About
Spigit

Spigit was a data-driven innovation management software provider that helped large organizations capture, evaluate, and prioritize ideas at scale. Its value proposition was powerful but complex — requiring clear, compelling communication to engage enterprise executives, innovation leaders, and global teams across Fortune 500 organizations worldwide.




The
Challenge


1. Simplify a complex, science-driven innovation platform for diverse enterprise audiences.

2. Attract Fortune 500 executives with clear, credible messaging.

3. Support enterprise sales and adoption during a phase of rapid growth.




Our
Solution

To support these goals, Yum Yum Videos created two whiteboard animation videos for Spigit in 2016. Each video was designed for a specific enterprise audience — one focused on Fortune 500 executives and the other on innovation leaders within large organizations.

Using clear visuals, humor, and a recurring character, the videos translated Spigit’s complex, science-driven platform into simple, credible stories that could be used across sales conversations, executive presentations, and enterprise campaigns during a key phase of growth.

Why
It Worked

From strategy to execution, every detail was designed to make complex innovation understandable for enterprise audiences.

2. Audience-specific messaging — Each video was tailored to a distinct enterprise audience: Fortune 500 executives and innovation leaders.

3. Memorable storytelling — The use of humor and the Professor Spigit character made a complex topic engaging and easy to recall.

4. Sales-aligned content — Videos were designed to support enterprise sales conversations, demos, and executive presentations during a high-growth phase.
