Nine seconds. That's the purported attention span of the much-maligned goldfish. But, somewhat less-amusingly, the modern human consumer has an attention span of eight - just eight - seconds, meaning that humans have weaker concentration abilities... than goldfish. That's according to research by Microsoft, and reported in TIME magazine, anyway. The headline-grabbing and slightly tongue-in-cheek [...]

If you’re honest with yourself – really honest – the content published on your internal communications channel is boring. Communication defines a workplace culture. Effective internal comms ensures the organisation is working together as a single cell trying to evolve and multiply.

When you launch a new product, your employees need to understand the features and benefits better than your customers. Engaging and informative content has become a primary focus in marketing.

For your vision to become a reality, you have to find a way of communicating your masterplan to a board of directors, staff and customers. In the past, you had to rely on written documents, graphs, images and rousing speeches. But was the message received?

Are your internal communications failing to connect with your workforce? Using characters can help break down the barrier between a company and their employees as they can identify with the characters on a emotional level. It gives them an instant connection with what they are viewing and the information being communicated.

Let’s find out more about the 10 reasons for using animation in your business communication and marketing.

Communication within business is vital to success, whether that’s between you and your consumer, you and your shareholders, or you and your employees. If we communicate effectively we can improve productivity, moral, efficiency.

Communication is crucial, regardless of whether your audience is your workforce, or your customers. Why not add an animated character or mascot to your advertising, or e-learning programme?

We are more likely to discuss something funny or shocking that we have seen with our colleagues, as videos of this nature are inherently more interesting to us. Discussing what they have seen is a positive way of actively engaging with the information.
