Ember is a startup which automatically categorises business spending, taking the hassle out of small business accounts. Our job was to create an engaging crowdfunding video to simply explain the concept and benefits through visual storytelling and motion graphics.
After working through several concepts, scripting and planning, we filmed the video in a single afternoon at a friendly co-working space, helping to keep costs down. With a clear, modern crowdfunding video behind them Ember raised £250k to launch their business.
