🎯 Case Study: How award-winning US agency Rival Mind supercharged motion

🐢 The Challenge: Slow & Fragmented Animation

Before discovering Linearity Move, Rival Mind—a full-service digital marketing agency—was navigating the creative process across a fragmented landscape of tools.

Designing visuals in one app, animating them in another, editing photos elsewhere, and finally piecing it all together. Sound familiar?

It worked, but it took time and definitely slowed us down,” the Rival Mind team shared.

Their design and animation process wasn’t just time-consuming—it created a disjointed workflow that often pulled designers out of their creative rhythm and required heavy cross-functional collaboration with video editors. That extra layer of back-and-forth? It led to longer turnaround times and risked misalignments between static visuals and animated execution.
