See how character explainer videos can promote your brand in minutes
Why Character Videos Are Marketing Gold
Traditional ads get skipped. Character videos get watched, shared, and remembered. Here's why smart brands are switching to character video marketing.
People Actually Watch Them
Let's be honest. Nobody wants to watch another corporate ad. But a cartoon character talking about your product over satisfying gameplay? That stops the scroll. Character videos get 3-5x more watch time than standard video ads because they feel like entertainment, not marketing.
They Get Shared Like Crazy
When was the last time you shared a brand's ad with your friends? Probably never. But funny character videos? People share those all the time. Every share means free exposure for your brand. Your marketing spreads itself without you spending another dime on ads.
Insanely Cheap to Produce
A single branded video ad can cost you $500 to $5,000 to produce. A character explainer video from AutoClips? About $0.25. That means you can create 20 branded videos for less than the cost of a coffee. Post daily, test different angles, and scale what works without breaking the bank.
Think about it this way: while your competitors are spending thousands on a single video ad that people skip after 3 seconds, you could be posting a fresh, entertaining, branded character video every single day for the cost of pocket change. That's not just smart marketing. That's an unfair advantage.
Character videos turn your brand into shareable, viral content across every platform
How Smart Brands Use Character Videos
Whether you're selling products, services, or building authority, character video marketing works for your business type. Here's how different brands are using it right now.
E-Commerce
Showcase products in entertaining videos that drive clicks and sales. Character videos outperform traditional product ads because they feel like entertainment, not advertising.
Example:
Peter Griffin raving about your skincare line while Minecraft parkour plays in the background
SaaS & Software
Explain complex features in simple, fun ways. Turn boring software demos into shareable content that actually gets people excited about your product.
Example:
Stewie breaking down your project management tool's best features
Coaches & Consultants
Build authority and trust by sharing valuable tips through beloved characters. Position yourself as the go-to expert in your field with content people actually watch.
Example:
A character sharing your top 5 business growth tips with your branding throughout
Local Businesses
Drive local awareness with entertaining content that gets shared in your community. Stand out from every other local business posting stock photos.
Example:
A character telling people about the best pizza place in town (yours)
Agencies
Create branded content for multiple clients at scale. Deliver more value at lower cost with AI-powered video production that takes minutes, not weeks.
Example:
Managing 10 client brands with automated daily video posting for each
Affiliate Marketers
Review and promote products with character-driven content that converts. Build trust through entertaining reviews that don't feel like sales pitches.
Example:
A character doing a hilarious product comparison that drives affiliate sales
How Brand Integration Works
From zero to daily branded content in 4 simple steps. No video editing skills required. No marketing team needed. Just you, your brand, and the AI.
Create Your Brand Profile
Head to AutoClips and create a new Brand Profile. Give it a name, write a short description of your business, and tell the AI what you sell. This takes about 2 minutes. You're basically telling the AI who you are so it can talk about your brand naturally in every video it makes.
Your Brand Profile includes:
Upload Media & Link Your Website
Upload your logo, brand images, and product videos. Then paste your website URL. The AI crawls your site and analyzes everything to build a deep understanding of your brand. It creates a "Knowledge Document" that it uses to write scripts that actually sound like they know your business inside and out.

Set your brand goal to "sales" or "awareness" so the AI knows how aggressively to promote. Choose your call-to-action style. Set your posting schedule and pick which platforms you want to post to.
You control:
- Brand goal: Sales mode or Awareness mode
- CTA style: "Visit [your site]" or "Comment [word] to get [reward]"
- Posting schedule: Daily, twice daily, or custom
- Platforms: TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook
AI Creates & Posts Branded Videos Daily
This is where the magic happens. The AI writes a fresh script every day using your brand knowledge. It naturally mentions your product, weaves in your brand images at relevant moments, and includes your CTA. Then it renders the video with your chosen character voice over satisfying backgrounds and posts it directly to all your connected platforms. You wake up to new branded content already live.
The AI handles everything:
Upload your brand once. The AI creates branded content forever.

The Secret Sauce: Smart Mix Technology
Your branded character videos don't feel like ads. That's by design. Here's how the AI makes your brand appear naturally in every video without being pushy or annoying.
Natural Brand Mentions
The AI doesn't just slap your brand name at the end of a video. It reads your Knowledge Document and finds natural moments in the script to bring up your brand. If you sell running shoes and the character is talking about fitness tips, the AI might have the character say "Speaking of getting in shape, you gotta check out these shoes from [your brand]. They're insane." It flows. It doesn't feel forced.
Brand Image Placement
Your product images and logo aren't just watermarks. The AI shows your brand images at the exact moment the character mentions your product. So when Peter Griffin says "This thing is a game changer," your product image pops up on screen. It's like a natural product placement you'd see in a movie, except it happens automatically in every single video.
Goal-Based Script Strategy
Set your goal to "sales" and the AI writes scripts with stronger CTAs and more direct product mentions. Set it to "awareness" and the scripts focus on building brand recognition and trust with softer, more educational content. The AI adapts its entire approach based on what you're trying to achieve. Most businesses start with awareness and shift to sales once they've built an audience.
