Algo Product Information

Algo — Video Automation is a data-visualization studio that specializes in turning data into videos at scale. The team builds dashboards and workflows that transform complex data into engaging video content, enabling automated, data-driven storytelling across campaigns, products, and platforms. With a focus on motion + data, Algo delivers end-to-end video production tooling, templates, and bespoke solutions for brands and organizations.


What Algo Does

  • Creates motion toolkits, generative systems, and tailor-made tools to empower teams to produce videos effortlessly.
  • Delivers wrapped campaigns with a unique film for every user segment and audience.
  • Builds fully autonomous video campaigns that track the evolution of dynamic phenomena (e.g., sports, finance, health data, politics).
  • Produces a range of video outputs—from dashboards-as-videos to data-driven narratives and editorial-style visuals.
  • Works across industries and partners with renowned brands and institutions (e.g., media outlets, corporations, and public-interest projects).

How It Works

  1. Brief & Data Analysis: Define the project scope, data sources, triggers for video creation, and target outputs.
  2. Data Storyboard & Dashboard Mockup: Design scenes that highlight data variability and create a launch interface for campaigns.
  3. Design: Establish the video’s visual language using moodboards and style-frames, incorporating data-variability in the narrative.
  4. Animation & Video Pilot: Add animation, music, and sound; produce two to three customized video pilots using real data.
  5. Dashboard Dev & Data Integration: Build access to the dashboard, integrate input data, and develop video delivery channels.
  6. Video Automation: Code the video pilot into a reusable template that responds to data through the Algo platform.
  7. Cloud Setup & Testing: Deploy dashboards and templates in the cloud; test with both teams to identify and fix issues.
  8. Go Live: Launch automated video campaigns and enable daily video production; ongoing support during live operations.
