[Kennan Frost @icon]

Excited to introduce Icon, The First AI Admaker.

We’re backed by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund & execs of frontier AI labs like OpenAI, Pika, & Cognition.

Icon (https://t.co/RKWomrKrAu) is like ChatGPT + CapCut, but for making winning ads with AI in minutes.

How it works:
1. Icon looks at your video library & tags scenes (e.g. "close-up," "unboxing"). These scenes become reusable clips used as lego blocks for making ads.
2. Prompt Icon’s AdGPT to generate scripts focused on specific angles & audiences.
3. Icon finds perfectly matching clips for every script scene & generates an ad that is 80-99% complete.
4. Make edits with our CapCut-like video editor until you're happy.

3-person creative teams make 30 ads per month. With Icon, they make 300.

We co-built Icon with $100M+ revenue brands like Ridge, Jones Road, Immi, Backbone, & MUD\WTR to solve big pain-points:

1. Making lots of ads is extremely painful. Icon helps you automate the tedious parts of scriptwriting, scene matching, video editing, audience research, UGC creation, & more.

2. AI-generated ads look like trash. Icon remixes your existing footage into new ads, matching your production quality & maintaining brand aesthetics.

3. Existing solutions charge $2K-$30K/month for:
🔍 Competitor ad spying & cloning
📈 Creative analytics
📹 Custom & stock avatars for AI UGC
👥 Audience research
📁 Video storage & tagging

Icon does scriptwriting & video editing on top of everything above for just $999/year (their margin is our opportunity 😉).

If you’ve made it this far, we have a surprise for you 👇🏻

⚡️ The Branding Checklist

I've been working on this for some time; I softly launched it during the weekend and received great feedback.

The idea is to keep updating it and make it the best free resource for founders building a brand.
