Bright 2021 ahead for two Eastbourne boys who’ve set up an amazing new business
Jack and Harry are amazing brothers – During Lockdown, they decided to launch their own online logo business.
They are aged just 15 and 12
but their project has taken off so
much a bright 2021 awaits the
Eastbourne pair.
Animate Our Logo creates an
animated logo for businesses, both
local and international, within a 72-
hour turnover period.
They create between 8 – 12 new
designs each month to help keep the
website and content fresh.
This means each design is only sold
for one month and as it expires is
replaced by fresh content
The boys are proud of what they
have achieved but realise the road to
success is a long one.
They said: “One of the first things we
have learnt in business is that not all
of the money is profit, so we are still
paying for some of the set-up costs.
“Once we have paid for this, we
would love to be able to buy a
PlayStation 5 and then after that we
plan on putting everything else in a
savings account for driving lessons
and a car when we are older.“We have already had some
amazing customers and reviews
from them, and this makes us proud
to live in Eastbourne.”
It’s been an amazing first four months.
They were first inspired by the
biographies of business figures such
as Steve Jobs and Duncan Bannatyne.
Dad David Knight said the homeschooling period through lockdown
had triggered the boys to have the
idea for animated logos.
It has taken off massively.
Two winners of the BBC Apprentice
have been in touch.
Joseph Valente, who won the show
in 2015, connected with the boys
online, and then posted about the
business on his social media to an
audience of thousands.
And Sarah Lynn, who won in 2017,
became a customer for the boys after
hearing about their business.
So, what awaits the dynamic pair in
2021?
The boys explain: “We have recently
created an exciting addition called
Animation Club. “This is a yearly membership with
lots of benefits. For only £97 the
member will receive a brand-new
animation sent directly to their email
on the first of every month helping
them to always have fresh social
media content throughout the year.
“They also receive a bonus animation
upon signing up meaning they
receive 13 animations as well
as a 50% discount against any
other animations plus having the
opportunity to join our members
only Facebook networking group.
“Our plan is to have 1000 Animation
club members onboard during 2021.”
They have become the youngest
ever Eastbourne Chamber of
Commerce members and, via dad,
belong to an Eastbourne based
networking BNI group where they
get to meet and speak with lots of
other local business owners.
They are set to complete their
second Diploma in the early part of
2021 which they have been studying
via The Internet Business School.They were given complimentary
access by company owner and
author Simon Coulson.
The boys go on: “We have
sponsored a brand-new media
platform called TALK BUSINESS
WITH… which launches in early 2021.
“This will help give us visibility to
a wider international audience of
business owners and entrepreneurs.
“The YouTube channel and podcast
already has a number of high-profile
names signed up to take part and we
are excited to be involved with this.”
