Most explainer videos don't fail because of bad animation or weak voiceover (although sometimes that doesn't help). They fail because of strategy. In a new article on DesignRush, Wienot Films founder and creative director Marc Strong breaks down three common mistakes that make explainer videos harder to understand — and less effective at driving action: → Leading with your product instead of your audience → Leaving emotion out of the equation → Trying to say too much If your explainer video isn't performing the way you hoped, the fix probably starts before the script does.

There’s no single path into creative work. Our founder and creative director, Marc Strong, started as an intelligence analyst—writing for policymakers and learning how to communicate clearly under pressure. That experience still shapes how Wienot Films thinks about creative work today. Marc recently shared more about that path—and what stands out to him now as a judge for The Telly Awards: https://lnkd.in/gXPrNC2e Final extended deadline to enter: March 27. If you’ve created something bold this year, now’s the time to put it forward. #TellyAwards #Storytelling #CreativeDirection #Video

We love working with Liv Austen as well. Her voice is amazing and she's a class act. What makes our job extra fun is when clients, like BRG, allow us to get fun and creative with their explainer video and corporate training projects! #explainers #corporatetraining #vo #compliance #training

Fifteen years ago, Wienot Films began with a simple question: Why not? Why not...follow a creative calling? Why not...take a risk? Why not...build an animation studio dedicated to making complex ideas clear through story? Today, that question has come full circle. We’re proud to share that our founder and creative director, Marc Strong, has been selected to serve as a Judging Council Member for the Telly Awards — one of the most respected honors in global video and television storytelling. Founded in 1979, The Telly Awards recognize excellence across all screens, celebrating the most innovative and impactful work from around the world. Judging Council Members are selected from industry leaders tasked with evaluating the very best in video, animation, and creative craft. For our team, this recognition reflects something we’ve believed from the beginning: great animation isn’t just about visuals. It’s about clarity, strategy, and storytelling that truly resonates. We’re honored to see Marc contribute to shaping the future of our industry and excited to continue raising the bar in animated explainer videos and visual storytelling.
