As soon as we saw your work we felt it would give us an edge when our service went out to tender. And, although we never knew our deadline, we felt totally confident that when we did you would be right there with us, and you were. Even when we threw you a few curveballs you still managed to deliver ahead of time allowing us to concentrate on our side of things.

It is amazing how well you understood our service and totally captured what we do. I really don’t know how, but you certainly ‘got us’. There is so much information given but it is provided in such an interesting way you don’t feel at all overwhelmed; it is lovely having something unique that tells people the story of our service in a way that suits us. In fact, we like what you did so much that we plan on ‘adopting’ some of your ideas for our publicity material!

When we show people our Dynamic Illustration we can tell how captivated they are and we couldn’t be happier.

I am absolutely delighted with the Explainer Video the team at Tickling Trout have put together for us. The response from everyone we have shown it to has been amazing, no-one has a bad word to say about it.

The voice over, images and overall production, however, pale into insignificance compared to the insightful, intelligent and independent guidance David and Jon provided, helping us get the message right. Without your help we would never have honed the message in the way we have, thank you.

I got a sense of the true professionalism of the team at Tickling Trout from just after my initial enquiry, with David calling me to discuss our requirements within about 30 minutes – and the excellent service just went on from there!

The process of creating our Dynamic Illustration with the whole TT team from start to finish was smooth, efficient and I have to say really, really enjoyable. They listened carefully to the challenges we face in our niche marketplace and helped advise and guide us with what was needed to achieve the end result we were looking for.

The net result is we now have our first ever Dynamic Illustration and the response both internally and externally has been great, so much so that we are already working on the plans for our next one!

Well done David, Jon and the team – Great experience!

It’s all too easy to make the information we want to put across too complicated. Tickling Trout’s experience in getting the balance right is invaluable allowing the viewer some light relief between the key messages Dynamic Illustrations are the way to do this consistently and at the same time being enjoyable to watch. Some of the subtle nuances in the artist’s interpretation actually made us understand our own pitch better!

I was very impressed by the original prospect email and in no way disappointed by the application of the process to produce my first company video. David and his team were approachable, helpful and good humoured in the way they assisted me in producing the Dynamic Illustration video. I think they were also sensitive to the fact that this was my first attempt to prepare such promotional material whilst busy working in my business. I would work with them again and have no reservation recommending them to other clients.

Expanding our business internationally with a niche SaaS product requires us to communicate who we are and what we do very clearly with leisure operators all over the world.

Tickling Trout helped us overcome this challenge by distilling our core message into a powerful 3 minute dynamic illustration and voice over.

The team at Tickling Trout were skilled at understanding our business quickly and delivered exactly what we wanted to achieve, on time and on budget.

We will be working with them as we develop our offering in more territories worldwide.

With two new and complex products in our portfolio, Attachmate’s challenge is educating and qualifying potential customers as quickly as possible, without endless presentations.

Using Dynamic Illustrations, our complex solutions are explained in less than three minutes and people get it. They are attractive, exciting and really fire customers’ imagination and best of all people will watch more than once and then show their colleagues.

They have been so well received that we have more videos under construction to be used in Attachmate’s world-wide locations, in multiple languages.

Working with Tickling Trout makes the process so easy, from script to storyboard to the end result

Our challenge was to come up with a way of quickly explaining what NFC is and what it can be used for, our Dynamic Illustration really hits the mark.

We took our Dynamic Illustration to WIMA NFC USA, an industry event in San Francisco, and had a very positive response.

Glenn Needham - Near Field Solutions

At The Barnet Group we are delivering a major transformational programme, Managing change messages are complex and given to very diverse audiences. Our dynamic illustration was a very powerful tool tailored to our message it was very successful and staff loved it.

