8 Key Ingredients For An Awesome Social Video

Brands are judged by how they move as much as how they look.

Why this matters

Brands are judged by how they move as much as how they look. This guide skips the theory and keeps what has worked across hundreds of shipped campaigns.

Key takeaways

  • Define one easing profile as the brand’s body language
  • Write transition rules: what may morph, cut, or slide — and what never may
  • Cap the accent palette in motion; saturated equality is noise
  • Choreograph the logo, don’t just reveal it
  • Document a “do not animate” list; restraint is brandable

By the numbers

8 — motion-brand systems we shipped last year now include a sonic logo as standard.

The takeaway

If your brand were a person, the easing curve is how they walk — choose it deliberately.
