A brand told through two characters

Brand storytelling for LitVM, Litecoin's zkEVM Layer-2, as AI creative lead at Lunar Digital Assets, a Web3 marketing agency: Lester and Lilly, the world around them, and the films, launch content and daily animation that carried the brand. The GIPHY channel built on them passed 70M+ views.

The challenge

Web3 brands fight for attention in one of the fastest, most skeptical markets on the internet. LitVM needed a brand presence that felt alive daily, on a budget that ruled out a traditional production pipeline.

The approach

The team established recognizable characters, then used references to keep their appearance consistent across short animations. Each piece combined visuals, sound and editing, with publishing planned for GIPHY. AI supported production while people directed and reviewed the work.

The result

  • 70M+ total views on the LitVM GIPHY brand channel
  • 10K to 240K views per video, sustained across months
  • A repeatable creative system, not a one-off stunt
  • Same pipeline applied across LDA clients: KalqiX, QuickSwap, Polygon ecosystem brands

If you need a consistent stream of content

For another brand, the starting point is a recognizable idea and a clear audience. We can plan reusable references, production steps and a publishing schedule around that brief. Results will depend on the work, audience and distribution.

FAQ

The LitVM channel, answered

What did the LitVM work include?
Brand storytelling built on two AI characters, Lester and Lilly: character design kept consistent across every piece, story-led films, launch content, and daily short animation with sound, published to the LitVM GIPHY channel and beyond.
Where does the 70M+ figure come from?
Total views on the LitVM GIPHY brand channel, checked against giphy.com/LitVM. The content was produced while leading AI creative at Lunar Digital Assets, a Web3 marketing agency, and is attributed to that channel rather than to a Monolith client engagement.
What made the channel work?
A recognizable AI character system, Lester and Lilly, run like a production line: character consistency, short-form animation, sound, and a publishing pipeline tuned for GIPHY distribution. Individual videos ran 10K to 240K views, week after week.
Can the same system work outside Web3?
Yes. The ingredients are a recognizable creative asset, an AI-accelerated pipeline behind it, and distribution tuned to where your buyers look. That is what the AI creative production service builds.
