Animated Christmas Film for Nix Communications
Bringing Brands to Life Through Festive Animation
At Cass Productions, we are increasingly being commissioned to create animated films and branded content that connect emotionally with audiences. One of our standout projects in this space was the production of a heart-warming animated Christmas film for our client, Nix Communications.
Nix wanted a piece of festive content that would resonate with their audience, reflect their brand values, and stand out in the busy end-of-year period. Their marketing team approached us with an outline of a story and a vision to bring something special to their seasonal campaign.
Developing a Story-Driven Animated Christmas Film
From the outset, collaboration was at the heart of this project. Working closely with the Nix Communications marketing team, we developed the initial concept into a fully realised storyboard. We focused on making the narrative engaging and uplifting, while subtly showcasing the innovative and dependable nature of the Nix brand.
The story was told entirely without dialogue, which meant the animation had to do the heavy lifting in terms of both character expression and emotional storytelling. Every visual detail mattered, from the movement and personality of the characters to the design of the environments they inhabited.
Creating Bespoke Characters and Branded Visuals
A key part of the success of this animated Christmas film was the custom design of the characters and backdrops. We created every element from scratch, tailoring the animation style to match the tone of the story and the identity of the brand.
To strengthen the connection between the animation and Nix’s services, we incorporated specific products and systems into the animation. For example, we illustrated the exact phones and software used by Nix customers and made sure that Unify, one of their key partners, was represented naturally within the narrative. This integration of branded elements helped reinforce what Nix offers, without feeling overly promotional.
A Soundtrack That Told the Story
With no voiceover or dialogue, music played a vital role in the storytelling. We commissioned one of our regular composers to create a bespoke soundtrack that would underscore the emotional beats of the film and guide the viewer through the narrative arc.
The result was a seamless blend of visual and audio storytelling that conveyed warmth, connection, and professionalism all aligned with Nix’s brand values.
Rollout and Response
Once completed, the animated Christmas film was shared across multiple social media platforms and internal channels by Nix Communications. It quickly gained traction, drawing positive feedback from clients, partners, and staff. The festive, brand-aligned tone helped Nix stand out from their competitors and strengthened their visibility during a key time of year.
The animation also demonstrated the power of seasonal content to create lasting emotional impact while still aligning with business objectives.
