Since21 Creative / AI brand characters

AI brand characters for photo, video and ads

Give your brand one consistent face without the casting, scheduling and usage-rights headaches. We design a character for your business, then use it across photo, video, ads, packaging and print.

The idea

One character. Every channel.

Real talent is great, but it can be costly to book, hard to schedule and limited by usage terms. A brand character built for your business removes those limits: the same recognisable face in your photos, videos, ads, packaging and print, whenever you need new content.

Where it works

01 / 04

Photo and lookbooks

Campaign and product imagery with a consistent face, ready for your website, catalogues and social feeds.

02 / 04

Video and social

Short films, reels and explainers featuring the same character, without booking a shoot each time.

03 / 04

Ads and campaigns

Visuals for digital ads, outdoor and promotions that stay recognisable from one campaign to the next.

04 / 04

Packaging and print

Characters on packs, menus, brochures and printed materials, designed to fit your brand guidelines.

Our approach

From idea to a character you can use every day.

We agree the character, the rules for using it and the deliverables before production starts.

01

Discover

Understand your audience, your brand personality and where the character will appear.

02

Design

Create the character’s look, personality and style guide so every image stays consistent.

03

Produce

Generate and finish the photos, videos and layouts you need, checked for quality and brand fit.

04

Maintain

Keep the character consistent as you add new campaigns, channels and formats.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace real people entirely?

Not always. AI characters suit work where you need volume, consistency and speed. For testimonials and personal endorsements, real people are still the honest choice, and we will tell you when that applies.

Who owns the character?

Ownership and usage rights are agreed in writing before production begins.

Will our ads say they use AI?

We recommend clear disclosure and follow the labelling rules of the platforms where your ads run.

Can a character look like a real person?

No. We do not base characters on real people without their written consent.

What can an AI brand character be used for?

It can appear in photos, videos, ads, packaging and printed materials. The same character is used across all of them, so your audience sees one recognisable face wherever your brand shows up.

Why use an AI character instead of hiring talent?

It removes casting, scheduling and usage-rights limits, and lets you create new content any time without booking a shoot. It works best for campaigns that need volume and consistency. For personal endorsements, real people are still the right choice.

Will the character look the same in every image?

Consistency is the point. We build a style guide that defines the character’s look and personality, then check each image against it so the character stays recognisable across campaigns.

Can the character appear in video as well as photos?

Yes. The character can appear in short videos, reels and explainers as well as still images, so one character can support your whole content calendar.

Is it acceptable to use AI-generated people in advertising?

Generally yes, provided the advertising is not misleading. We recommend clear disclosure, never present an AI character as a real customer giving a testimonial, and follow each platform’s rules. For regulated products such as health or finance, take your own legal advice.

How much does an AI brand character cost, and what do you need from us?

Cost depends on how many images, videos and formats you need. We quote in writing after seeing your brand guidelines, audience and the style you have in mind. Contact us on WhatsApp at 017-666 2368 to start the conversation.
