Why Founders & Entrepreneurs Are Using Digital Twins

Written By

Most business owners face the same friction:

  • Limited time
  • Inconsistent posting
  • Content that feels repetitive or forgettable

Digital twins solve this by decoupling presence from production.

Once built, your twin can:

  • Appear in multiple videos per month
  • Deliver confident, on-brand messaging
  • Be used for storytelling, thought leadership, humor, or positioning
  • Free you up to run the business

How a Digital Twin Is Created (High Level)

At a high level, the process looks like this:

1. Capture a Clean Visual & Motion Base

  • Short video clips (often under 10 minutes total)
  • Neutral lighting, clean wardrobe
  • Simple movements or gestures

2. Train the Digital Twin

  • Facial structure
  • Body proportions
  • Natural motion patterns
  • Expression range

3. Generate New Video Content

  • Your twin performs actions or scenarios you never filmed
  • On-screen text delivers the message
  • Audio can be voice-matched or stylized

Tools Commonly Used (You Don’t Need to Master These)

Digital twins are often built using advanced AI video and motion tools such as:

  • Higgsfield – realistic motion & performance mapping
  • Kling – cinematic AI video generation
  • VEO – advanced scene and realism modeling

Important:

These tools are powerful—but they’re not designed for busy founders.

Without brand strategy, creative direction, and experience, results can feel uncanny, off-brand, or gimmicky.

Where Digital Twins Perform Best

Digital twins are especially effective for:

  • Brand storytelling
  • Positioning statements
  • Entertaining metaphors (“How I fight for my clients…”)
  • Thought leadership hooks
  • Consistent weekly presence

The best-performing twins combine:

  • Visual intrigue
  • A clear message
  • Brand alignment

Why Most DIY Digital Twins Miss the Mark

4 Common issues we see when founders try this alone:

  • Too much focus on tech, not message
  • No brand filter → random content
  • Over-editing or under-directing
  • Results that don’t feel “like you”

A digital twin isn’t a novelty—it’s a brand asset.

What Makes a Digital Twin Actually Work

The difference between “cool” and effective:

  • Clear brand DNA
  • Defined tone and role (expert, protector, challenger, guide, etc.)
  • Strategic use of entertainment
  • Restraint (not every idea should be used)

That’s where experienced direction matters.
