Artistic 2D animation is not just a stylistic choice—it’s a powerful marketing tool. It breaks creative barriers, captures attention, and delivers storytelling in a way that no other medium can. If you're looking for a fresh way to elevate your brand’s video content, animation might be the game-changer you need.
Our team works closely with you. In a structured, creative process, we dont miss anything on the line and keep your voice closely involved. Trust our top-tier animators and skilled professionals to handle every aspect of production.

"With Huckepack's expertise, brands can position themselves independently and positively in the market through charming illustrations and animations—far from boring corporate styles or stock aesthetics.

Understanding your brand, goals, audience, and platforms to ensure the animation aligns with your vision.
Ideally you already have a vision or outline crafted. From here we are happy to push your script to the next level.
Defining an artistic style that best represents your brand’s identity.
Visualizing the sequence and timing in rough sketches and perfecting it on that level before full production.
Showcasing key moments to preview the final look early on.
Designing immersive backgrounds that pull the viewer into the story.
Establishing movement and pacing to allow for feedback before finalization.
Refining the animation with polished lines.
Adding color, shadows, and effects like water, dust, and fire will bring the scenes to life.
Delivering the final video, ready for distribution.
By collaborating with us, "inbestergesellschaft" transformed a social media campaign for Greenpeace Energy with engaging 2D character animation. Our work brought their designs to life with dynamic and funny character acting, making the ads more captivating and effective.
Through our collaboration, "Peng e.V." received a vibrant and engaging 2D animated event ident that captured the essence of live jazz and effectively promoted their festival on Instagram and Facebook. The animations not only attracted attendees but were also repurposed for their event documentation, adding lasting value. The collaboration extends until now.
Our collaboration empowered "Fabian&Fred" (animation studio), to successfully develop and animate a 2d short film that not only aligned with the director's vision but also achieved international recognition, shown on more than 65 film festival, winning 7 awards and even being Oscar-shortlisted. By providing art direction, animation direction, and team training in Adobe Animate, we helped them build an efficient pipeline that could later be adapted for a 2D animated TV series. This project maximized their funding while equipping their team with the skills needed for future productions.
By working with us, "inbestergesellschaft" achieved clear communication for Roche`s rapid antigen COVID test (one of the first on the market for home testing), through warm and engaging animated explainers. This not only ensured precise COVID testing instructions for patients world wide, but also helped their brand stand out in the market.
Our collaboration enabled "btf" (entertainment studio), to seamlessly integrate a 2D animated sequence into their Disney+ mini-series "Pauline". Tasked with capturing the vintage aesthetic of early Disney cartoons from the 1940s and 50s, we provided art direction, character design, and animation within an ultra-tight two-month timeframe. The final sequence met the high expectations of streaming audiences, enhancing the world-building of the series, which continues to stream worldwide to an engaged and happy audience.
An independent animation studio with big love for 2d animation, quirky styles & storytelling.
