About Epipheo
Epipheo is an employee-owned video production company and animation studio headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Its work centers on turning complex subjects into clear visual stories, combining explanatory writing with animation, design and live-action filmmaking. The name combines “epiphany” and “video,” reflecting the studio’s emphasis on helping audiences understand an idea through a memorable narrative.
Founded in 2009, the company developed from short animated explainers into a broader production business serving startups, established enterprises and nonprofit organizations. Its capabilities span 2D and 3D animation, whiteboard animation, motion graphics, mixed media and live action. Projects range from product explanations and brand storytelling to customer testimonials, educational courses, recruitment campaigns and sales communications.
From message to finished production
Epipheo’s production offering covers discovery and message development, scriptwriting, visual concepts, storyboards, animatics, character design, voice recording, sound design and post-production management. It also offers ongoing retainer partnerships for organizations with continuing video needs. This range supports both individual films and broader video communications programmes, including social advertising, trade show content, landing page videos and thought-leadership material.
The studio works across technology and software, financial services, healthcare, consumer products and public-interest communications. Its commercial portfolio includes work for Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Cisco, Deloitte, US Bank, Procter & Gamble and Intel. The supplied company history records more than 6,000 videos produced for over 3,000 brands.
Expansion into entertainment
In November 2022, Epipheo established Epipheo Films as an internal division dedicated to long-form animation and original entertainment. Its productions include the hand-drawn animated feature Light of the World, developed and animated for The Salvation Poem Foundation, and Quokka’s Wild Life, an original animated family comedy series that premiered on Angel Studios in October 2025. This entertainment work extends the studio’s storytelling practice beyond commercial and educational communications into feature films and episodic animation.
