Novelette is a micro motion studio at the intersection of strategy, creativity, and production. We help brands build moving worlds so they can scale beyond their biggest ambitions.
Everything’s faster now. The world of marketing has gone from static to dynamic and the first movers are much farther ahead. Basically: if you’re not in motion, you’re being left behind.
After years in the ad world, we realized most brands are locked out of video, held back by lack of capacity and tight budgets. When AI tools and big agencies don’t fit the brief, we’re the right-sized partner for the job.

Ben is a motion designer by trade with almost a decade in the industry, working with leading brands in entertainment, esports, apparel, and SaaS.

Who’s behind Novelette?
Don’t just take our word for it:
“Ben and Eleanor are outstanding creative and strategic partners.

Their ability to blend creativity with strategic insight makes them invaluable partners, and I cannot recommend them enough!”
— KATHERINE ANDREWS, SENIOR PRODUCT MARKETING MANAGER, READCUBE & PAPERS“Novelette knocked it out of the park! From their speedy communication to an incredible final product, I was thrilled with their go-getter attitude and ability to bring complex ideas to life.”
— NICOLE SAMUEL, WHYWITHCAI TALENT MANAGER“My team had a general idea for the concept with a sample script and Novelette was able to expand upon these ideas to develop a video that matched our vision and our marketing campaign goals. They also provided smaller segments that we've been able to reuse in other projects. Ben and Eleanor are very responsive, patient with ambiguity, and I look forward to working with them again on future creative works.”
