00:00Hey everyone, welcome back for another Deep Dive. You wanted to know more about infographic videos, specifically the best ones out there right now.
00:12Yeah, some really incredible stuff out there.
00:14So we dug into a list of the top 10 animated infographic videos of 2025, and we got some insights from industry experts who break down what makes them so great.
00:24Should be fun.
00:24Now, one thing that jumped out at me right away was the companies on this list.
00:28Oh yeah.
00:29We're talking big names like Google, Slack, Logitech, brands we all know, but they're using animation in some really unexpected ways to really connect with their audiences.
00:39Yeah, and what's really interesting is how they're all using animation to tell stories, connect with their audiences on an emotional level.
00:47Yeah, you know, that's one of the things that really struck me, how many of these videos, even the ones aimed at businesses, that they're not afraid to tap into emotion.
00:54Exactly. It's not just about features and benefits anymore. It's about making people feel something.
01:01Like take Matomic, for example. They're a data security company, right?
01:03Right.
01:04And their video features this human firewall imagery.
01:09Very powerful.
01:10What do you think they're going for with that?
01:11Well, I think they're playing on our innate need for security and protection.
01:15You know, we all want to feel safe and secure, especially when it comes to our data.
01:19And by using this human firewall imagery, they're creating a sense of trust and reliability.
01:24It's true. And then they take it a step further by emphasizing productivity and peace of mind.
01:30Right. It's not just about keeping your data safe. It's about how that security can actually make your life better.
01:35You can focus on your work. You can relax, knowing that your information is protected.
01:40And I think that's such a clever way to stand out, especially in a field that can be pretty technical.
01:45Like data security, it's not the most exciting topic for everyone.
01:49Right.
01:49But by bringing in this human element, by making it about how it makes you feel, they're making it much more relatable and engaging.
01:56Exactly. And it makes you wonder, is this emotional approach something we're seeing across the board?
02:01I think so. And you know what? A perfect example of that is Slack.
02:05Okay.
02:06Instead of going the obvious route, like bashing email, their video actually positions Slack as a way to enhance communication, not replace it.
02:15Yeah. And they do a great job of highlighting those benefits.
02:17Right. They use terms like transparency and accountability to build positive associations with their platform.
02:24It's like they're saying, hey, we're not here to disrupt your workflow. We're here to make it better.
02:28And I think that's a really smart approach because people are already comfortable with email.
02:32So instead of trying to force them to switch to something completely new, they're showing how Slack can actually complement what they're already doing.
02:40And make it even better.
02:41Exactly. And it makes me think this whole idea of connecting with your audience on an emotional level, is this something we're seeing more of in B2B marketing in general?
02:51Absolutely. I think businesses are realizing that even in the B2B world, emotions play a huge role in decision making. It's not just about logic and numbers.
03:00Yeah. It's about connecting with people on a human level.
03:03Exactly. It's about building trust, creating a sense of connection and making your message more memorable.
03:09So it's not just about explaining what your product does. It's about making people feel something.
03:14And that's what these top infographic videos are doing so well. They're not just informative, they're emotionally engaging.
03:20So we've talked about the power of emotion, but another thing that really impressed me was the level of visual storytelling in some of these videos.
03:28Oh yeah, for sure. They're not just static graphics anymore.
03:31I'm thinking of the Arrow Electronics video. Have you seen that one?
03:34I have. I thought it was incredible.
03:36It's like a mini movie.
03:37It is.
03:37They took this concept of connecting technology to a better life and brought it to life with these stunning visuals.
03:45Yeah, it was really well done.
03:46Like you're not just watching a product demo, you're experiencing a story.
03:49And I think that's what makes these videos so effective. They're not just trying to sell you something, they're trying to take you on a journey.
03:55Right. And the visuals are so essential to that journey. They're not just there for decoration.
03:59Exactly. They're helping to tell the story.
04:02Okay. And Logitech is another great example of this.
04:04Okay. Yeah.
