Animated Short Form Videos for Social Media (15 to 30 sec)

Posted last week

Worldwide

Summary

I'm looking for a video creator/animator who makes short (15 to 30 second) animated videos specifically for social media, not website or corporate video work. Social content needs to grab attention fast and hold it, and I want someone who understands that difference and designs for it. The first project will be a set of videos/ads promoting a specific landing page. https://www.growthsteps.com/callrail/ These videos explain a concept purely through animation, no narrator or talking head. Think whiteboard, motion graphics, kinetic typography, or whatever style you'd recommend based on the concept. What matters most to me: I want to work with someone who treats this as an iterative process, not a one-and-done deliverable. That means testing different versions of a video, getting feedback on what's actually performing, and using that to make the next one better. I'm not looking for someone who hands off a video that works well enough and moves on. I want someone who can tell me why one version outperformed another, because they've actually tracked it before. I also have some concepts in mind, but I'd like someone who can contribute their own ideas too, not just execute what I hand you. Coming up with ideas that actually land with a US audience is honestly the hardest part of this, so that matters a lot to me. I own a marketing agency, and if this works out well, there's real potential to bring you on for ongoing client work beyond this first project, not just a one off gig. To apply, please tell me: - About a similar project you've built. Show me the actual video, and walk me through your thinking behind it and how it performed. - What it cost. - Do you typically write the script/concept yourself, or do you need that provided? I'm new to this process, so I want to understand what you handle versus what I need to bring. Please do not contact me directly (email, outside messaging, etc). Apply through Upwork only. Anyone who reaches out to me directly will be automatically excluded from consideration.