Using visual aids to deliver key messages was for us at the Barnet Group very successful, we found the design team able to take our views and turn them into a dynamic visual tool that informed 500 staff, I watched staff totally focused on the message they loved it

This was a very innovative approach to communication, I was impressed how the team at tickling trout could turn my words into an illustration that informed over 500 staff, a great experience and something I would use in the future

Mandy Dunstan - Barnet Group

We had engaged Tickling Trout within our group of companies previously and were confident that with a good brief from us they would design a compelling Dynamic Illustration for Nutrition Complete. We were not disappointed. We used the Dynamic Illustration at the recent Leisure Industry Week event at the NEC and it really helped to get our message across.

The real bonus for us was that we required 3 subtly different versions and these were delivered on time and within budget.

Richard Clancy The Retention People

It is a challenge to convey the compelling key benefits of our offering to new customers. Our Dynamic Illustration enables us to pitch our story to all areas of an organisation, not just ICT.

This is vital as our benefits extend to business operations as well as ICT. It is a very effective way to get a message across and open dialogue.

Glenn Needham - NetMotion Wireless

We worked with Tickling Trout to produce a high quality video card. We wanted a promotional video that is different and has an impact when watched, and when added to a video card the impact was almost inevitable. The dynamic illustration that we featured in the video card was also translated into several different languages using voiceovers.

They were incredibly helpful in the design process and came up with some very interesting and creative ideas. The team were very accommodating of any changes we requested, especially with the difficulties in producing multiple versions in different languages. We sent the video card to the senior management at leading retailers who are usually very difficult to reach. The video card worked to perfection and has created a real interest in our product.

The Dynamic Illustration service from Tickling Trout® is the best ‘Word of mouth at scale’ solution I have seen so far.

The delivery process was quite painless and the creativity built into the end product was quite exceptional.

Grainne McCullagh - Guardian24

Tickling Trout® showed a deep understanding of our product and the marketplace, and the script was delivered in a matter of days. The idea of narrating the script over the phone before we received the document is a clever way for us to visualise the finished article before the animation commences.

Trevor Snaith - Skillweb

As soon as I saw an example of a Dynamic Illustration from Tickling Trout I knew we could use it to get our complicated sales message across in a succinct and entertaining way. And I’ve been proved right! The animation is perfect for illustrating our offering, and we’re now rolling it out to our offices in Canada and Australia.

Cat Young - DC Payments UK Ltd (formerly InfoCash Ltd)

LAN3 asked Tickling Trout to develop a Dynamic Illustration to assist with the launch of our new solution Reactive Network.

Tickling Trout worked with us to ensure that the animation projected the correct image for LAN3’s brand as well as defining Reactive Network in an easy way for our customers to understand the proposition.

We have received great comments from our customers on the animation, it has been instrumental in our lead generation through use within our overall marketing communications plan we will definitely be using Tickling Trout again.

Caroline Thomas - LAN3 Network Solutions

met the guys from Tickling Trout at a Leisure Industry conference. I liked the idea of a Dynamic Illustration straight away as I thought it would compliment our existing videos. I saw an opportunity to tell our story in a compelling way whilst explaining in simply terms the complex technology built into our Water to go bottles. The finished result delighted our team and our Dynamic Illustration has been well received by partners and customers alike. It is likely that we will commission Tickling Trout to produce foreign language versions in due course. All in all it’s a great product and terrific service.

Dave Shanks - Water-to-Go

We were looking for something striking and different to the usual adverts and corporate gifts as part of a new marketing strategy. We found exactly what we wanted with a Tickling Trout dynamic illustration.

The process was remarkably easy. During an initial meeting with Jon & David, we listed key elements of the message we wanted to communicate. Tickling Trout then supplied us with a script for consideration and we selected a voice, whilst Tickling Trout generated the graphics. Shortly afterwards the final illustration was presented to us for approval.

It felt like a collaborative effort from start to finish and as the client we were involved at all stages. Tickling Trout listened, responded and added their magic to deliver exactly what was required. I thoroughly recommend their services.