04:04Their video has this really conversational feel. They're emphasizing effortless communication and the animation and the music work together to create this feeling of ease and simplicity.
04:17And I think that's really important, especially for a company like Logitech, who's known for their user-friendly products.
04:22It's like the animation is reflecting their brand identity. It's not just that it's cool, it's that it directly supports their message.
04:29Exactly.
04:30So for anyone out there trying to create impactful content, I think there's a real lesson here.
04:34How can you use visuals to not only tell a story, but also reinforce your brand identity?
04:40Yeah. Something to really think about.
04:41Because those visuals can be so powerful.
04:43They are. And they can really help you to connect with your audience on a deeper level.
04:47Okay. Moving on. Northwestern Mutual.
04:49They took on a really sensitive topic, estate planning, and they handled it so well.
04:54It's a tough subject. They could have easily gone the scare tactic route or guilt-tripped people, but they didn't.
04:59Nope. They struck that perfect balance, acknowledged how important planning is without being preachy or overwhelming.
05:05It was like a gentle nudge, a reminder to think about the future.
05:09Right. And that's crucial when you're dealing with sensitive stuff. You don't want to alienate your audience. You want them to trust you.
05:14Exactly. You want to be a resource, not a lecturer. Okay, now let's talk Amparity.
05:19They went straight for the pain points. Bloated budgets, broken con tables, bold move.
05:24It was. But it worked. Because they were speaking directly to their audience's strolls.
05:29It was like, hey, we get it. We know you're frustrated, and we're here to help.
05:32And that resonates, especially with business folks. It shows you understand their challenges.
05:36You're not just pretending those problems don't exist.
05:38Right. You're acknowledging them and offering solutions.
05:40Well, there was this video from Fivetran, the data company, and they used the analogy of electricity to explain this complex concept of data centralization.
05:50Ah, yes. That was very clever.
05:52Wasn't it? Like, suddenly it all made sense.
05:54Because they took something that's really abstract and complex and made it relatable.
05:57Everyone understands electricity.
05:59Right.
05:59They all use it every day.
06:00And by using that analogy, they were able to simplify this technical topic and make it instantly understandable.
06:06Exactly. And it shows that you don't always need flashy visuals to be effective.
06:10Sometimes the most impactful videos are the ones that focus on clarity.
06:15Yeah. It's about targeting your message to a specific audience.
06:18Like, Fivetran, they knew their audience was probably struggling with data silos.
06:22So they used this familiar analogy to simplify the solution.
06:26Right. It's a great lesson in effective communication.
06:28You have to understand your audience and what their pain points are.
06:31And I think that's so crucial in today's world.
06:33Like, we're bombarded with information all day long.
06:35Right.
06:35If a video can quickly grab your attention and explain something complex in a way that makes sense, that's gold.
06:42Absolutely. That's what makes people want to learn more.
06:44Okay. So we've talked about the power of emotion, the importance of storytelling and clarity.
06:49But there's another layer to this that I found really fascinating.
06:52What's that?
06:52It's how these videos seamlessly integrate their brand identity into the visuals.
06:58It wasn't just about looking pretty.
07:00It was about reinforcing their brand message.
07:02Totally. It's all about creating a cohesive experience.
07:06Right. Like the visuals are an extension of the brand.
07:09Absolutely. And that's something that a lot of companies miss.
07:11They just slap some random animation on their video without thinking about how it fits with their overall brand identity.
07:17And then it just feels disjointed.
07:19Exactly.
07:20Okay. So a good example of this, of getting it right, is Scuba Analytics.
07:24Okay. Yeah.
07:24Their video uses this sleek, modern style of animation called 2.5D.
07:31Oh, yeah. That's a really cool technique.
07:33I know. It looks awesome, but I don't really know what it means.
07:36Well, basically, it's a style that combines elements of 2D and 3D animation.
07:40Oh, okay.
07:41So it gives it this really dynamic and engaging look, like it has depth and movement, but it's still very stylized.
