If a picture is worth a thousand words then an animated one is worth at least a million. Animated GIF's, around since the dawn of the internet, have seen a resurgence in recent years in everything from meme's to high art and business.

Through an endless animated loop, they're able to become a powerful means of expression and communication. In short, a VERY powerful tool to have in your marketing toolbox.
