My name is Mitch and I’m an animator from Wisconsin with a response rate that’s out of this world! After spending years as a freelance marketer, I’ve decided to take things to the next level. Being a passionate video creator myself, I noticed the significant drop in people’s attention spans when reading texts, and the crazy rise of videos online. Combining my passion of both business and videos, I specialize in animated explainer videos and commercials. I’ve always found the power of videos incredible, and I’m really not surprised. I mean think back to your high school days when you were given an English assignment to study a book, we all know you watched the movie instead! Why? Because it’s more engaging. I spent years assembling a gifted team of script-writers, voice-over artists, illustrators and animators to create the ultimate team of super-heroes for your business. Contact me today
