Real people. Real consent.
Real content.
HyperKnown, based in Sydney, licenses the likeness of real, identity-verified people for AI-generated and AI-localised advertising and content. Our talent marketplace is open to brands and agencies worldwide. Commercial uses require the applicable project approval or separate programme opt-in. No stock avatars. No anonymous faces.
Kodcharos, Bruno, Ella and Tisa are verified HyperKnown creators.
How it works. Simple for everyone.
For companies
Browse verified people
Every person on HyperKnown verifies their identity with Stripe Identity, and HyperKnown reviews each profile before companies can see it. Browse by style or category to find the right face for your campaign.
Submit your brief
Tell us the campaign, markets, channels and usage period. Your brief is checked against the person's recorded content restrictions before it reaches them. You pay nothing unless the talent accept.
The person reviews and approves
The person sees your full brief and decides whether to accept. This is per-brief consent, not a blanket agreement. If they decline, the request stops there.
Receive your licensed assets
Once the person accepts, you receive 4K headshots, the signed consent record, provenance records and HyperKnown portal access. Your own production team or agency makes the work. HyperKnown handles licensing only.
For people
Sign up and verify
Create your profile, sign the licensing agreement, record a short permission video, then verify a government-issued photo ID with Stripe Identity. HyperKnown reviews your profile before companies can cast you.
Go live
Once approved, your profile is visible to companies worldwide. You set your content restrictions. You control what you will and won't do.
Review briefs on your terms
When a company wants to license your likeness, you review the brief and decide. Accept or decline. A separate programme opt-in approves its disclosed category of uses without individual project approval. Existing commitments continue after withdrawal.
Earn passively
When a company pays, your agreed talent fee is allocated to your talent earnings. No invoicing. No chasing.
Not another avatar platform.
Stock avatar platforms use synthetic faces under blanket terms. Most prohibit paid advertising. HyperKnown licenses real, verified humans with per-project consent and ad-ready rights.

For companies. Content that's ready to run.
Every licence is a flat, all-in fee per person for a defined usage, with a one-, two- or three-month term chosen up front, worldwide.
Professional
Boutique
HyperKnown handles licensing only. Your own production team or agency makes the work. Restricted-category use is licensed at least at the Professional rate, must be declared before casting and needs the talent's express consent.
Your face earns while you sleep.
Once your profile is live on HyperKnown, companies can offer you paid projects. You review the brief, your fee and the terms before accepting. The company's own production team or agency creates the content using AI and your verified likeness. You don't shoot, edit or show up on set. Your agreed fee is paid in full, and the company pays our commission on top.
Your fee, paid in full.
You receive 100% of your agreed fee. Our commission is paid by the company, on top of your fee.
Per-project consent.
Accept or decline project briefs. A separate programme opt-in approves its disclosed uses without individual project approval.
Restrictions recorded.
Record your content restrictions. Every brief is checked against them, and you see the full brief before you decide.
Blue Tick verification.
You verify your identity with Stripe Identity and HyperKnown reviews your profile. Companies never see your identity documents.
Clear project economics.
Every project shows your talent fee, payment conditions and payout timing before you approve it. Our commission is paid by the company.
Earnings depend on how often companies choose your profile. Licensing frequency is not guaranteed.
