The 10 Best Explainer Video Companies in the USA

Explainer video companies in the US speak your language, have less communication issues & are where you want your video to be made

The 10 Best Explainer Video Companies in the USA

The freedom Americans have is unique. They can visit just about any country in the world, work in one of the strongest economies in the world, and even change how it works by getting into politics.

This freedom not only helped make the USA a global powerhouse, it also supported it to become a hotbed for highly creative companies and people. 

This is why it naturally is one of the best places to find a top-tier explainer video production company. So, if you want your video to turn out fantastic, look no further than the good ol’ Red, White & Blue. 

The following 10 explainer video production companies earned their way to be top producers based on six criteria: expertise, communication, services, price, client feedback & customer experience:

  • Sharp Eye Animation
  • Common Craft
  • Thinkmojo
  • Explainify
  • Studio B
  • Sandwich Video
  • Demo Duck
  • Epipheo
  • Lemonlight Media
  • New Revolution Media
