about working with a company we didn't really know much about, but Next Day was so upfront and easy to work with right off the bat. The way they walk clients through the process to quickly produce a very high-quality product was incredibly appealing. Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production. First, we had an introductory meeting with a few members of the team, led by the scriptwriter. They asked us lots of questions about the work we do generally, this specific project, the language we use when we talk about our work, etc. From that, they drafted script language, accompanied by descriptions of the images that would appear. We were able to edit/request changes to both the language and the scene descriptions. (They had done a remarkable job getting a handle on our work and our language, and we had very few edits to make.) After script approval, we met with the animation team to discuss details about images; that was followed by selecting a voice artist. The first draft of our whiteboard animation followed, with an opportunity to edit. (I don't believe we made any edits.) Then we got our final copy of the animation, along with suggestions for distribution. Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like? We had a project manager who guided us through the process, and we worked with point people for the script and the animation. The feedback process was crystal clear, about what feedback needed to be provided when, and they provided timeframes that kept the project on track. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? We've received excellent feedback from both defenders and school professionals about the video. Our social media posts with the video received significantly more engagement than our usual posts. Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness. Everything with Next Day Animations was crystal clear. They explained the entire process upfront, they explained each step of the process as we moved along. At each stage, they would let us know when we would hear from them next, and they were never late (and were usually early). When they needed feedback from us, they proposed a timeline and made sure it worked for us and adjusted when needed. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? We were very impressed with how quickly they understood our work, our language, and our priorities. They were able to succinctly and powerfully explain complex issues in a compelling way. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? I honestly cannot think of anything. --- #### Video Production for Nonprofit Organization **The Project** - Services: Video Production - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: May 2017 - July 2020 **Project Summary**: Next Day Animations produced multiple explainer videos for a nonprofit organization. The videos taught users how to properly use the client's different products. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 4.5 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Director of Assessment & Security Officer, PAEA - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Online Review - Verified **The Review** — Aug 16, 2021 **Feedback Summary**: Internal and external stakeholders loved the outcome of the videos. The Next Day Animations team worked collaboratively, adhered to all timelines, and adjusted when needed. Moreover, they were a professional and skilled partner who truly cared about the client's business. ""They were flexible at every stage of the project, making them easy to work with."" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I am the director of assessment at a higher education/health professions nonprofit. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Next Day Animations, and what were your goals? We have worked with Next Day Animations several times over the last five years to create explainer videos to assist users of our products in using them properly. The specific project identified started as a four-video whiteboard and 2D animation series explaining proctoring best practices, and has since evolved to include five linked videos as our operations in this space has evolved. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? We were looking for a mission-aligned marketing firm that had a unique design style, creativity, and strong project management. Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production. We started with a discovery meeting to talk about our goals for the project - the first four videos. We had specific needs for what we said, so we drafted the first scripts and added ideas for visuals. Next Day worked with us on an iterative review, cutting what we wrote and adding engaging visuals. They were very flexible in working with our internal review process following the final draft before beginning the animation. We went back to them twice to add new videos, relying on them for more of the scripting work as we got more comfortable with their knowledge of our work, tweaking for the highly technical language required to prevent misinterpretation. Who did you work with and what was the feedback process like? We've worked with a variety of teammates over the years. Sage, Laura, and Wade have been our primary contacts. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? Our members have loved the videos and learned a lot by them. They have integrated them into their internal training processes. We have also received excellent feedback from security auditors who see all sorts of proctor training resources. Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness. Their timelines are aggressive, which is great for keeping things on track. They are also quite flexible to account for internal and volunteer-focused reviews that may create delays in the timeline. Their project management and communication styles are highly collaborative and collegial, and they deliver on time. What did you find most impressive or unique about this company? They created an endearing, enduring brand for our work that users love. They do an excellent job of balancing professional and engaging tones. And they care about their clients. Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently? It would be great to adjust timelines early on, especially if we don't have a hard delivery deadline. They were flexible at every stage of the project, making them easy to work with. --- #### Whiteboard Animation Video for Cleft Lip & Palate Charity **The Project** - Services: Advertising, Video Production - Project size: Confidential - Project length: June 2016 - May 2021 **Project Summary**: Next Day Animations created whiteboard animation videos for a cleft lip and palate charity.

