Meet The CAST at Marfa StUDIOS
brands do not need another influencer agency. they need controllable, scalable digital talent that performs on demand.
This is a proprietary roster of AI-generated influencers developed entirely in-house by Marfa Studios. Marfa Studios is my AI-driven boutique agency, created and operated solely by me, Giovanni Gallucci. All character development, intellectual property, creative direction, distribution strategy, and long-term management of these personas runs directly through my consultancy.
every personality, visual identity, voice model, backstory, and content lane was created by me. i control the ip, the creative direction, the distribution strategy, and the long-term development of each digital persona. these characters do not exist anywhere else online, are not licensed from third parties, and are exclusive to this roster.
each influencer has a defined voice, lifestyle elements, visual system, and narrative arc designed to function as a scalable brand spokesperson across social platforms. they integrate directly into your content ecosystem, appearing on their own managed accounts and within your brand channels with a consistent look, tone, and positioning.
if a brand wants to collaborate with one of these ai influencers, the only path is through my agency. i manage their output, partnerships, content calendar, and commercial alignment. all strategy, production, and activation runs through me.
these are transparently ai-powered digital creators built for commercial use. that transparency is intentional. brand safety matters, and clarity matters. we do not present these personas as real human beings. they are clearly identified as ai-generated avatars, and that disclosure protects both the brands involved and the long-term credibility of this model.
storytelling has always relied on constructed characters. when an actor plays a role in a film or television series, audiences can get emotionally invested in the character while fully understanding that a human performer is behind the role. advertising has used actors, mascots, and fictional spokespeople for decades. digital avatars are an extension of that same storytelling tradition. the method is new. the function is not.
these influencers operate as digital actors within brand narratives. they exist to communicate positioning, reinforce identity, and create consistency across content ecosystems. avatars and fully invented characters have been part of media for years. this simply applies that logic to modern social platforms with generative ai as the production engine.
think of this as casting digital talent. you select the personality that aligns with your brand positioning, audience, and aesthetic. we handle scripting, visual production, publishing, and performance optimization. every activation runs with production-level discipline and clear creative direction.
these roster personalities are non-exclusive. they collaborate with multiple aligned brands and appear across multiple accounts. if you require an exclusive ai influencer built solely for your company, that is a separate engagement. what you see here is a working portfolio of scalable digital brand voices available for partnership.
this model gives brands something traditional influencer marketing cannot guarantee: consistency, creative control, speed of execution, and a long-term spokesperson presence that does not depend on contracts, mood, or availability.

he began as a freelance photojournalist in houston, documenting working-water communities with a bias toward truth over drama. those years behind the lens and on deck gave him an instinct for authenticity. if a knot is tied wrong, it shows. if a story is exaggerated, people know. that discipline became central to the character’s voice.

mindy - outdoor lifestyle, fishing, boating, and hands-on outdoor recreation
mindy carpenter is written as a water-driven character inside The Cast, a digitally created avatar whose identity revolves around movement, tide shifts, and time spent doing rather than talking. her world is built around fishing lines, dock edges, early launches, and the quiet competence that comes from hands-on repetition.
the storyline begins in buffalo, new york, where she worked in marketing and design before stepping fully into freelance content creation. cold water, working marinas, and small outdoor businesses shaped the tone of the character early on. polish never led. proof did. she learned that brands earn trust when products are shown in use, not arranged for effect.