Keith Rackham - PEV Ltd

The team at Tickling Trout have been an absolute pleasure to work with for our dynamic illustration at SMART Way Forward. From our first initial meeting to discuss and explore all the various options, they were friendly, helpful, creative and very consultative. Nothing was ever too much trouble and we felt our contribution (no matter how big or small) was always considered and followed through professionally.

We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Tickling Trout to any of our clients, customers or partners. They are a fantastic company to work with and have a natural creative flair for dynamic illustrations. Thank you so much!

Nadeem Shaikh - Smart Way Forward

Tickling Trout brought our new vision and values to life in a very engaging way for the audience at our staff conference and were able to amend the animated presentation for us to use on our website too.

Nothing was too much trouble and kept us regularly updated with progress. We are delighted with the result.

Catherine Bellis - Magenta Living, Merseyside

You have made, what could have been a difficult project, into a meaningful and pleasurable experience. Our challenge with Pierian was the difficulty in understanding from the potential buyers perspective, exactly what our proposition was. From the ‘get go’ your ability to listen and interpret the proposition into the finished article has been nothing short of superb.

We launch today with a renewed confidence that our message has clarity.

Frank Masson - Pierian

Following on from our recent Dynamic Illustration, I am absolutely delighted with the result. It was an in-depth message but Tickling Trout® really pulled it off, it’s better than I could have hoped for and we are all chuffed to bits. How your team were able to turn it around is testament to your overall efficiency. You guys are great and this is the first of many I’m sure.

Paul Ballard - 3di

We were most pleased with the animated video produced by Tickling Trout. The entire experience from start to finished product was pleasant and straight forward.

The objective of getting the right information out of us, so that it could be translated into a video production was handled excellently by David, especially as we were working to a tight deadline to get it done before a major event that we were sponsoring.

Changes and amends to the product were executed quickly and without any objections and the result is an excellent storyboard production that we are very happy with.

Thank you for your excellent work

CEO and founder

We constantly look at innovative ways to engage with new audiences and to stand out in a hugely competitive market place. We knew video was the way to do it, but until we met Tickling Trout didn’t really know how to get our message across succinctly and in a visually enticing way. TT removed that headache! From helping us shape the brief, to developing the storyboard, selecting the voiceover and final production, the whole experience was efficient, professional and lots of fun! Want video? Want no more…Tickling Trout are the guys for you!

Rachel Fuller - Future Fit

The Dynamic Illustration produced by Tickling Trout was just what we needed to help explain a specific and challenging concept. The step-by-step process was simple and easily implemented. Our edits and rewrites of the first draft storyboard were quickly adopted and the end result is exactly what we needed. The nature of the Dynamic Illustration for carrying a message in a compelling way has already given us ideas for more projects in the future.

David Crane - Cadtek

Thank you very much for supporting us with the video, your patience and attention to detail in getting the message, graphics and the feel right. It made the whole process enjoyable and fun for our team.

We really appreciate your flexibility when working with us; a company that knew what they needed but did not know how to get there.

The video came out so much better than we had hoped and that is due to you understanding what we were trying to achieve.

It’s been a joy working with you and we look forward to working together very soon

Jean O’ Connor - Simplicity for Business Ltd

Tickling Trout were recommended to us by a respected supplier of marketing intelligence so we were expecting a great experience, however the service, attention to detail and finished result surpassed our high expectations and delivered an illustration on time and on budget and one we are delighted with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Company as an excellent, responsive and talented supplier of Dynamic Illustrations.

David Lee - Springfield

I have worked with Tickling Trout for a number of years on various projects throughout my career.

David, Jon and the team are an absolute pleasure to work with and have contributed to very successful marketing strategies. Our most recent Dynamic Illustration created really helps us to explain our service in a straight forward way.

We have had very positive feedback from clients, prospects, partners and suppliers and we couldn’t have created this as quickly and efficiently without the team at Tickling Trout. The creation of the Dynamic Illustration was seamless and we collaborated throughout the process which made it fun.

I would recommend Tickling Trout to any organisation who wishes to create something different which will have global appeal.
