Meet Uncle SAM: A Powerful New Viral Tool for Online Marketers

June 16th, 2008

Acapela Group and Makebeliever Productions announce the release of their Voice-animated messaging solution Demo, featuring Uncle Sam.

Uncle Sam

Voice-animated messaging offer marketers the ability to quickly and efficiently promote their brands and products online and internet users the opportunity to send friends, family, and colleagues truly personalized and engaging messaging through a beloved American icon, Uncle Sam.

Acapela Group, a worldwide innovative player in vocal solutions and MakeBeliever Productions, a U.S. based multimedia online marketing solutions provider, have partnered to offer marketers Voice-animated messaging, a powerful new solution to create online viral brand awareness.


Based on the huge success of Acapela’s smart talking-characters, which are already used from Greenland to Chile to read aloud in real-time any typed in text, Acapela is now associating its expertise with MakeBeliever’s multimedia and online marketing knowledge to make Uncle Sam speak out loud. This partnership demonstrates how talking user-generated content and animation can benefit from speech synthesis to increase brand and product awareness, through an efficient, engaging, personalized consumer interface that people will remember and talk about.


Voice-animated messaging enables marketers to harness the power of speech synthesis and Flash animation to create memorable and humorous user generated content messaging campaigns from their website of choice featuring their company’s logo, tagline, and other brand or product-related information.  Voice-animated messaging empowers internet users to create greater online awareness of your brand and your products/services. Unlike traditional online advertising that creates a single generic exposure to a marketer’s messaging and is often delivered at a highly inopportune time, Voice-animated messaging enables marketers to leverage the power of their consumers to facilitate multiple impressions for each unit generated and doing so on the customers own terms without the invasiveness of traditional online advertising.  Access the DEMO page to create and experience Voice-animated messaging for yourself.

With the release of Uncle Sam, the two companies are strengthening their relationship started in December 2007 with the realization of an innovative Christmas online messaging application featuring a real actor and speech enabled by Acapela text to speech to deliver, straight from the mouth of Santa Claus, recipient specific information, all without the need for any post-production processing.

As a marketer, you can choose to leverage our suite of existing characters and voices or work with us to efficiently and affordably create custom characters and voices in as little as two weeks. In either scenario, you are able to choose colour schemes, links, and visual content associated with your brand, and provide input on other creative “look and feel” elements. 

Furthermore, the Voice-animated messaging solution delivered by Acapela Group and MakeBeliever Productions is highly affordable and vitually any marketer, large or small, can apply the capability within its established budgeting.  Best of all, the pricing (beyond a low minimum) is performance-based, meaning that the marketer is only responsible for payment as its messages are generated and distributed by consumers. We can even specify a fee cap, ensuring that the marketer does not spend a dollar beyond what is budgeted for a campaign.  The Voice-animated messaging solution represents unprecedented value in online marketing and delivers exceptional results.
