The AIAI Blog

As the UK becomes swept up in what is becoming the toughest economic climate in generations, Allard International AI is launching a unique service designed to fast-track commercial cost savings at a time when every pound counts.

Logistics firms are being impacted by huge rises in diesel. Inflationary pressure plus Government policies on National Insurance and employment law changes are driving up staff costs at an alarming rate. Energy costs impact every sector, with manufacturing and hospitality particularly exposed. Water bills are rising in some areas by as much as 25%, hitting large users across farming, food processing, and data centres hardest of all.

AIAI will focus on helping fast-track the creation of savings to commercial, public sector, and not-for-profit organisations. Human expertise combined with the best and latest proven AI services — guaranteed to deliver major results across 15 distinct cost categories — from water and waste to HR, software, supplier contracts, and government grants.

The model is straightforward: a free discovery call, a fixed-fee 30-day structured audit producing a detailed action plan, followed by optional managed delivery on a no-win, no-fee basis. Clients keep full control and pay only when savings are delivered.

With decades of corporate experience across technology, media, and commercial operations, JP Allard brings a track record of delivering measurable results — now turbocharged by AI-powered analysis and a network of specialist partners covering every major cost category facing UK businesses today.

Following an agreement with LKB Insolvency Solutions, Allard International AI has acquired two significant brands — TVNF and MirrorMe AI — formerly owned by The Video News Factory Ltd, which ceased trading in March 2026 following the impact of the Iran conflict on its investor and Dubai-based client base.

AIAI will embed and redevelop both brands into media cost reduction programmes, directly linked to digital marketing, to replace many services traditionally provided by marketing agencies. Using the latest AI workflow technology blended with offshore production resources, the model is designed to deliver cost reductions of up to 80% compared to traditional production methods.

The TVNF brand carries significant heritage. Over 15+ years, it served major corporates across both B2B and B2C sectors, including Lindt, Harrods, Miss England, HCL Technologies, Riello UPS, Aginode, GIST, Mastercard, and The Institute of Engineering — a client roster that speaks directly to AIAI's core market of established UK commercial operators.

MirrorMe AI, TVNF's AI media startup, was the UK's first dedicated AI media managed service for corporates, gaining clients across multiple sectors and internationally, and making national press headlines — including a feature appearance on the BBC.

JP Allard commented: "This is not just about building on a great legacy — it's about properly integrating media into a holistic cost reduction strategy." The combination of AI-powered video production, offshore resource management, and AIAI's structured audit methodology creates a genuinely differentiated offer: marketing that costs less, works harder, and is measured against commercial outcomes rather than creative awards.

The HR employee benefits platform sits at the natural intersection of this strategy — MirrorMe AI's training and internal communications capability pairs directly with the platform's onboarding and staff engagement functions, creating a combined offer that addresses both cost and culture in a single engagement.
