From creation to activation: we produce and publish content with a virtual ambassador aligned with your brand, or we create a fully custom one for you.

Our solutions

Your challenges,our virtual influencers

For brands

You want to stand out, without burning out. A well-designed virtual character isn’t a one-off stunt: it’s a brand asset that compounds over time, just like a logo.

On social media

Challenge: It’s hard to stand out. Campaigns start to look the same and lose impact quickly.

Our solution: A virtual influencer that embodies your universe and tone — to tell your story, your offers, and your key moments with lasting consistency.

Collaborations

Challenge: Working with human influencers comes with constraints — image, availability, and sometimes cost.

Our solution: A controlled virtual ambassador: you keep full control over image, messaging, and timing — while still leaving room for human collaborations when relevant.

Save time

Challenge: Not enough time to test new creative formats (and keep up consistently).

Our solution: A virtual avatar designed from the start to scale easily: stories, posts, videos, campaigns, ads, hybrid events with a reusable pipeline that simplifies production.

For public organizations and heritage institutions

You want to capture attention without compromising cultural integrity. A virtual character becomes a mediator: accessible, educational, and well-framed.

Accessibility

Challenge: Making heritage engaging and accessible to diverse audiences (young people, families, tourists).

Our solution: A virtual guide that brings your places and stories to life, with an adaptable tone — serious, educational, or playful, depending on the format and audience.

Engagement

Challenge: Traditional communication tools struggle to drive engagement online.

Our solution: A character that interacts: asks questions, launches mini-series, introduces visits, highlights events, and creates recurring content touchpoints.

Innovation

Challenge: Innovating without risking your image.

Our solution: A structured, co-designed approach: tone of voice guidelines, scripts, validation processes, and editorial governance for creative yet controlled communication.

Benefits

What you gain with a virtual influencer

Full control over your image

You control the appearance, tone, messaging, and schedule. The character becomes a reusable brand asset, built to last.

Clear differentiation

You create a presence that’s instantly recognizable and more memorable than typical formats without falling into gimmicks.

Long-term consistency

The character becomes a thread across your communication: campaigns, launches, key moments, and content. Your messaging gains continuity.

Flexible use across channels

The same ambassador can live on your social media, website, events, and other platforms. More agile production, often without filming, thanks to a reusable pipeline.

Educational impact

A virtual guide makes content easier to understand: explaining, adding context, simplifying, and making it accessible to diverse audiences.

A “wow” effect… with purpose

A visible innovation but always serving concrete goals: brand image, awareness, engagement, acquisition, sales, or mediation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Here are answers to the most common questions.

A digital character (3D/CGI, sometimes supported by AI) that publishes and interacts on social media like a creator: posts, stories, videos, comments… The difference is that its image, voice, and universe are designed and controlled.

A digital model mainly used in fashion/e-commerce: “photoshoots” without constraints (sizes, casting, logistics). It is usually less of a “character” and more of a visual support (looks, poses, products).

  • Virtual model = showcasing a product (visual, pose, fit)
  • Virtual influencer = carrying a story, a personality, a tone, and building a relationship over time (series, recurring content, community)
    Both can coexist depending on your needs.

Yes — and it’s quite common. A virtual influencer can be used as a model for product visuals (looks, e-commerce, campaigns), and a virtual model can evolve into an influencer if given an identity: tone, universe, storytelling, recurring formats, and interactions.

The key is intent: “show the product” (model) vs “tell a story and build a relationship” (influencer). In practice, you can start as a model (fast, concrete), then evolve into an influencer as the brand grows.

It depends on the level of control and the desired style. Creation often combines 3D/CGI with AI tools (textures, variations, acceleration). The editorial direction remains human-led: personality, scripts, validation, consistency.

Yes — if you start simply: one character, 2–3 formats, a realistic rhythm. The value comes from compounding: the more you build, the more efficient the pipeline becomes.

For a structured launch:

  • POC (proof of concept): usually a few weeks (direction + first content)
  • Full character version: longer if you develop a full universe, guidelines, multiple formats, and campaign variations

It mostly depends on your goals and timeline.

The budget depends on the level of realism, number of assets, formats (image/video), usage (social, website, events), and governance (validation, iterations).

We often recommend starting with a scoped POC, then expanding.

Social media (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn depending on your audience), website, newsletters, in-store screens, events (physical/hybrid), and mediation tools (public/heritage contexts).

Availability, consistency, control over image, reusable formats, more agile production (less logistics), and above all: long-term differentiation beyond a single campaign.

No. In most strategies, they complement each other: the virtual character ensures consistency and continuity, while humans bring spontaneity, credibility, collaborations, and event presence.

For transparency, it’s strongly recommended. For commercial content, clearly indicating its nature is essential (e.g., “ad,” “paid partnership,” or equivalent + platform tools).

We help define these guidelines within your brand framework and processes.

It depends on the contract. Typically, we clearly define ownership/transfer of assets (model, textures, guidelines), usage rights (channels, duration, territories), and usage rules (modifications, co-creation, etc.). The goal is clarity and usability for you.

Not necessarily. You can stay lean: one point of contact to validate editorial direction and scripts. The rest (design, production, variations, exports) can be handled by us.
