Two short written pieces a month
Articles or product copy to an agreed brief, in one language. Factual claims come with a source list; anything you assert about your own business is marked for your approval.
Content, voice and video — reviewed by a person, cleared for use.
Written pieces, narration and short video, produced to a brief we agree in writing and reviewed before delivery. Synthetic voices by default — a real person's voice or face only with their written consent. Third-party assets only when the licence is confirmed in your quote.

GOOD FIRST PROJECTS
Good first media projects
Small, well-defined pieces of work. Each one is scoped on the call before anything is produced.
A 30-60s narrated clip
Edited from material you already own, with a synthetic voice-over. One language, one revision round.
A synthetic voice-over
Narration for material you already have. Background music and sound effects are licensed separately if you need them.
A presenter-style clip
A short piece to your script with a synthetic presenter. If you want a real person's voice or face, that starts with a rights review.
THE DIFFERENCE
How we keep it clean
1 · Reviewed
A person reviews every deliverable against the written brief before it's delivered. Publication stays under your control.
2 · Consent-first
Synthetic voices by default. A recognisable voice or likeness needs signed consent, for an agreed purpose and duration — we keep it in the project file. Their material is kept only for the project and deleted on request.
3 · Rights-cleared
We only use third-party assets when the licence is confirmed in your quote. No dropping in a track or a stock shot and hoping.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Who this is for
Small teams that need to publish steadily, without a production crew or an agency retainer.
A steady trickle of content
You need to publish regularly, but not at agency volume — and not filler.
A voice for material you already have
Documents, slides or scripts that would work better as audio.
Short video without a crew
You own the material; you need it edited into something watchable.
More than one language
The same piece in EN, FR or RU, written rather than machine-translated.

PRODUCTION EXAMPLE
What a media pipeline looks like before anything is published
The useful part is not that AI can make content quickly. The useful part is a controlled editorial process: the brief is agreed, the calendar is visible, sources and rights are checked, and a person reviews the result before delivery.
EDITORIAL BRIEF
The instruction sheet
- Goal
- Explain one service clearly, not chase reach.
- Audience
- A business owner deciding whether to book a call.
- Tone
- Plain, useful, no hype or fake urgency.
- Assets
- Client-owned notes, screenshots and approved product language.
PRODUCTION CALENDAR
A small monthly cadence
- W1Brief locked, source material checked, rights questions sent back if anything is unclear.
- W2Draft copy, narration script or rough cut produced for review.
- W3Client comments folded in, final QA and delivery package prepared.
PIPELINE
What happens before delivery
- Source and claim check
- Draft, voice or cut produced to the written brief
- Human review against tone, facts and rights
- Delivery with notes on synthetic media, assets and required disclosures
Quality and rights checks
- Factual claims have sources
- Synthetic media is marked on delivery
- Recognisable people require written consent
- Third-party assets are listed with licence notes
Example workflow, not a fake client claim. In a real project, the brief, calendar, rights notes and disclosure wording are written around your material and where you plan to publish it.
PRICE & ACCEPTANCE TEST

content from 490€/mo · video from 490€ · talking-head from 1 490€
Founding-client rates — reduced while we build the public portfolio. Limited slots.
Content from 490€/mo
starter editorial plan: one or two short pieces a month, one language, one review round.
Video from 490€
a 30-60s clip edited from material you own, with synthetic narration. Music and stock aren't included.
Talking-head from 1 490€
a short clip with a synthetic presenter, from your script. A real person's voice or face is quoted after a rights review — that work isn't priced up front.
The acceptance test
We agree the brief in writing before production starts. If a deliverable materially fails that brief and we can't correct it within the agreed revision rounds, we don't invoice that deliverable. Changes to the brief itself are quoted separately.
FAQ
Common questions, honest answers
Are the models you use licensed for commercial work?
That's checked before production, not after. We confirm in the quote that what we use is cleared for your kind of deliverable and your kind of use. If something isn't cleared for your case, we don't use it — we propose an alternative or we decline the work.
Can you use my voice, or someone else's?
Only with that person's signed consent, for a purpose and a duration agreed in advance — and we keep the consent in the project file. Without it, we use a synthetic voice. This applies to your own voice too.
Do I have to say it's AI-made?
Where content is synthetic and could pass for a real recording, EU rules from 2 August 2026 require it to be disclosed. We mark synthetic audio and video on delivery — metadata where the format supports it, plus a visible notice where we agree one — and we'll tell you what we think applies to your case. You decide where it's published, and keeping the disclosure intact is your responsibility.
Who owns the result?
After payment you get the commercial usage rights to the final deliverables, within the scope we agree. Third-party assets, tool terms and the material you supply stay governed by their own licences — the quote says which is which.
Is music included?
No. Music, stock footage and other third-party assets are licensed separately, and we only use them when the licence is confirmed in your quote.
Will this rank on Google?
We don't promise rankings, reach or engagement — nobody honestly can. What we can say is that we don't ship bulk-generated filler: pieces are written to a brief, sourced and read by a person before delivery.
What this is not
- Not deepfakes — we don't produce a real person's voice or face without their signed consent.
- Not a production house — no crew, no shoot, no actors.
- Not a promise of reach, ranking or engagement.
- Not a music or stock licensing service.
- Not legal advice — we tell you what we require before we start; your own legal review stays yours.

Synthetic media may need to be disclosed when published. You stay responsible for where deliverables are published and for the rights to material you supply.