The team produced engaging videos that were cost-effective. The team was detail-oriented and made sure the components of each video were correct down to the letter. Next Day Animations is a seasoned vendor that delivers quality work.   "“Next Day Animations genuinely cares about our cause.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the senior marketing content manager for a cleft lip and palate charity. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Next Day Animations? We wanted to reinforce our model and show all the services we provide year-round. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? They created a short, punchy whiteboard animation to show the difference between our organization and others. We started out with a US version that was one minute long. It shares a patient before and after surgery. It also shows what else a cleft patient needs to thrive including speech therapy, orthodontics, and nutrition counseling. The idea is to drive donors to our website. Our communications team put together the initial script and collaborated with Next Day Animations to produce the final version. From there, they created test character art. They sourced voice actors and recorded in different languages as well. From that original version, we regionalized to 11 different languages where the main character was representative of that area. We have one version that’s uploaded on our website. We also have outward-facing versions that we can use for paid ads and paid social media. What is the team composition? We worked with Sage (Production Manager), Hannah (Operations Manager), Dayna (Illustration Lead), Wade (Lead Producer), and their finance team. How did you come to work with Next Day Animations? We put out an FPO to 6–7 different whiteboard animation studios. We ended up hiring Next Day Animations based on quality and price. We know we can count on them to deliver the style we’re looking for. What is the status of this engagement? We started working together in Summer 2016, and we wrapped up our most recent project in May 2021.   **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  They performed fairly well. The videos are great because we don’t have to hire actors and we can do each video more affordably. The videos also hold people’s attention more than a regular advertisement. How did Next Day Animations perform from a project management standpoint? They’re very good to work with. With whiteboard animation, there are many details you have to get right. They’re really good about making sure everything is right. When we do come across an issue, the team swiftly finds a solution. We use Dropbox to approve files, and we also use Frame.io to give feedback at the exact minute marker. What did you find most impressive about them? Next Day Animations genuinely cares about our cause. Each video works well, and the representatives working on the project have sent me holiday cards and emails asking how we’re performing. Whenever we give feedback, they always implement changes without complaints. It always helps the end product. Are there any areas they could improve? No, I can’t think of any negative feedback for them. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Next Day Animations is excellent, especially when you factor in price and quality. They offer the best value in whiteboard animation videos.   --- #### Animated Video Production for Health-Based Service Firm **The Project** - Services: Video Production - Project size: $10,000 to $49,999 - Project length: Mar. - May 2021 **Project Summary**: Next Day Animations created a video for a health-based service firm.

" **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I work for a collaborating group of local medical practices, independently owned and led by our physicians. We formed the company as a framework for growth and sustainability of independent physician practices that focus on patient choice. By enabling physician practices to remain independent, and encouraging patients to be active participants in their healthcare decisions, we preserve true, patient-first care. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Next Day Animations, and what were your goals? We wanted a video to break down what i-Health is to both employees and the public. There has been a lot of confusion, and we thought this could help make it clear. **SOLUTION** How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors? We looked for a local (Minnesota-based) vendor who could turn around a high-quality video in about a month. Next Day Animations impressed us with their samples of work and got the job done within our time constraints. Describe the video(s) and the process in detail, including the project steps and all stages of production. We provided Next Day with a script, and they helped iron out the final details and brainstormed the animation.

