Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?

Greetings! My name is Mike Doyle and I own an animation company called Drive 80 Studios. My flagship product is creating custom explainer animations that tell people what your company does in 60-seconds. I also create logo animations that give your youtube videos a professional touch. And recently have gotten involved in creating custom Instagram Stories stickers.

My main customers are a bit of a mix. For explainer animations, it’s usually start-ups (with an actual budget) who have a hard time explaining what their product is. They typically will use this in their marketing and before sales meetings. I also have a ton of marketing companies who bring me on to animate collateral they create for their clients.

Logo animations are for any company that markets with a ton of videos. And the Instagram stickers have been very popular with Realtors because they do a ton of Instagram Stories to educate their customers on new listings, sales, and to build their personal brand.

Explainer animations run between $5,500 and $7,500. Logo animations are between $200 - $500. And Instagram Stickers start at a 5-pack for $350. My hourly rate is $100/hour...
