In 2023, Torrey Benane and I observed a shift in the creative industry, characterized by clients demanding faster content and an increase in cookie-cutter digital content online. We embarked on developing an AI-enabled app designed to produce superior scripts and realistic AI voiceovers.

THE CHALLENGE

At the time, there were limited tools available to achieve our goal and convincing traditional marketing departments to trust AI-Generated content would be difficult. On top of that, marketers already had difficulty maintaining their brand voice across all of their content (social media, blogs, video), so we needed to account for that.

The Approach

Developed brand identity and design systems for print, web, and video.

Created an AI-driven application.

Developed visual assets for social media, investor presentations, and user interfaces.

Facilitated discussions with potential customers and investors.

Participated in pitching competitions to showcase Epicly's features and value.

The Results

Epicly was accepted into the Founder University Pre-Accelerator and, despite not securing investment, ranked in the top 10% of a cohort of over 225 startups.
