Pipedrive | We Make Sales Easy

Pipedrive shares its “by salespeople, for salespeople” idea with fast, energetic animation. The video uses simple line drawings and animated characters to show who uses the product. It also shows easy-to-understand animated mockups of the software. Instead of listing every feature, it focuses on how Pipedrive helps sales teams stay clear, focused, and organized. The result is a quick, confident video that makes Pipedrive feel like a must-have tool for salespeople.

The Explainer Formula (That Converts)

Problem-first storytelling: The messy sales process
The video starts by showing what sales teams really need—a way to see their work clearly and automate boring tasks. It shows salespeople overwhelmed by scattered devices and too much to do.
→ Lesson: You don’t have to focus on a big problem. Showing what your audience needs can be just as strong.

Feature delivery: Animated UI takes center stage
Instead of a real screen recording, the video shows simple, animated versions of Pipedrive’s software. The pipeline view is the star, showing how deals are tracked. Other features, like scheduling, are shown as easy steps inside the clean interface.
→ Lesson: If your software’s strength is clarity, make the UI the main focus.

Scene pacing: Fast and energetic
The video moves quickly. The narration is upbeat, and scenes cut sharply from one idea to the next. This matches the fast pace of sales work and keeps the viewer’s energy up.
→ Lesson: Match your video’s energy to your audience. Fast sales teams want a fast-paced video.

Creative Techniques Breakdown

  • The style uses clean line art with simple characters, mostly in Pipedrive’s green and yellow colors.

  • The narration is confident and quick, explaining the product like a fellow salesperson.

  • The video blends character animation with animated UI, connecting people to the software.
    → Lesson: A unique, friendly style helps your brand stand out and feel human.

Visual Style & Production Value (For Non-Creatives)

The video looks modern and fresh with simple line drawings and pops of brand colors on a white background. The animation is smooth, with clear UI transitions and fluid character movement.

Estimated production cost: $10,000 – $18,000

Disclaimer: We didn’t create this video. The cost and production details are our estimates based on industry experience.

Why the cost is this high:

  • Custom characters and scenes had to be designed and animated.

  • The UI mockups were carefully created and animated for clarity.

  • The concept “by salespeople, for salespeople” is well executed with unique visuals.

  • It took weeks of work including scripting, storyboarding, animation, and sound design.
    → Lesson: Simple styles can still take time and skill to make clear and polished.

Final Verdict

This video doesn’t just sell software. It sells confidence and control to sales teams. Pipedrive shows how it helps users organize deals and daily work easily. The tagline “We make salespeople unstoppable” fits the strong, upbeat message perfectly.

Understanding the B.R.A.V.E. Scoring System

The B.R.A.V.E. scoring system uses AI to deliver an unbiased evaluation of top-of-the-funnel B2B brand ads. It measures potential impact, memorability, and effectiveness by assessing five key components of a video ad or commercial. This system gauges an ad's capacity to drive brand recall and enhance salience, ensuring that creative work not only captures attention but also leaves a lasting impression.

What B.R.A.V.E. Stands For:

Each letter represents a key factor in determining an ad’s success:

  • BBoldness: Is the ad original, creative, or daring? Does it break away from generic B2B marketing, or is it just another forgettable corporate video?
  • RRelevance: Does it connect with a real buyer pain point? Is it addressing a specific frustration or need, or just listing product features?
  • AAttention: Does it grab and hold attention in the first few seconds? Is it visually or tonally engaging, or easy to skip?
  • VVibe: Does it create an emotional response—laughter, recognition, or surprise? Or does it feel like just another corporate info dump?
  • EEffectiveness: Will buyers remember the brand when they need a solution? Does the ad make an impact that lasts beyond the moment?

How It’s Applied to B2B Video Rating

Each video is scored 1 to 10 in all five categories, based on how well it meets the criteria. The total score (out of 50) is then divided by 5 to give a final B.R.A.V.E. score out of 10.

For example:

  • An ad scoring B-8 | R-9 | A-7 | V-6 | E-8 has a total of 38/50.
  • The final B.R.A.V.E. score is 7.6/10.

Why It Matters

B2B ads often struggle with being bland, forgettable, or ineffective. The B.R.A.V.E. system ensures they are judged by their ability to break through, connect with buyers, and drive action.

Simply put: If your ad isn’t B.R.A.V.E., it’s invisible.
