What Is an Explainer Video and Are Explainer Videos Effective for Business?

Employee Generated Content

Marketing Managers and Directors in finance, legal, and healthcare face a common challenge: how to explain complex, regulated services clearly – without oversimplifying or losing your audience.

The solution? Explainer videos. But not just any explainer video – custom, high-impact productions that cut through complexity and deliver clarity.

At Big Yellow Feet, we specialise in creating bespoke explainer videos that align with your brand, engage your audience, and simplify even the most technical topics. Here’s everything you need to know.

What Is an Explainer Video?

An explainer video is a short, focused video that breaks down a product, service, or concept into clear, engaging content. Unlike generic templates, Big Yellow Feet’s explainer videos are custom-built for your business, crafted by:

  • Experienced scriptwriters – to ensure your message is sharp and audience-focused
  • Professional videographers and directors – for high-quality visuals that enhance credibility
  • Graphic artists – to bring abstract ideas to life with animation
  • Voice-over artists – to match your brand’s tone and style

The result? A video that explains, engages, and converts – without compromising accuracy or professionalism.

Why Explainer Videos Work for Professional Services

In sectors like finance, legal, and healthcare, complexity is the norm. Explainer videos bridge the gap between technical detail and audience understanding. Here’s why they’re so effective:

  1. Simplify Without Oversimplifying

Big Yellow Feet’s scriptwriting team works with you to turn jargon into clarity, ensuring your message is accessible without losing depth.

  1. Humanise Your Brand

Through professional filming, interviews, and directed visuals, your business comes across as credible, approachable, and expert.

  1. Support Internal & External Communication

Explainer videos aren’t just for marketing. They’re powerful tools for training, onboarding, and stakeholder updates—especially in regulated industries.

  1. Align with Your Brand Identity

From brand-aligned animation to professional voice-overs, every element is tailored to reflect your organisation’s tone and visual identity.

What Makes a Good Explainer Video?

A great explainer video isn’t about flashy effects—it’s about clarity, collaboration, and craftsmanship. Here’s what sets ours apart:

  1. Strong Scriptwriting

We start with a collaborative scriptwriting process, ensuring your story is accurate, engaging, and audience-focused.

  1. Professional Filming

Our directors and camera operators capture high-quality footage, including interviews and visuals that enhance understanding and credibility.

  1. Brand-Aligned Animation

Animation brings ideas to life, helping to illustrate processes, workflows, and concepts that are hard to show on camera.

  1. Professional Voice-Over

We source voice-over artists who match your brand’s tone, ensuring your message is delivered clearly and consistently.

Industry-Specific Explainer Videos

Big Yellow Feet adapts explainer video production to your sector’s unique needs:

Healthcare

Explaining medical procedures and health products requires sensitivity, clarity, and precision. Our healthcare videos focus on helping audiences understand without overwhelming them.

Finance

Financial information can feel complex or intimidating. We make it accessible and engaging, helping firms communicate value clearly.

Technology

Technology businesses benefit from videos that simplify abstract concepts, allowing prospects to quickly grasp what’s being offered.

Education

Educational explainer videos enhance learning by presenting information in a clear, structured, and visual format.

How Long Should an Explainer Video Be?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The key? Long enough to explain, short enough to hold attention.

At Big Yellow Feet, we script each video individually, ensuring the length matches the topic’s complexity. Explaining a medical procedure or financial product may require more depth than a simple product overview—but our bespoke approach ensures clarity without unnecessary detail.
