  • So…what does Salamandra UK actually do?

    We’re a visual storytelling agency that helps brands see what they mean. Using motion design and creative strategy, we turn complex ideas into captivating stories that connect - whether that’s a short explainer or a full-blown campaign.

  • Who do you work with?

    From fintech pioneers to pharma innovators and education changemakers - we work with anyone who’s got a story worth telling and wants to make the complicated beautifully clear.


  • What makes Salamandra UK different?

    We don’t just make things look good - we make them mean something. Our creatives and strategists work hand-in-hand so every frame, word and movement delivers your message with purpose (and a bit of magic).

  • How long does a project take?

    Most projects take between 4 - 8 weeks, depending on complexity. We guide you through every stage so you’ll always know what’s happening (and when it’s time to grab the popcorn)

  • Do you only create animations?

    Animation’s our heartbeat, but not our whole story. We also craft brand visuals, social campaigns, internal comms and live-action hybrids. If it moves, tells a story or needs a spark of imagination - we’re in.


  • What’s your process like?

    It’s creative, collaborative and crystal clear. We start by discovering your goals, move through scripting and storyboarding, then bring everything to life with motion and sound. You’ll see your story evolve frame by frame - no surprises, just creativity in motion.

  • Can you help with strategy as well as production?

    Absolutely. Great animation starts with great thinking. We help refine your message, understand your audience and shape a strategy that makes your visuals land with real impact.

  • How much does an animation cost?

    Every story’s unique and so is every budget. Once we know your goals, we’ll tailor the approach and give you a clear, transparent cost. No smoke. No mirrors. Just clarity.

How We Work

From first sketch to final frame - design, strategy, and animation that sing in sync.


We make the creative process simple, strategic and (dare we say it) fun.

Whether we’re shaping a brand identity, crafting a campaign or creating animation, every project follows our three-step framework, Plan, Produce, Publish - designed to take bold ideas from concept to captivating visuals that people remember.
Because in today’s world, animation is the new visual jingle - it’s how your brand looks, feels and stays top of mind.

  • Step 1 - Plan

    We start with strategy. Through discovery sessions, story exploration, and design thinking, we get under the skin of your brand - understanding your goals, audience, and purpose. Together, we shape a clear creative direction that aligns every element of your visual storytelling, from static design to motion.

  • Step 2 - Produce

    This is where your message comes to life. From storyboards and scripts to brand design and animation, our team transforms complex ideas into powerful, purposeful visuals. Whether it’s a 3D character narrative or a data-driven motion graphic, we create assets that are not just engaging but memorable - your very own visual jingle.

  • Step 3 - Publish

    Once your project’s complete, we deliver everything you need - optimised for web, social, events or broadcast. We’ll guide you on rollout strategy and best practices to help you get the most mileage from your new content and ensure your visuals keep singing long after launch.
