About StoneGFX6 answers
What is StoneGFX?
StoneGFX Studio Limited is an AI-powered advertising and creative production agency based in Nairobi, Kenya. It produces television commercials, digital video ads, viral social content, AI campaign visuals, brand motion and real-estate VFX for brands, property developers and agency partners, with human creative direction on every project.
Both, deliberately. Strategy, concept, art direction, editing and final quality control are done by people; AI models are used for generation, motion, VFX and sound where they speed up production. Every deliverable is human-reviewed before it reaches the client.
Where is StoneGFX based, and who does it work with?
StoneGFX is based in Nairobi, Kenya and works remote-first with clients across Kenya, East Africa and internationally. Briefs, reviews, approvals and delivery all happen online, so location is never a barrier to a project.
Mostly consumer brands and property developers: household and personal-care products, food and snacks, real estate, events and entertainment, plus agencies that white-label StoneGFX production. Recent published work includes campaigns for Topex, Brio, Magnee, Cuddles, OLA and JOOZ.
The studio combines more than ten years of production and advertising experience with four years specialising in AI-powered production. That mix is why campaigns keep traditional standards of direction and finish while using newer tools for speed and range.
How much does a TV commercial cost in Kenya with StoneGFX?
The Signature Campaign TVC starts at KES 650,000 per video. That includes audience and competitor research, campaign strategy, three hook concepts, one 30 to 60 second commercial for TV and social, multiple social dimensions and two social cutdowns, with full ownership after full payment.
How much does a 15 to 30 second digital video ad cost?
A 15 to 30 second digital video commercial (DVC) starts at KES 60,000. The price includes the creative concept, campaign direction, editing, motion graphics and professional sound design, delivered ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and feed placements.
A premium AI advertisement image starts at KES 10,000, a four-image social carousel at KES 25,000, and a motion flyer or AI dance promo video at KES 30,000. Single assets are the lowest-risk way to test the studio before committing to a campaign or a monthly package.
Brand Engine is KES 250,000 per month for 4 premium advertisement videos of 15 to 30 seconds plus 8 premium ad images. Brand Momentum is KES 550,000 for 8 videos, 10 images, 2 carousels and custom brand audio. Market Command is KES 980,000 for 12 videos, 15 images, 4 carousels, 3D animation, a dedicated AI influencer and a brand song. Social Media Management is KES 100,000 per month for publishing, community management and reporting.
An AI music video of up to three minutes is KES 250,000, covering storyboard, visual development, AI scene production, editing and colour grading, with two revision rounds included.
Is AI advertising cheaper than a traditional shoot?
Usually, because AI production removes most shoot logistics: locations, casting, crews, travel and permits. A 15 to 30 second spot that would typically require a shoot day can be produced from KES 60,000, and campaign images from KES 10,000, while keeping professional direction and finish.
All published prices are in Kenyan shillings; USD figures on the site are indicative only. Any applicable VAT or statutory taxes are confirmed on the formal quotation before approval. Media spend, paid talent, locations, travel, permits, voice talent and special licences are excluded unless listed.
Property visualisation is quoted per project from the brief, because scope depends on the number of environments, the film length and the formats required. Developers submit plans or renders and the key project facts, and receive a formal quotation before production begins.
Not when they are art-directed. StoneGFX combines AI generation with human creative direction, professional retouching, motion design and editing, then reviews every frame before delivery. Photoreal product visuals and campaign films are in the selected work at stonegfx.com/work/.
Can an AI-produced commercial be used on television?
Yes. The Signature Campaign TVC is built for television and social distribution: a 30 to 60 second commercial delivered in broadcast-ready widescreen alongside vertical and square social versions, all reviewed by people before release.
Which formats and platforms does StoneGFX deliver for?
Platform-ready cutdowns: 9:16 vertical for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, 1:1 for feed placements, and 16:9 for YouTube and television. The cutdown set for each project is confirmed on the quotation.
Both are possible. Real-person likenesses are used only with client instruction and the required permissions. Fictional AI talent, including an exclusive AI influencer persona owned by the brand after full payment, is developed for brands that want a consistent face without talent contracts.
What is an AI influencer, and can a brand own one?
An AI influencer is a fictional, consistent brand personality generated and directed by the studio for ongoing content. StoneGFX builds exclusive AI influencers from KES 200,000, and the persona belongs to the brand after full payment.
Yes. A custom AI-assisted brand song with vocals and instrumental is KES 50,000, and a custom audio identity is included in the Brand Momentum and Market Command monthly packages.
Real estate VFX turns architectural plans and renders into moving campaign content: renders to video, construction before-and-after, interior and exterior visualisation, masterplan flythroughs and launch films. Off-plan projects can be marketed before construction is complete.
Does StoneGFX also design websites and landing pages?
Yes. Conversion-focused websites and campaign landing pages are one of the studio's six service lines, designed, built and optimised for speed, SEO and mobile so the attention a campaign earns has somewhere premium to land.
Submit a brief at stonegfx.com/quote/ or message the studio on WhatsApp at +254 717 409 925. You receive a formal quotation that confirms scope, timing and price before any work begins; production is scheduled after approval, the booking payment and receipt of brand assets.
Turnaround is confirmed per service on the quotation. Single assets such as a campaign image or a short video move fastest; integrated campaigns and television commercials run on agreed milestones with review points for the client.
Revision rounds are set per service and stated on the quotation. For example, the Trend to Ad video includes one round and the AI music video includes two; additional rounds or major scope changes are quoted separately.
Approved, client-specific deliverables transfer to the client after full payment, subject to any disclosed third-party licences such as fonts, stock or music. Third-party licences are disclosed in the proposal so there are no surprises.
Yes. StoneGFX can review and sign a client NDA before confidential briefs, launch plans or unreleased products are shared. StoneGFX does not authorise external model training on confidential client material without written approval.
Yes. StoneGFX works as a white-label production partner for agencies, with NDA-ready collaboration and human-reviewed delivery. The agency keeps the client relationship; StoneGFX supplies the production capacity behind it.
