Tecala

Every generation has its iconic robot—Wall-E, R2D2, the Iron Giant. For Tecala, that robot is Cala. They envisioned a charming, animated brand mascot that could engage audiences, build brand recognition, and enhance their digital presence.

Tecala turned to Explanimate! to bring Cala to life through a high-quality animated video that would not only introduce their brand character but also captivate audiences across multiple platforms.

Discovery & Strategy

Tecala wanted their video to:
🤖 Introduce Cala as a relatable, memorable brand mascot
🎯 Engage a broad audience while showcasing their innovative services
📈 Encourage shares and boost brand visibility

To achieve this, we knew we needed a fresh, dynamic approach that blended 2D and 3D animation, keeping viewers intrigued and invested from start to finish.

Concept Development

Our team developed a hybrid 2D-3D animation style to create a visually rich, engaging experience. By seamlessly integrating both animation styles, we ensured:

- Striking, high-quality visuals that stood out in a crowded digital space
- An engaging narrative that guided viewers through Tecala’s brand story
- A flexible format suitable for various marketing channels, from social media to presentations

Visual Design

Bringing Cala to life required a perfect blend of technical precision and creative storytelling. We:

🎨 Designed Cala as an expressive, lovable character that audiences could instantly connect with
🚀 Used dynamic motion and engaging transitions to keep viewers hooked
🌟 Optimised colours, lighting, and composition to enhance the cinematic feel

Testing & Refinement

With multiple team members contributing across different disciplines, we worked through:

- Rigorous internal reviews to ensure seamless animation
- Scene refinements to balance pacing, clarity, and visual appeal
- Performance testing across platforms to maximise engagement potential

Launch & Results

The final animated brand video delivered above and beyond expectations—not only engaging Tecala’s audience but also expanding their reach through increased shares and visibility.

By leveraging character animation, hybrid 2D-3D techniques, and expert storytelling, we helped Tecala establish Cala as a brand icon, reinforcing their position as an innovative leader in their industry.