07:48Right. And for Scuba Analytics, it's perfect because they're all about translating real-time data into actionable insights.
07:56Exactly. And the 2.5D animation just gives you this sense of, like, diving into the data of itself.
08:01It's like the visuals are literally representing what they do.
08:04Right. And that's what makes it so effective. It's not just a random animation style.
08:08It's a visual metaphor for their brand.
08:11I love that. Okay. And speaking of visual metaphors, we have to talk about the Tezos video.
08:15Oh, yes. That was a good one.
08:16So they're a blockchain company, right?
08:18Mm-hmm.
08:18And their video uses these dynamic block visuals to showcase the flexibility of their platform.
08:25It's such a strong visual representation of their core message.
08:28It is. And it's also a great example of how you can be creative and conceptual without sacrificing clarity.
08:36Yeah. Like, the visuals are engaging, but they also serve a purpose.
08:40Right. They make the complex world of blockchain more understandable.
08:43Okay. So what's the takeaway here? How do we apply this to our own work?
08:47I think it's all about finding that sweet spot where visual storytelling and brand identity intersect.
08:53It's not just about making a pretty video. It's about using visuals to tell your brand's story in a way that's both memorable and impactful.
09:01Exactly.
09:02And when you get that right, it can be incredibly powerful.
09:04It really can. It creates a cohesive experience for your audience, reinforces your brand message, and just leaves a lasting impression.
09:11Okay. So remember that Google video we were talking about?
09:14The one that uses kinetic typography?
09:15Yeah. The one that topped the charts.
09:17Oh, yeah. That was a great one.
09:18It totally blew me away. It's a perfect example of how to take something as simple as text and make it come alive.
09:24And they did it so well. It wasn't just about animating the text. It was about using kinetic typography to really emphasize the message and tailor it to a specific audience.
09:34Right. They really made it feel like the video was speaking directly to you.
09:38Exactly.
09:38Which is incredibly engaging. And it makes you think, are we using text effectively in our own videos?
09:44Yeah. Are we just slapping words on a screen or are we really thinking about how to make them stand out?
09:48Are we making them engaging? Are we using them to tell a story?
09:51It's a good question. Because text could be just as powerful as any other visual element.
09:55Right. So we've covered a lot of ground here. We've talked about the power of emotion, storytelling, clarity, brand identity.
10:02And we've seen some amazing examples of how brands are using innovation to create truly engaging and impactful content.
10:09But I'm curious, what stood out to you the most?
10:12Hmm. That's a tough one. I think what impressed me the most was the overall creativity and innovation on display.
10:20Yeah.
10:21These videos weren't just about following trends. They were about pushing the boundaries of what's possible with animation.
10:27Yeah. They were taking risks and trying new things.
10:30Exactly. And that's what I find so inspiring. This constant evolution, the drive to create something truly unique and memorable.
10:38I agree. It's like, yeah, we can all learn from best practices and established techniques, but there's also this incredible opportunity to experiment.
10:47To break the mold and find your own unique voice.
10:49Exactly. And that's what makes this field so exciting.
10:52There's always something new to discover, something new to try.
10:54Well, I don't know about you, but I'm feeling pretty fired up to go make some awesome videos.
10:57So if you were going to make your own infographic video, what would you do?
11:01What style comes to mind? What story do you want to tell?
11:04You know, you don't need a huge budget or fancy software to make something great.
11:08It's more about the idea, right?
11:10Yeah. Some of the most impactful videos are the simplest.
11:12It's about finding creative ways to make your information pop.
11:17Make it memorable. Because we're all drowning in content, these things.
11:20It's true.
11:20And these top videos, they remind us that sometimes the best way to communicate is to show, not just tell.
11:26And animation lets you do that.
11:28Exactly. So get out there and animate, experiment, have fun, see what you can create.
11:33That's all for our deep dive into the top infographic videos of 2025.
11:38We hope you enjoyed it.
11:39And we hope it gave you some ideas for your own videos.