They were able to capture the love and support that the client provides. Their process was easy and smooth. The communication was constant throughout the project. ""I was impressed by the great product, clean process, and mutual respect." " **BACKGROUND** Please describe your company and your position there. I serve as Community Engagement Director at Imagine LA, a nonprofit working to end the cycle of family poverty and homelessness. I oversee all communications, development/fundraising, volunteerism, and events. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** For what projects/services did your company hire Next Day Animations? We worked with Next Day Animations to create a video for our potential supporters and clients. We wanted the video to explain who we are, what we do, and what we stand for. It was crucial that this video capture the most important things about us in a tight video that also used our graphic ecosystem of fonts, images, and tone. What were your goals for this project? We wanted a video that we could use on social media, our landing page, and in-person meetings that would demonstrate our mission, program, and impact. It needed to be clear, engaging, and authentic. It would empower people to take action with our organization and would be used during our year-end giving drive. **SOLUTION** How did you select Next Day Animations? During a call, we shared our vision and goals for the project with a sales person. They, in turn, shared information about the process of making a video and about past projects that were similar to ours. They've worked with a number of nonprofits like ours. It felt like they were our partners from the beginning, sharing excitement and mutual respect. Cost was also a factor. Next Day Animations provided the best value out of several companies we spoke to. Describe the video(s) and the process in detail. The project began with a kickoff call to go over our specific goals and understand exactly why we wanted to make our video. The whole process was incredibly easy, from scheduling to the video technology. After the kickoff call, we went through several rounds of providing feedback on Next Day Animations provided -- starting with scripts, image samples, and flowing to the full video. Once the script was set, we had a design call. We focused on how the animation would sound and look, in terms of voiceover, music, character demographics and colors. This is where the Next Day Animations team really shone -- they made sure our video was true to our brand and vision. What was your vendors' project management or feedback process? With the design hammered out, the team created the first draft of our animation for review. Each subsequent round of reviews focused on meeting the needs we raised in that first review. After a total of three rounds of edits, Next Day Animations sent our final files, and I completed a final survey to let the team know what we loved and any ways to improve for next time. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success? We've just launched the video, and we're delighted with how it fits with our existing materials on the website, in our social media, and in our in-person meetings. It tells our story with warmth and dynamic energy. It captures the love and support we provide to our families, and that they are at the center of everything we do.

They were terrific across the board. --- #### Animation Videos for Retirement Security Nonprofit **The Project** - Services: Video Production - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Jan. 2017 - June 2020 **Project Summary**: Next Day Animations provided video production efforts for a public pension nonprofit. They've created many animated videos handling all the production stages from ideation to scriptwriting to editing. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.5 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Regional Campaign Manager, National Public Pension Coalition - Industry: Politics - Client size: 1-10 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Jul 15, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: The videos have successfully delivered their messages and received positive engagement from viewers. Next Day Animations creates compelling visuals that are unique and resonating. They are easy to work with as well as implement a clear and effective production process that delivers results. "“They create great videos. Everything they’ve produced has been incredible.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the regional campaign manager for the National Public Pension Coalition. Our organization was created to defend and protect the pensions of public employees across the country. We work with coalitions and just under a dozen states across the US to protect the retirement security of public employees such as teachers, firefighters, and municipal employees. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Next Day Animations? We’ve created about 6–7 videos with Next Day Animations in the past. For this particular project, we wanted to draw a comparison between 401Ks as a retirement option and pensions specifically in the public sphere. We wanted to utilize an animated video that’d show a race where the 401K runner isn’t able to save enough to retire on. Whereas public employees of the pension are able to retire securely after a long career in public service. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We developed the script at first and gave Next Day Animations the idea of a race. However, they put all the creative effort into making this a good video. Our process starts off with sitting down with them and discussing the direction we’d like to go in as well as necessary script items. There’s a professional writer on their staff who helps with creating the full script. Once that’s done, we go through an approval process with the script. From there, they go into the video creation phase, which takes a little bit of time. We get a draft and then go back-and-forth until the video is ready. They provide a final file to us that we upload to YouTube and push out on our end. What is the team composition? We work with an account executive who I imagine manages a larger team of creative designers and video creators. They are our usual point of contact. We also work with 3–4 people on their team during the creation of the scripts and before we go into production. How did you come to work with Next Day Animations? My company has been working with them since before my time. I believe my team found them through a web search or maybe Next Day Animations had reached out to them. What is the status of this engagement? The engagement lasted from January 2017–June 2020. