Our customers are the most important part of our business. And Cvent has been a great customer for a long time. It is our obligation to provide animations that are extraordinary, but always with the customer’s goals and aspirations in mind. We always work to make these animations beyond eye catching. It needs to tell a story that is engaging from the very first second to the closing shot. Our area of expertise, and our passion, involves motion design, creative illustration, 3D modeling, amazing storytelling, and what makes it all possible is the great working relationships we have with our clients.
We have worked with Cvent on many animatons over the past three years. These productions are an equal partnership. For Cvent Connect 2021 alone we have helped create many animations of various forms from explainer videos, to sizzle reels, to advertisements and our most adventurous work yet, the Cvent Connect 2021 Intro animation in 3D presented on the big screen in the lobby of Caesar’s Forum. We look forward to the big event at the start of August and to the next adventure!
As you can see, we have worked on many different types of Cvent animations. The Rising video, below, is one that we have a great deal of fun with. Experimenting with a number of visual techniques to create these cool effects. As always telling the story is key and here we illustrate how Cvent has weathered the storm and has emerged even stronger.
Recently we were asked to assist Matter, Inc with a pretty large app project, for Act-On. The project was based on an architecture that consisted of creating numerous how-to videos and building an app to make it more interesting for the user, while gathering pertinent marketing information.
The work on the videos was significant, as alway it is imperative to make explainer videos both informative as well as engaging. Given SAC Designs’ animation track record, we accomplished that objective to everyone’s approval.
Then there was the supporting app, which made the process way more fun. The app was designed and implemented to allow a signed-in user to choose a path that best interested them. Once on that path the user is directed to make various selections, each of which kicks off an associated video. Meanwhile, the data attributed to the user’s interests is being collected. The great thing about using an app like this is to keep the videos highly targeted, brief in presentation time and the user engaged. Also, notice the SVG Icons we created, shown below, they are completely scalable without loss and fully animated. We greatly enjoyed working in partnership with both Matter and Act-On, to get this project launched.
We have created thousands of marketing-related pieces for our client, ACI Worldwide, and this recent magazine design is just one of them. SAC Designs was asked to push the boundaries of ACI’s brand style guides to create a custom look for the companies bi-annual magazine, ACI Worldwide Payments, in order to show off their range of capabilities. The completed magazine consisted of custom illustrations, infographics and photography.

We often partner up with other design companies and businesses when they are looking to utilize the latest trends in video animation and HTML5 animation design. 360 Communications and Nationwide came to us for help with one of their biggest initiatives yet. It was an honor to work with them on their latest financial and retirement campaign. These deliverables consisted of nine unique HTML5 banner ads, three two-minute explainer videos and nine responsive email blasts. Take a look below and feel free to contact us with any questions. If you like these examples, check out our latest HTML5 animations.
We knew that HTML5 banner animations have been gaining popularity over the years, but this has been our biggest banner ad deliverable yet. The reason HTML banner ads are becoming so popular is because they reach virtually anyone on any device. Nationwide recognized the potential to reach a wider audience using HTML banner ads. We created over 250 banners for Nationwide! This included nine campaigns, each of them having multiple sizes for different publications.
Along with the banner ads, SAC Designs was asked to create three two-minute explainer videos to demonstrate the complicated idea of stocks, bonds and retirement funds in a simple, clean and visually engaging way that was easy to understand. The goal was to get viewers to take a look at Nationwide Funds and contact them for more information. This campaign was a joint success for Nationwide, 360 Communications and SAC Designs. We are proud to have been able to work on this project, delivering all the videos and banner ads within a two month timeframe that went well beyond everyone’s expectations.
Over the last few years, SAC Designs has been helping local businesses around Stoneham MA and the Boston area to boost their online presence, increase rankings and convert more leads to sales. When Rob Salafia from the Protagonist Consulting Group came to us for a refined brand identity and complete website refresh, we did the same. Just as Rob does with his executive coaching, we stepped forward, focused our attention, and aimed high!
Along with designing a clean, bright, easy to navigate new website, we also updated all social media channels to present a unified online presence. You can view the full PCG site at http://protagonistconsulting.com/
In order to help UNFI gain prospective customers, suppliers and career seekers, we designed a clean, energetic, modern and easy-to-manage website to better reflect UNFI’s brand principles. We also developed extensive style guides to provide a seamless process from design to programming, detailing everything from Hex color to rollover and animation. See the UNFI website in action.
We created a fully functional application for Bi-Sam, a leading provider of sophisticated digital financial solutions for performance, attribution, risk, GIPS compliance and reporting. We worked closely with the Bi-Sam team to help customize their user interface (UI) for easy navigation across a complicated application, and to create custom icons and symbols, drop down navigations, interactive charts and diagrams as well as a 33-page style guide for future development.

SAC Designs teamed up with Nimblebot to create an animated explainer video to help promote the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. Nimblebot supplied the art and we animated up a storm. The goal of the video was to showcase SMFA’s program offerings and the students’ freedom to chart their own course. The animation was all done in After Effects using a mix of puppeting and inverse kinematics rigs. The end result is sure to turn some heads. See more of our cool explainer videos.
Genscape wanted to create a client-facing app to host reports, alerts and news, and present this complex information in a clean, edgy, easy-to-digest way. We worked closely with Genscape to help develop the user interface (UI) design and fully developed prototypes for all pages of the app such as for the login, navigation, splash, and report page. See more marketing design!
We know how to pack a punch when it comes to kickass explainer videos. SAC Designs created custom illustrations and animations for a 2 minute animated explainer video for Nimblebot filled with super powered animation that put our client in the spotlight. For our latest project (for client Nimblebot), we couldn’t think of anything more fun than fighting robots! The goal of the video was to raise awareness about protecting net neutrality. To take the story to epic proportions we created some eye-catching, hand-drawn illustrations. Then we brought them to life using a puppeting technique in After Effects, and added custom sound effects for some classic superhero style. The end result is sure to create a buzz. And bonus: this project was perfectly suited to Izak’s robot love! See more of our cool explainer videos.
