A Melbourne studio creating animations and illustrations that deliver.
Why work with us?
Why work with us?
We don’t do everything.
Purposely.
A lot of agencies spread themselves thin; they offer branding, strategy, copywriting, photography, web design, and whatever else they can fit on the list. That’s not us.
At Paperboy, we have one mission: to make brilliant animations that deliver real results. You get the focus and expertise of a highly specialised team - hands-on creators who make sure every detail hits the mark.
Smaller team.
Bigger results.
With no big agency overheads, Paperboy offers much better value for money - more of your budget goes into actually making your animation look and perform its best.
Every project matters personally, and you deal directly with the people creating your animation - fast and accurate responses, quick revisions, and a project that stays on track. The result? A stronger, more effective animation that delivers real impact for your audience and your business.
Bespoke design
NO stock assets. Ever.
The boom in stock asset sites means many companies use the same predesigned assets for their projects, resulting in work that looks as generic as everyone else’s.
With an extensive design background, Paperboy will ensure the heroes of your animation are beautifully designed to stand out from the competition, increasing engagement and strengthening your brand identity.
