ANIRAD, your voice.
Multiplied.

AI infrastructure for the creator economy in MENA. 91% of local SMBs can't afford premium influencer marketing, a single post from a 500K-follower creator costs $1,000–5,000. ANIRAD turns a creator's identity into a 24/7 working asset: voice cloning + lip-sync video, brands get fresh ad creative in 5 minutes + approval window, creators get 75% of revenue on every placement.

// Problem

91% of MENA SMBs can't afford premium influencer marketing, yet 83% name content creators their favorite ad channel. The gap is the opportunity.

Three barriers: price (a single post from a 500K creator runs $1,000–5,000), speed (briefs take 2–3 weeks; businesses need 48 hours), scale (one creator shoots 4–8 ads a month, not 40).

// Thesis

A creator's identity is an asset. ANIRAD is the infrastructure that lets that asset work 24/7. We turn the creator economy from a one-to-one service into one-to-many infrastructure.

// Why now

Three trends converged for the first time: AI generation hit parity (voice cloning + lip-sync cleared the uncanny valley in 2025), the MENA creator economy is growing 30% YoY (the UAE added 280K monetizing creators in 2025), and $4.2B+ of GCC SMB ad spend is migrating to creators faster than supply can absorb the demand.

Product

From identity to infrastructure
in four steps.

  1. 01 / Creator joins

    One-hour studio session in Dubai or remote upload

    We capture the creator's voice and face. After that, no personal time is required, the identity works inside the infrastructure.

  2. 02 / AI clones identity

    ElevenLabs Pro voice + HeyGen Enterprise video

    Best-in-class voice and video, fused into a single workflow. A vertical AI stack, not «another OpenAI wrapper», but infrastructure with exclusive supply.

  3. 03 / Brand creates campaign

    Brief + creator selection + script, generated in minutes

    The SMB picks a creator and a script; ANIRAD generates the ad in minutes of machine time. Then the creator's approval window opens.

  4. 04 / Creator approves, ad goes live

    Veto rights protect the creator's brand · 75% of revenue goes to the creator

    Every placement passes creator approval. Trust by design: brand safety is written into the contract. Median time from brief to live ad, under 5 minutes of machine time + the creator's approval window.
