Thirty seconds, one message, zero channel-surfing.
Quick answer: Gisteo produces custom animated commercials (2D, motion graphics and AI-assisted) for TV, connected TV, YouTube pre-roll and social. Spots up to 60 seconds start at $3,500 and delivery takes 2–6 weeks. An animated commercial is a short ad, usually 15–60 seconds, that uses animation to grab attention, explain an offer and drive a specific action. Compared with explainer videos, the pitch is stronger and more direct, and the story is built for short, interrupted attention.
