Questions? Good.
Straight answers about how this works. Don’t see yours? Ask us.
The basics
What is an animated spot ad?
A TV commercial starring animated characters made for your business. It comes with a jingle and runs on your local TV station like any other commercial.
What does “one business per category, per market” mean?
In your business category and your market, nobody else can use your characters or jingle. For example, one HVAC company per market gets a given set. A different HVAC company in another city could have the same syndicated set with their own name on it.
Custom Animation or Syndicated Animation: which is right for me?
Custom Animation gives you characters made from scratch, only for you. Syndicated Animation gives you a finished set that’s ready now and branded with your name. Both are exclusive in your category and market.
Buying and using it
How do I buy it?
Through your local TV station. Their sales team handles the package and your airtime. Not sure who to call? Start with the market check and we’ll connect you.
Can I put the characters on my trucks, signs, and caps?
Yes. Use them on TV, your website, social, YouTube, van wraps, yard signs, caps, shirts, and giveaways. Your logo goes right into the art, so it looks like it belongs there.
What do I need to provide?
Your logo files, your colors, phone number, website, and the services or offer you want to push. If you have a license number or a line you must say, send that too.
What if someone in my category already has my market?
We’ll tell you right away. You can go with Custom Animation, look at another syndicated set, or ask us to let you know if it opens up.
For TV stations
