The demand for customer voices and stories has increased. Genuine customers are featured in advertisements, testimonials are pride-of-place on company websites and target customers are increasingly present in brand identity. VPI’s experience in market research interviews and illustrative video storytelling allows us to grow naturally into this space, now creating videos for external use as well as internal.

By 2009
VPI has developed an in-house 2d animation studio. Organisations are investing more money into communicating research (as opposed to just conducting it) to ensure their research is impactful and adds real value. Working with the trend, VPI begins to offer animation as an alternative method of visualising data and communicating key facts.

The unprecedented success of customer videos, which are adding value by communicating insights more effectively, gives rise to a new fit-for-purpose form of content. Day in the life videos, persona videos and segmentation videos are new methods of illustrating target customer groups and increasing engagement with internal messages.
