What is a whiteboard video?

A whiteboard video is a type of video that shows doodle type images being drawn on screen. The images are accompanied by text and often a voiceover to tell a story. These animations are simple, yet very engaging.

By using your brand colours, logo and fonts, your video will fit with your brand and send out a consistent message. Your photos and videos can also be included, which provides an interesting contrast with the drawn images.
