Storyboard Communications

What Storyboard Communications does

Storyboard Communications Corp. is a privately held, Ontario-domiciled video production services company founded in 2018, operating with a team of 11-50 employees out of Toronto. The company produces customized corporate video content spanning full animation, light animation, stock footage integration, screen capture, motion graphics, and custom voiceover recording, serving clients across multiple functional use cases including corporate communications, investor relations, account-based marketing, demand generation, sales enablement, marketing, customer success, and human resources. Named customers include Snowflake, McCain, Hospital for Sick Children, Jabra, SEPTA, Yotpo, Uberflip, People.ai, Trez Capital, and GCM Mining, spanning enterprise technology, healthcare, government, consumer goods, mining, and energy verticals.

The company's product portfolio is organized under the Storyboard Studios umbrella, with two sub-brands: Studios Express, a streamlined offering targeting mid-market customers with faster turnaround, and NewsBoost, which specializes in investor relations and press release video content. Underlying production assets include curated stock footage libraries, a catalog of music genres, multiple aspect ratio outputs, and a self-serve order platform layered on top of a primarily consultative, sales-led discovery call process. Pricing is quote-based, project-based, and billed as one-time licenses with multi-year contract cadence for enterprise engagements.

Revenue mechanics are services-based: project fees are determined by animation style, length, customization, voiceover, and music requirements. Go-to-market combines a direct enterprise sales motion (discovery call, demo request, dedicated 1-800 sales line) with a self-service channel for mid-market through Studios Express. The company operates as a Canadian corporation with North American focus, is privately held with no disclosed external funding, and is not a software platform or SaaS business but rather a professional services production studio positioned to deliver video across the full marketing and corporate communications buyer journey.