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? Next Day Animations’ videos really breakthrough and deliver results. Their animations engage with our audiences. They do a good job of creating visuals that are compelling and stand apart from the rest of the noise we see on social media every day. We have a great process and really enjoy working with them. How did Next Day Animations perform from a project management standpoint? Project management has been fantastic. They’ve always been really easy to work with and their editing process is great. We’ve never had any snags with them. I can’t recommend them enough. What did you find most impressive about them? The way they lay out their process from start to finish is great. From hopping on a call to scripting to working with their account executive to finalize and go through multiple rounds of editing, it’s all very well thought out. Are there any areas they could improve? No, we’ve been really pleased with our work with them. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Give Next Day Animations a shot. They create great videos. Everything they’ve produced has been incredible. They get edits back to us quickly, and there isn’t a long turnaround. --- #### Video Production for Software & Hardware Solutions Company **The Project** - Services: Video Production - Project size: Less than $10,000 - Project length: Dec. 2019 - Feb. 2020 **Project Summary**: After getting to know the business, brand, and project goals Next Day Animations produced an explainer video tailored to the target audience. The team also provided post-production support. **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 4.5 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Demand Generation Manager, TransAct Technologies - Industry: Business services - Client size: 51-200 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Mar 16, 2020 **Feedback Summary**: Next Day Animations delivered a helpful, top-class video. The team's communication and openness to feedback were exceptional, and their strong project management skills made for a seamless, streamlined process. Staying within the deadlines, they worked quickly without compromising on excellence.  ""The speed of service was amazing and they produced quality work in that short amount of time." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the demand generation manager of the division of TransACT Technologies that sells hardware and software to food service providers. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Next Day Animations? I work with our sales team on outbound campaigns and content management. We are resource-strapped — we don’t have a big team or a large production budget –— which is why I hired Next Day Animations. I wanted an explainer video that would be useful for both our sales team and potential customers to get an understanding of who we are and what we do in a synopsis-like, animation format. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Once I submitted an inquiry online, they sent me a creative brief questionnaire that I had to fill out so they could understand our business and project goals. They also requested logos and brand guidelines. We then had a kick-off call, where they went over the questionnaire and explained how the project would work, giving the rundown of their process and timeline. They tailored the video to our target audience, who are VP’s and managers in the multi-unit restaurant and food service areas, specifically the decision-makers who decide whether or not to buy our products. The project had three stages; scripting, animation, and the final product. Once I signed off on the final video, they sent me the files in a couple of different formats, as well as a document outlining how to use the video. They did a lot of the heavy lifting.  What is the team composition? My main point of contact was Jacqueline (Lead Producer) who served as our project manager. I also worked with Caitlin (COO) and Beny (Client Advisor), who were both involved early on in the project. How did you come to work with Next Day Animations? After hearing about them on a podcast commercial, I did some research. Beny sent me their testimonials and portfolio, which really influenced my decision. I then realized that they’d be great at helping me with this project.  How much have you invested with them? We spent about $6,800. What is the status of this engagement? We worked with them from December 2019–February 2020. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  I haven’t had the opportunity to use the video in a lot of my marketing efforts just yet, but I’ve received a lot of really positive internal feedback. The sales team was particularly excited about the video because it’s easily shareable and gives a good overview of what we do without having to explain it in writing or verbally. Having this piece of contact is truly a win since we had nothing previously. How did Next Day Animations perform from a project management standpoint? Jacqueline was great. At one point, I told her that they were moving too fast because I would give them feedback, and they would have the edits ready for me by the next day! I had given them a deadline of mid-March, but she pointed out to me that they do have a reputation for working quickly since they are “Next Day Animations.” Getting work done within a short time frame is an expectation based on their name. They met the deadlines without any issues and the communication was phenomenal. I emailed back and forth with Jacqueline throughout the whole process. We had a couple of phone calls to go over a few things but most of it was handled via email. She was also the point person on their side, handling the process internally and making sure the team had all of the edits completed. We used a Google doc for the script, so I was able to make edits in real-time. Next Day Animations used a video sharing tool that allowed me to comment within the video at specific times and withing specific frames. So, I used that to highlight any edits and they were able to see them through that tool. No real project management tool was needed.  