We are Cognitive Media, a multi-award winning animation studio based in Folkestone, Kent in the UK. We're the original creators of the iconic RSA Animate series, although you may also know us from our collaborations with TED-Ed. Our mission is to help people to discover and learn new stuff with the help of storytelling, drawing and animation.

You can see more of our videos on the Our Work section of the site.
We work with global clients from the private, public, charity, and community sectors and the projects we take on align with our values.
With the motto ‘Inspiring Minds Change the World’, we are looking to promote great ideas that aid progressive social change and often work within the education and charity arenas.
While we are best known for our hand-drawn style of videos we regularly work with agencies and clients directly to produce videos in a range of other styles including 2D, 3D and stop-motion. But we are not just animators, we are experienced visual storytellers.
We are proud to be working with TED, a nonprofit organisation who believe in the power of ideas to help bring about change in attitudes, lives, and the world. We collaborate with TED-Ed, who are committed to creating lessons worth sharing, and producing videos that aim to “capture and amplify the voices of the world’s greatest educators”.
We’re thrilled to announce we’ve recently had the opportunity to work with the excellent Professor Richard Wiseman, on an innovative new study comparing the psychological influence of a plain talking head clip, with that of a hand-drawn animated video. The results were really exciting!
