A self-serve tool vs a done-for-you studio
Self-serve avatar tools are powerful, but the work is not the rendering, it is everything around it. Here is the honest comparison.

| Setup | You build and manage your own avatar. | We build and manage your avatar and content plan. |
| Scripts | You write them. | We write them for your industry, in your voice, for your review. |

Is a done-for-you agency just a self-serve tool with a markup?
No. The tool is the easy part. The work is the strategy, scripting for your industry, direction and editing, plus keeping it consistent every week. That is what we do so you do not have to.

Yes. Tell us what you have on your call and we will pick up from there.
