Symphony Digital Avatars: a new way to scale your storytelling

To help creators and brands captivate global audiences and deliver impactful messages in an immersive and authentic way, we are excited to introduce Symphony Digital Avatars. Digital Avatars help breathe life into branded content with generative AI avatars of real people, which will enable new ways to scale creative strategies on TikTok.


We offer two different types of avatars to help brands and creates scale their content globally: Stock Avatars, available in the Symphony Creative Studio workflow, and Custom Avatars.


Custom Avatars are crafted to represent a creator or a brand spokesperson with multi-language abilities, giving creators and marketers the control and power to scale their likeness and brand. For creators, they can leverage their own likeness and construct multi-lingual avatars to expand their global reach and brand collaborations. For brands, not only can they build their own Custom Avatars with their brand IP, spokesperson or a partnered creator, they can now easily work with creators from around the world to help localize their global campaigns.


Vietnamese airline Vietjet is one of the first brands to test Custom Avatars. They created a Custom Avatar of their brand ambassador for a multilingual campaign aimed at connecting with both English-speaking and non-English-speaking audiences, making their messages more inclusive and impactful, and further expanding their global reach.


Besides brands, we are currently testing Custom Avatars with our community of creators. Stay tuned for more!
