Creative studio specializing in animation, illustration, and visual communication
Cartoonbase is a 11–50-person creative agency in Brussels with satellite studios in Lausanne and Paris. The team is design-heavy with a 7-person design department split between senior and intern levels, currently accelerating hiring across Belgium, France, and Switzerland. Their core stack—After Effects, Premiere Pro, Figma, and Adobe's suite—reflects a motion-graphics and illustration-first operation. Active projects (onboarding platforms, CEO vision content, digital communication assets, print materials) and pain points (aligning teams, managing change, simplifying complexity) show they're moving beyond one-off creative work into systems-level communication infrastructure.
Cartoonbase creates animations, illustrations, and motion-design content for corporate clients navigating communication and organizational change. The agency operates across five core verticals: explainer videos, e-learning content, change-management communications, branding assets, and live art for events. They combine traditional animation and illustration with graphical facilitation and visual harvesting—distilling complex topics and meetings into digestible visual narratives. The co-creative process means they embed with clients across project phases, from strategy through final asset delivery. Founded in 2000, they've built a regional footprint spanning three European cities.
After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Procreate, Illustrator, InDesign, Figma, Google Slides, and PowerPoint. Stack is dominated by Adobe motion and illustration tools alongside Figma for rapid prototyping.
Onboarding platform design, CEO vision communications, print materials, digital communication assets, and web UI content. They also run change-management, e-learning, and live event illustration projects.
