Milton Keynes business transformation and cost reduction specialist Allard International AI (AIAI) has won a new contract to supply hyper-realistic AI-generated multilingual news presentations for Export UK, using its newly acquired MirrorMe AI media creation service. Conversations began in late March 2026 – not just on video but also covering advice on strategic redevelopment of their entire digital presence and service by applying Claude’s AI suite. This paid dividends with the company saving six figures in being able to rapidly re-engineer two legacy websites with complex database services (one to attract overseas buyers, and the other to provide a directory of 20,000+ verified British Exporters with over 500,000 types of products) ExportUK – British Exporters Database. The migration took just a matter of weeks instead of at least 4-6 months. Both websites are now fully operational.

To further enhance the presentation of the relaunch of the Export UK buyer’s website, two MirrorMe hyper-realistic pitch AI avatar videos were commissioned with English and Arabic version. You can see the results here: Free Information Service – British Exporters Database

Export UK is Britain’s oldest and most respected export trade directory, helping overseas companies find specific UK Suppliers by offering a free Information Service for all things British. Overseas buyers are invited to send the specification of the product or service they are seeking by email, and the Export UK team will research and telephone all potential suppliers. Full contact details of all companies interested in the enquiry are emailed to the enquirer, usually within 48 hours.

UK companies can enhance their presence using an ultra-affordable annual advertising and PR subscription service with full profiles on the British Exporters website ExportUK -British Exporters Database.

AIAI’s founder JP Allard, commented:

“I was delighted to receive this feedback by email – on our first major success:

“A BIG thanks for planting the seed of Claude – it’s been an astounding 10 days. We’ve built 2 new websites – I’ve now got all the main procurement companies in Middle East and Africa – contact details for literally every British Embassy and Consulates worldwide. In the old days (3 weeks ago) it would have taken me months to do this. I can also now produce my own finished artwork to print standard.

Following an agreement with LBKIS Ltd., 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.
