Steve Pope

Founder

Initially started Instinct in 2015 as a “side-hustle” (and with no clue in the world what’s actually involved in running a business), Steve has grown it year upon year into an award-winning studio that partners with some of the best brands in the world.

CAST

He paced the narrow 4 walls of the restroom cubicle…

Hands clammy and trembling.

A rhetorical question ricocheting the inner dome of his skull:

“Am I really gonna go through with this?”

It was London, September 19th, 2015.

Approximately 4:29pm.

Our Founder, Steve, had just finished a team meeting at his day job, and rushed off to take a call in the restroom.

But it wasn’t just any call.

It was his first ever “sales call” for Instinct Animations.

And he had no idea what he was going to say.

He’d started this whole thing as a bit of an experiment.

A test of whether he had “what it takes” to actually start a business.

Surely nobody would actually take it seriously?

Yet here he was, with a prospect waiting on the other end of the line.

He cleared his throat, put on his most professional “I know what I’m doing” voice…

“Hello, it’s Steve Pope from Instinct Animations”.

Fast forward to today…

…and Instinct Animations has: 

  • produced videos for some of the World’s largest brands like AT&T, Pfizer, MasterCard, AstraZeneca, Unilever, Tetrapak, GSK, and others…
  • been spotlighted by some of the biggest animation and design companies in the world as “a top studio”, “best video production agency”, “best video design”…
  • invented (alongside a Hollywood Producer) a brand new video category for businesses…
  • learnt a ton about business, storytelling, and creativity…

And we’ve had a sh!t ton of fun while doing it.

Oh and in case you’re wondering…

No.

Steve didn’t make that sale.

He – as us Brits say – “royally F**ked it up”.
