Why Magazine Needs Whiteboard Animation

In the Magazine sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Whiteboard Animation delivers measurable results that transform how magazine professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Magazine

Magazines bring a distinctive editorial eye to video production — their strength lies in art direction, visual storytelling, and the cultivation of aesthetic sensibility that defines their brand. Cover shoot behind-the-scenes videos, editor's pick features, and seasonal trend forecast videos extend the magazine's authority from print to screen. Fashion and lifestyle magazines lead in this transition, with video versions of editorial spreads generating social engagement that print alone cannot achieve. The challenge is maintaining the curated, aspirational quality of the magazine brand in a medium that rewards raw authenticity. Subscriber-exclusive video content — interviews with cover subjects, extended photo shoot footage, and editor commentary — provides a digital membership value that supports subscription revenue.

Video Challenges in Magazine

Thriving in the Video-First Media Landscape

82% of internet traffic is now video content. Media companies must produce broadcast-quality video at editorial speed and scale. The shift from text-first to video-first newsrooms demands new workflows, skills, and equipment — while maintaining journalistic standards and editorial integrity.

Digital media competes for attention in 15-second increments. Content must hook viewers instantly, work silently with captions, and adapt to multiple platform formats. Traditional media must reinvent itself while digital-native outlets raise production quality expectations.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Digital Media Pivot to Video

A digital news outlet pivoted to video-first content strategy. Their audience tripled in 18 months, advertising revenue grew 230%, and they secured a distribution deal with a major streaming platform based on the quality of their documentary content.

Key Benefits for Magazine

Audience Growth & Monetization

Media video drives sustainable growth: video news content generates 6x more social shares than text, multi-format repurposing extends content lifespan 5x, and video-first newsrooms see 65% higher audience engagement. Media brands with strong video presence command 3x higher CPM rates from advertisers.

Our Whiteboard Animation Process

Motion Design Process

1. Script & Storyboard: We translate your message into a visual script with detailed storyboard frames showing keyframes, transitions, and timing.

2. Asset Design: Custom illustrations, icons, typography, and graphic elements are created in your brand style guide. Character design and rigging if needed.

What Makes Whiteboard Animation Unique

Whiteboard animation simulates a hand drawing illustrations on a white surface in real time, making complex topics feel approachable and easy to follow. We script, illustrate, and animate the entire sequence using VideoScribe and After Effects, with a custom hand asset matched to your brand's style. This format excels for internal training, investor pitches, and educational content where step-by-step visual building aids comprehension. A 2-minute whiteboard video takes 7-10 business days. Deliverables include the final MP4 plus individual illustration frames as PNG files for use in print or presentations.

What You Receive

You receive: animated video in all formats, source project files (After Effects/C4D), individual asset library (AI/SVG), Lottie files for web integration, GIF versions for social, and style guide documentation for future animations.