What did you find most impressive about them? Everything was on point from the get-go. The speed of service was amazing and they produced quality work in that short amount of time. I’ve worked with agencies and vendors where I’m the one following up to see if they’re meeting deadlines and making progress. The fact that Next Day Animations was able to do everything so quickly and seamlessly was really great. The video was a high-quality product that met our expectations. Are there any areas they could improve? At times I felt like I was being rushed. I did tell Jacqueline that their speed may be misconstrued as them rushing through the project just to get it done. There were a few times where I had to ask them to make edits past the allotted rounds of revision, which was three at each stage, because the imagery and illustrations they used showed that they didn’t fully understand our target audience.  Maybe slowing the process down a little more would’ve helped them embrace our feedback and understand our audience. That was a minor issue that we discussed and were able to figure out, so it didn’t hurt the project in any way. --- #### Animated Video Creation for Youth Nonprofit **The Project** - Services: Video Production - Project size: Confidential - Project length: June - Sep. 2019 **Project Summary**: Next Day Animations created a three-minute whiteboard animation video for a nonprofit. Working closely with their partners, they created a script, made changes to visual design, and incorporated a voiceover.   **Review Rating**: 5.0 - Quality: 5.0 - Schedule: 5.0 - Cost: 5.0 - Willing to Refer: 5.0 **The Reviewer** Development Director, RYSE - Industry: Other industries - Client size: 11-50 Employees - Review Type: Phone Interview - Verified **The Review** — Oct 4, 2019 **Feedback Summary**: The video has received a lot of positive feedback and accurately portrays the organization’s mission and values. Next Day Animations collaborated efficiently by using a video editing software to work directly across teams. Valuing this project’s mission, they made this production a priority. "“Direct feedback was very effective and helpful, making this collaboration go smoothly.” " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. I’m the development director with RYSE Center, a nonprofit center rooted in youth organization, racial justice, and community health. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Next Day Animations? We are building a larger center, expanding our reach, and really trying to pursue new pathways for funding and bring in partners to support our mission. Next Day Animations offers a grant in which they will make a whiteboard animation video for a nonprofit organization. We decided to apply because it was a great opportunity for us to market ourselves differently, and in a way we wouldn’t have been able to otherwise. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? Next Day Animation developed a three-minute video that illustrated our organization’s mission, talked about our work, and targeted donors. At the beginning of our collaboration, their team gave us a really helpful template early on that helped us solidify our goals, values, and what we wanted to see in the video. They also encouraged us to target donors across the United States, rather than just locally. From there, they drafted a script and we were able to provide feedback about how well we thought it fit with our organization’s message, and then they would revise. After that, they sent us voiceover samples that could narrate the animation. Focusing on our values of inclusivity and diversity, we wanted to lift up the voices of young people of color, ensuring Black and Latinx voices were highlighted in our video. Accommodating our values, they actually used the voice of a teenager in our program as the narrator. What is the team composition? We had a main point of contact but also talked to the person who drafted our script and a team of artists. How did you come to work with Next Day Animations? We learned about the grant through a listserv and became very excited about applying after viewing their materials because we liked their animation style a lot. During our initial conversation, they were very enthusiastic about our mission and clearly communicated how they wanted to support us. We felt heard and eager to work with them. How much have you invested with them? It was a grant, and I’m not sure how much it would have cost. What is the status of this engagement? The project lasted from June–September 2019. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?  The video is completed, and we have recently started sharing it online. We’ve received a lot of positive feedback so far. It summarizes our project really well and is very engaging. People have said that it does a good job sharing our story and mission. It’s a great visual marketing tool for us. How did Next Day Animations perform from a project management standpoint? We had really strong and open communication with them. They had a frame editing software called app.frame.io that allowed us took at the animation and make edits at any moment during the video. If we wanted to give someone glasses or change the color of something, we could make those changes right there, and their team would follow up with us immediately to ask clarifying questions. Direct feedback was very effective and helpful, making this collaboration go smoothly. Additionally, we communicated via email and phone, and they were always responsive, making sure we kept the video production a priority for everyone. They always were checking in with us, but were patient when we needed more time. What did you find most impressive about them? We had similar values, and we were excited to work with them because they were committed to reflecting racial justice and youth leadership through animation. It’s sometimes difficult to connect with other agencies that aren’t as committed to our mission. Their ability to translate what we wanted into video made Next Day Animations a unique partner. Are there any areas they could improve? No, we had a strong relationship. Do you have any advice for potential customers? Be very clear about the values you want to portray. They stuck to our mission very well, but by providing feedback we were able to ensure that all of our values were illustrated in the video.   --- #### Explainer Video Production for Communication & Digital Firm **The Project** - Services: Video Production - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Feb. - June 2025 **Project Summary**: Next Day Animations produced an explainer video for a strategic communication and digital firm.

