The Exaltus Story: From Math Geek to Storyteller
I’m Carole Alalouf, the President & Founder of Exaltus.
One day, many years ago, someone said something to me that forever changed the course of my professional life:
“We don’t need to know all the details. We believe you. Just tell us what we need to know and why we should care.”
Those were the words that led me to create Exaltus and to make it my mission to turn your complex information into a compelling visual story that will engage your audience, spark emotion, and inspire action.
Watch this short video to find out about the epic communication failure that started it all.
We’re a Little Obsessed
There are a lot of whiteboard animation companies out there. But we like to think we’re different. And that’s because we’re all a little obsessed with the idea of pushing the limits of our medium, giving you our very best work every time, and making sure you enjoy the experience. Here are some of the things that set Exaltus apart.
Nothing gets us more excited than “it’s hard to explain”.
Ideas can change the world. But only if you can communicate them in a clear and engaging way that moves people to act.
The trouble is that some of the best ideas are often the hardest to explain. Especially for the people who are closest to them.
We pride ourselves on having the smarts to understand your complicated information and the artistry needed to make it meaningful and engaging.
We like to think of ourselves as sculptors: Bring us your lump of clay and we’ll reveal and refine the parts that matter, and shape them into something meaningful.
We want your video to be the best we’ve ever made.
Someone we respect once challenged us to push the limits of whiteboard animation. And we’ve been obsessing about it ever since.
We hope to get there by one-upping ourselves with each new video, using the right illustrative styles, animation techniques and special effects to:
- Explain, persuade and inspire.
- Keep your viewers’ eyes glued to the screen.
- Make your ideas easy to digest quickly.
- Reflect the personality of your organization.
You’ll enjoy the process as much as we do.
Customer success is our religion. We want you to delight in the experience of working with us as much as you love the end result. Here’s how we make that happen.
- We listen to you. A lot.
- We manage the entire process, but you get to sign off at every stage so there are no surprises at the end.
- You have a single point of contact the whole way through. No repeating yourself to different people. Nothing lost in translation.
- Once you’re a client, we’re forever in your corner, helping you get value from your new video.

Hear From Our Recent Clients
“After showing everyone the videos, they were amazed!! There were lots of chuckles at the illustrations and sound effects, and even some “wows” at the statistics and facts that we have included. They have heard us talk about these facts and figures endlessly, but I think it really resonated with them when they saw the way that you presented them. It was exciting to see their reaction.”
“Carole distilled my words into a visual story and… WOW! She made my thoughts come alive in a fun, tangible way that made the ideas more accessible and more joyous.”
“We consider your videos the crown jewels of our campaign. We are proud to have partnered with you.”
“It is a delight to work with Carole Alalouf and Exaltus. Carole has enabled me to create educational messages that are dense with content but are presented in clear, accessible images. She converts complexity into clarity. She listens and she delivers- quickly and effectively. Her whiteboard animation is brilliant for linking multiple concepts into a simple, coherent whole.
I am so impressed by how quickly Carole ‘gets’ what I am trying to say and how quickly I have product to review. We have worked together for a few years now and she has never let me down. I lucked out when I ‘discovered’ Carole and Exaltus. I could not recommend a professional more highly.”
“I really appreciate your great communication on this project. We should have you give a lesson for our writers on best practices for working with clients.”
“It’s been a pleasure working with you. You’ve been professional, creative, responsive, flexible and in good spirits throughout the entire process. I’ve learned a ton from this project and have you to thank. I’d be happy to recommend you to others”
“When I presented the new whiteboard explainer video at our annual sales meeting everyone went crazy! They loved it! Carole and her team nailed our message. Exaltus has been a dream to work with. They are true professionals who are collaborative partners. I would highly recommend Carole and her Exaltus team!!!”
“As an award-winning company, we knew Exaltus would deliver a quality product. The most impressive part of our experience with Exaltus was the incredible level of service delivered consistently from the start of the project to the end. They worked with us to accommodate some challenging timelines and worked tirelessly to ensure our comfort throughout the process. The Exaltus team made suggestions that improved the process throughout…and continued to support us as we launched the videos they produced. An incredible experience we are sure to repeat.”
“I’m truly amazed at how Exaltus brought my words to life in this animation as I know this will help so many in my community take the next step in telling their story, investing in their personal brand and ultimately standing out from the noise!”
“It was one of the smoothest creative processes we’ve ever participated in, and we were exceedingly pleased with the results. Thank you, Exaltus!”
“Working with Exaltus was a pleasure. In addition to being experienced and knowledgeable, the team is very focused on customer service. We were very impressed by their listening skills and understanding of client needs, their knowledge and experience, their responsiveness, and their all-around professionalism.”
“I wanted to thank you for the great job you did on the videos. Everybody loves them. They’ve proven to be the best way to get potential customers to immediately grasp what we do and to see the benefits. Plus, we’re getting so much buzz on our social networks!”
