For Brands

Puppet parody for brands with a sense of humor.

I make custom puppet videos that people actually finish watching. If your brand has a sense of humor and wants creative content that stands out, let's talk. I run @hotmessdotgov, an AI-puppet parody account with over 100K followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Now I bring that same distinctive style to brand work. I've been licensing my own stock music to other creators since 2013, and building puppets, plays, and movies since long before AI tools existed.

Three ways to work together

Brand video

From $2,500

A custom puppet video made for your brand, delivered for you to post on your own channels. Includes one year of use on your own social accounts.

Sponsored video

Quoted on request

I make it and post it to @hotmessdotgov, in front of 100K+ followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Priced on reach rather than runtime.

Monthly

Quoted on request

Two brand videos a month on a three-month initial term, then month to month with 30 days' notice. For brands that want a steady presence rather than a one-off.

A note on usage. The base price covers running the video on your own social channels for a year. Paid advertising, broadcast, permanent use, or category exclusivity are quoted on top. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll price it in.

Every project is quoted individually. Once I understand the scope I'll send a written proposal covering deliverables, usage, timeline, fees, and what isn't included, so there are no surprises on either side.

Let's talk

Tell me a bit about what you're planning and I'll come back with questions or a quote. Prefer email? hello@hotmessdotgov.com works just as well.