This project features four captivating videos dedicated to exploring the positive impact of responsive relationships on brain development and social-emotional wellness in the first 3 years of life. SCO Family of Services enhanced their offering, the ‘Wonder with Me’ resources for parents and caregivers, by creating a custom Social Media Package. Check out their custom GIFs and graphics below. Whiteboard animation breathes life into complex concepts, making them accessible to all audiences. Custom characters hand drawn by our in-house team of animators vividly represent the diverse community that SCO Family of Services passionately serves, helping their message resonate with audiences across platforms. ### American Kidney Fund [2D Reels] In 2023, we developed the "Know Your Kidneys" explainer video campaign for our long time partners, The American Kidney Fund. They then approached us in 2024 to reformat this high-performing campaign for reels, or a 9:16 aspect ratio. Easier and cheaper to reformat than other mediums, our team was able to quickly support the reimagining of this project.Now, the American Kidney Fund is able to reach audiences across reel-based platforms such as Youtube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. ### DKT International [Live Action Explainer Video] Leveraging a synergy of animation and captured footage, our team of award-winning producers, scriptwriters, and animators partnered with DKT to provide an explainer video that could rise to the challenge of communicating their impact and dynamism. DKT International needed a succinct, power-packed video to serve as a flexible elevator pitch: something they could set as the flagship on their website, but use additionally across social media, stakeholder outreach, and more. Their explainer distills complex narratives into a digestible introduction to how DKT and organizations like it are playing a pivotal role in reeshaping the global health landscapes. At the heart of DKT International’s mission lies a commitment to empowering communities and transforming lives. As advocates for change, we recognize the power of storytelling in driving meaningful impact. Explainer videos serve as invaluable tools for nonprofit organizations, effortlessly weaving together narratives that resonate with audiences and breathing new life into a mission statement. ### Smokey Bear for Ad Coucil [2D Explainer Video] We were thrilled to lend our support to the Smokey Bear wildfire prevention campaign with a carefully crafted video series. In close collaboration with esteemed partners, we developed a comprehensive set of 5 videos available in both English and Spanish. A video series proves invaluable for breaking down the multi-faceted topic of wildfire prevention. Each video in this 5-part series delves into a distinct facet of wildfire safety, ranging from responsible debris burning to vigilant care for dry grass. The addition of Spanish translations ensures wider accessibility and broader outreach. Seamless, tailored graphics thread through the series, complemented by engaging and informative scripts, which clarify critical safety measures. Together, they form a comprehensive resource empowering these organizations in their mission to prevent wildfires. To extend the campaign’s impact, we integrated a custom Social Media Package, further amplifying its reach and resonance. Feel free to explore the videos and visuals featured here for a closer look at this impactful initiative.You can see the full package on our website, here: https://nextdayanimations.com/portfolio/smokey-bear/ ### Special Olympics [Whiteboard Explainer Video] We were thrilled when Special Olympics approached us to support the launch of their 2021 Global Strategic Plan. The international organization, responsible for an inclusion revolution built around breaking down barriers and ending discrimination against people with intellectual disabilities, approached our team at Next Day Animations with one goal: developing an engaging tool that brought diverse audiences right into the fold of their vision for an inclusive future. We created a whiteboard video that highlighted the key intentions of their updated strategy, which was successfully rolled out in 6 unique languages. Whiteboard style animation creates a delightful community of characters, which bring to life engaging scripting that focuses on reaching audiences from a variety of perspective points. The video was distributed widely to spread awareness about the updated strategy; the Special Olympics used the video internally in training and email signatures, as well as featuring the strategy across their website, Youtube, and at events and trade shows. ”I definitely recommend Next Day Animations to anyone who would like to create a whiteboard video. The team was quick to respond, moved the project forward in a very organized and smooth manner, and was very pleasant to work with. Most importantly, the end product was cost efficient and of great quality! Olga Yakimakho, Director of Leadership and Organizational Development, Special Olympics   ### Guide Dogs for the Blind [Whiteboard Explainer] Guide Dogs for the Blind approached us to create a video about how they raise, train, and match their guide dogs with clients who are blind or visually impaired. We also worked with Guide Dogs to create an accessible version of the video with audio description and open captions. The video saw 