Company: Business Information Graphics Title of Entry: “The Technology Gap and How to Bridge It 2-Minute Explainer” Client: Compuware Corporation Location: New York, New York Category: 127. Animation

Business Information Graphics is a 25-year-old New York City-based company that has created a distinctive niche in advertising and marketing.  The agency pioneered graphic videos called the “2-Minute Explainer.” In the past several years, many other companies have copied their format.

Business Information Graphics takes reams of information and compresses the facts, statistics, and interviews into a short video. Using graphics, a narrator, soundtrack, and sound effects, the video creatively delivers a succinct message to a targeted audience. “The Technology Gap and How to Bridge It” takes its cues from 1980 era video games.
