Animated ad examples from our studio
Real estate commercial, 32 seconds, 16:9. The agent introduces himself in the first line, gives one credential and ends with one action: reach out today.
Vertical social ad, 34 seconds, 9:16. It opens with "You're missing out" and one number before it explains the service on an isometric town map.
Promo for a modeling agency, 1:03, 16:9. It asks "The advantage?", answers it in one line and closes with one action: send a DM.
Class launch for a pilates studio, 22 seconds, 9:16. One class per beat in the studio's own typography, so viewers can stop on the one they want.
Product spot, 6 seconds, 16:9. The pack sits in a sunny field while hens walk in: one product and one feeling, the right size for a bumper ad.
Formats
Three kinds of animated ad
The bumper
Six seconds, one idea and your logo. Made for YouTube bumper slots and the first seconds of a social feed.
The social ad
15 to 30 seconds, vertical or square, with text on screen so it works with the sound off.
The commercial
30 to 60 seconds with characters, a story and a voiceover, for YouTube, your website and presentations.
What works
What makes an animated ad work
The examples above share a few habits that hold for any animated ad:
- A hook in the first two seconds: a question, a number or a problem the viewer has
- One message per ad, not a list of features
- Text on screen for people who watch with the sound off
- Your product or logo early, and again on the last frame
- One call to action: visit, call, book or buy
- A version sized for each placement: 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1
Length
How long should an animated ad be?
Six seconds for bumpers, 15 seconds for most social and in-stream ads, 30 seconds when the ad needs a short story, and 60 seconds or more for a commercial that plays on your website, on YouTube or in a sales meeting. When in doubt, make the 30 second version first and cut shorter versions from it.
Pricing
How much does an animated ad cost?
We price by length, at $5, $10 or $20 per second depending on the package, with a 30 second minimum and the voiceover included. A 30 second ad costs $150 on Clean, $300 on Advanced and $600 on Premium. Shorter ads, like a 6 or 15 second spot, are priced at the 30 second minimum, and extra cuts of the same ad in other lengths or formats are quoted together with your video.

Animated ad or live action?
Animation is usually the more affordable choice when your ad needs places, products or ideas that are hard to film, and it is easier to update when your offer changes: a new price or a new date means a change in the file, not a new shoot. Live action makes sense when the ad depends on real people, real places and a face the audience already knows.

Studio, freelancer or do it yourself
An honest look at price, time and risk before you choose who makes it.

|---|---|---|---|
| Arigato Studio | $5 to $20 per second, from $150 for 30 seconds | From 7 days for 30 seconds | Low: you approve the script and the look before anything moves, with revision rounds at every stage |
| Freelancer | Varies with experience. Compare portfolios and ask what is included | Depends on one person and their other clients | Medium: quality, deadlines and revisions all depend on one person |
| Online video maker | A monthly subscription plus your own hours | Days to weeks of your time for script, scenes, voice and music | High: stock scenes other brands also use, and no one to tell you when the message is unclear |
