Animation studios · Digital marketing
Put the studio in front of commissioners through the few channels that bring real briefs.
Digital marketing for an animation studio is the set of search, social, email and outreach work that brings briefs to the studio and holds clients afterwards. GullySales chooses the channels that reach your commissioners, links them to proper entry pages and records which one brings the work you want.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What digital marketing means
Digital marketing is the combined work of search, social media, advertising and website channels running together rather than as separate projects with separate people. GullySales runs these as one connected system so a change in one channel, such as a new offer, is reflected everywhere at once.

For animation studios
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“A studio spreads thin across every platform”
A small team opens accounts on six platforms and feeds none. Two channels done well, aimed at known buyers, bring more than six done badly.
“Paid search suits some briefs and not others”
A buyer searching for a product explainer is ready to ask for a quote, so a paid search can pay. A series producer is not found by search at all and is better reached by introduction.
“The portfolio is the product”
In animation the sample is the proof. Whichever channel brings the visitor, the landing page must show a piece that matches the brief. A general homepage loses the visitor who came for one thing.
“Email is still how agencies and brands decide”
A short note with one sample to a named producer does more than a post. Keep a list of the people who have asked to hear from you and write to them when a relevant piece is finished.
What we do
What we deliver for animation studios.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Channel plan by buyer
A plan naming the channels for each buyer type: search for explainers, outreach for agencies, introductions for producers.
Result: A one-page plan listing each channel, its buyer and its landing page.
Entry pages for each campaign
Pages built for the campaign's brief, with a matching sample and an enquiry form.
Result: Every campaign sends visitors to a page that opens on a matching sample.
Search advertising for explainer work
Ads and a landing page for the searches that show a ready buyer, with spend limits you set.
Result: An account in which each ad points to one page and each enquiry is tagged to its ad.
Email list and short notes
A list of clients and contacts who agreed to hear from you, and a note format for sharing one new piece.
Result: A list with consent recorded, and a note format you can reuse.
Source and enquiry tracking
A sheet counting enquiries, quotes and signed projects by channel.
Result: A table that shows which channel brings the briefs you want.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries across channels
- Cost per enquiry overall
- Channel mix by contribution
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