2.9k views when shared on the organization’s Facebook page, with an even larger amount of impressions. Debbi Morgen of Guide Dogs says “Their team is responsive, talented and professional. A pleasure to work with! Creativity and quality of the work are outstanding!” You can see other videos we've created with Guide Dogs for the Blind here: https://nextdayanimations.com/portfolio/guide-dogs-for-the-blind/ ### AARP [2D Explainer Video] AARP approached us in 2021 with a mission: they needed an accessible, engaging tool to bring employees on board with Audience Management. Not only was it important for AARP to define the concept of Audience Management, but the video also needed to address why this is relevant for the viewer: how does Audience Management affect my job at AARP? And how does Audience Management align with the overall mission of our company? An explainer video is an excellent choice for accomplishing all of this in a succinct, digestable package. Engaging scripting delivers a clear narrative about what Audience Management is and the unique ways it ties into company goals. AARP increased the engagement of their audience by including a Sizzler in their video package. A sizzler – also called a Pre-Roll, commercial-length, or preview video – is a short cut of a longer video. See a full case study and all the videos in this project here: https://nextdayanimations.com/portfolio/aarp/   ### Alinker [Whiteboard Explainer Video] Alinker’s business model is about more than selling mobility tools to people with disabilities; the Alinker company was built around creating access to wellness inside of healthcare systems that often overlook and underestimate marginalized groups. We made this whiteboard video to demonstrate the ways Alinker is dedicated to prioritizing true access, inclusion, and justice.   The inventor of Alinker, BE Alink, serves as the focal point and voiceover artist for this video. To see more about this project and other similar videos, visit the portfolio page here: https://nextdayanimations.com/portfolio/alinker/ ### American Kidney Fund [2D Explainer Video] This explainer video was made for the American Kidney Fund by Next Day Animations to define IC-MPGN, C3G, and how they affect your kidneys. This series is one of many we’ve made for American Kidney fund, including series on Gout, Kidney Disease in children, Fabry Disease, and Anemia. Chris Copley, Senior Director of Marketing at AKF said, “I've been extremely impressed with Next Day's quality of their videos. Their customer service is incredible!” ### Next Day Animations Add-On: Social Media Package An infographic explaining the benefits of selecting a social media package after creating an animation with us. ### United Way of CT [2D Explainer Video & Graphics] Our team created a 2D vector video directed at new parents to use the Plan of Safe Care tool offered by United Way. The project included a social media package, with graphics for Facebook, a wallet card, and a billboard graphic! An image from the package is attached. Jeanette Baker, Marketing coordinator at United Way of Connecticut said, "The staff at Next Day Animations has done a fantastic job in helping us get the right message to the people we need to reach.” To see the rest of the images from the Social Media Package, and the video this package was based on, visit the portfolio page here: https://nextdayanimations.com/portfolio/united-way-of-connecticut/ ### Common Justice [2D Explainer Video] Common Justice operates the first alternative-to-incarceration and victim-service program in the United States that focuses on violent felonies in the adult courts. They reached out to our animation studio with the need for a series of videos; we were honored to build videos around their crucial mission. The goal of the educational videos series with Common Justice was to provide information around general principles, pillars, and messaging connected to their work. This video was created to explain how the federal fund VOCA provides assistance to survivors of violence. Common Justice rolled out the series and paired the videos with other content, including Op-eds and virtual convenings to create a full campaign around their messaging. To see a full case study and the other videos in this project, visit https://nextdayanimations.com/portfolio/common-justice/ ### ActionAid [Whiteboard Explainer Video] For nonprofit organizations, effectively conveying a mission, impact, and call-to-action can be a transformative force. We’ve had the privilege of working alongside ActionAid on many projects as they strive for a world without poverty and injustice. Through a carefully crafted visual narrative, nonprofits like Action Aid can distill complex ideas into easily digestible, engaging content. Explainer videos have the unique ability to resonate with a broad audience, sparking empathy and mobilizing support. By leveraging this powerful medium, nonprofits can amplify their message, connect with stakeholders, and drive meaningful change. Our projects with ActionAid have tackled several different, but interconnected topics. An animated explainer video is an exceptionally efficient way to encapsulate the mission of an organization like ActionAid, as demonstrated by their ‘Who We Are’ video above. Sophia Har, Communications Manager at ActionAid said, "Working with Next Day Animations was one of the easiest experiences I've had with a contractor.
