What are explainer videos and why should they be used?
An explainer video, also known as a homepage video or overview video, is a short clip designed to explain your company, product, service, or topic in under two minutes. To make a great explainer video, focus on four main points: the problem, the solution, the features and benefits, and how the solution works. The key to a good explainer video is to keep it short and engaging while clearly conveying your message. By the end, viewers should understand what you do and feel motivated to take the next step.
What are some features of a top-notch explainer video?
- Under two minutes

- Casual and engaging tone
- Emphasis on benefits rather than features

When and how should you use an explainer video?
Explainer videos are best utilized early in the funnel, particularly during the consideration phase. They're ideal when a potential customer recognizes their problem and begins exploring possible solutions. You can place your explainer video on your homepage, product or service pages, in newsletters, at trade shows, and during sales meetings. After they've viewed the explainer, you might guide them to a product demo video for a more in-depth look at how everything works.

We’re built for marketing directors, creative directors, founders, or entrepreneurs who know great marketing requires exceptional content but don't have the time, resources, or expertise to build or scale an internal creative department. Whether you have a small internal team or just one overwhelmed designer, Moonb immediately levels up your creative capabilities.
Absolutely. Submit unlimited creative requests each month, covering animation, design, branding, and strategic creative concepts. We'll tackle them sequentially. One predictable monthly fee, unlimited possibilities.
Your subscription gives you instant access to your own dedicated Creative Director, motion and graphic designers, and illustrators. Every month, you get unlimited creative deliverables, unlimited revisions, strategic creative direction, weekly strategy calls, and guaranteed turnaround times.
Building an internal creative department takes months of hiring, onboarding, and management, and comes with substantial fixed costs and risks. With Moonb, you get immediate, scalable, high-quality creative output, expert strategic input, and total flexibility for less than the cost of a single senior creative hire.
For maximum flexibility, we offer a simple month-to-month subscription without long-term contracts. But if you prefer fixed long-term pricing and predictability, we're happy to create tailored quarterly or annual agreements upon request.
Not necessarily. Moonb is designed to either fully replace your need for an internal creative team or powerfully complement your existing team, allowing them to focus on what they do best, while we amplify your creative capacity and strategic depth.
Once you subscribe, you will receive an email within a few minutes containing two essential links.

Your Dedicated Creative Director will contact you immediately to schedule a first call, during which we'll gather all the necessary information to get started. We'll then create a content strategy plan and begin working on your productions. We will develop a content calendar with precise deliverables and a review process. You can be as involved as you wish or leave it entirely in our hands.
Almost everything creative: animations (explainer, product launches, campaigns), graphic design (social media, digital, print, packaging), branding (visual identities, logos, guidelines), and strategic creative consultation and concept development. (Web design and development are not included.)
Absolutely, you'll receive the working files, and you'll own all the intellectual property created.
As soon as you sign up, you'll be assigned a dedicated video team, supervised by a Creative Director who will be your main point of contact. You will be onboarded to our production platform, where you can oversee the entire process and manage each production.
Absolutely, your privacy matters to us. We can offer you our standard Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), or you are welcome to provide your own.
