Digital personas receive life through TWIN Group debut
TWIN, an independent digital character creation collective, was launched in August 2025 by Christopher Jaques and Theo Facey, both former executives at DNEG. The collective specializes in the development and creation of high-end, production-ready digital characters for various platforms [1][3][4].
The collective operates through three main branches:
- TWIN Creative: This branch is responsible for creating bespoke digital characters with full ownership and control over their identity, tailored for deployment across different platforms.
- TWIN Technology: This division develops and licenses an off-the-shelf digital character pipeline featuring a software-agnostic system, enabling users to produce and manage characters seamlessly across multiple platforms.
- TWIN Consulting: This branch provides creative and technical consultancy to support users throughout all production stages.
The team at TWIN consists of European visual artists, engineers, and creative leaders with decades of industry experience responsible for some of the most iconic digital characters in the industry [1][3][4]. Since its launch, TWIN has been engaged in multiple projects, with the first deliverables expected later the same year [1].
The collective’s foundation marks a pivotal moment where the boundary between real and virtual identities is dissolving, with a team uniquely positioned to influence the future of digital character creation by combining craftsmanship, innovative technology, and creative integrity [1][4].
While specific project titles were not detailed in the available sources, the emphasis is on delivering cutting-edge digital character experiences through both bespoke creation and platform-agnostic technology pipelines, supported by consultancy services that cover the entire production workflow [1]. This integrated approach consolidates TWIN’s reputation as a leading player in the digital character space, leveraging the founders' and team's former work on some of the industry's most iconic characters at DNEG.
No mention was found of distinct named projects or external collaborations as of 2025, but ongoing projects are underway with anticipated deliveries within the year following their launch [1].
- The TWIN Technology division is actively developing and licensing an artificial-intelligence-driven digital character pipeline, offering users a platform-agnostic system for seamless character production.
- Twin Creative, one of TWIN's branches, is concentrating on the creation of artificial-intelligence-infused digital characters, pushing the boundaries of real and virtual identities through innovative technology and creative integrity.
