Our Vision
Push the limits
We strive to be at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies. Researching, building and understanding the technologies so that they’re the perfect fit for our projects.
Trust & integrity
Honesty is the only policy. We have a long-term relationship mindset, not short-term fixes. We know the only way to achieve that is with attentiveness, care and openness.

Collaboration
The best way to achieve results? Together. By working closely in partnership at every stage of the process, we make sure to get the most out of your vision.
Human
Technologies, terminology and software can all get a bit confusing. We process the right information and communicate it back to you in a way that you’ll always understand.
Transparency
Our process and internal infrastructures are designed to keep communication simple and accessible. Giving you frequent updates exactly when you need them.
Our Story
Motion 12 was founded in 2018 by Sam, our managing director.
After several years of agency and freelance work, he realised how much clients valued his unique process of animation-led digital design. He had an innate ability to tell a story with his work and wanted to forge a team of like-minded individuals who would unveil the heart behind the brand, a story behind the product - and be excited to do it.
Where we’re at now...
Since then we have grown into a close-knit team of 9 specialising in creative design, animation and software development. We're located in the heart of Leeds, working with clients and partners worldwide. Every member of the team has a real passion for what they do - bringing distinctive skills and a wealth of experience to the table. We think big, we promote change, we thrive off telling your stories, sharing your beliefs and delivering experiences that will leave you buzzing.
Have an idea? It's time to tell your story.
