Discover how Jarvis steps out from Peller’s shadow and returns to her own brand. Learn about her journey and the new direction she's taking in her career. The Nigerian content creator, now called Jarvis, has made an aggressive move in defining herself, she has abandoned the Peller name and proudly adopted her own brand name. Decades after she was swept up by the tide of the rising popularity of her boyfriend-and-tiktok partner, she has finally secured the space she once dominated the internet to be hers again.
According to an interview with TechCrown, people consider her as a mere side-kick. "That's no longer my narrative. I'm the author of my stories."
She makes this choice at the same time as a new creative surge - a surge that develops overtly in the direction of the AI-futurism with which she previously distinguished herself. She also released the viral video, in March, titled Robot Rumble, which was shot on the National Stadium, Lagos, where a high-speed battle erupts between an all-slick android with artificial intelligence and a threatening enemy. It confused the audience with its state of the art VFX, the most edged-cuting costumes and choreographed fight scenes that are now being compared with a low-budget blockbuster.
She has described her as more than a TikTok star, saying, on a recent panel at a Digital Media Summit in Lagos, that she was a brand. I have created a culture where people value creativity, not the brand name behind it.
The visuals shown in the video were created with the assistance of a local visual-effects studio, Pixel Pulse, which assisted in realizing her idea of an AI mage. "They're my dream team," she said. They knew the sci-fi atmosphere and they provided on the spectacle.
Giving the screen wider dimensions.
Jarvis does not restrict its new direction to Tik Tok. She has already signed a deal with a Lagos tech startup AImpress to do a series of sponsorship videos featuring their AI-assisted analytics tools. "It's a natural fit. I am future-oriented and should I be able to show my readers what tomorrow will bring, that will be a win-win situation.
In the meantime, the creator is working on a podcast called Beyond the Frame which she will use to interview fellow creators, explain the role of AI in media, and explore some of the mental health issues one might experience with celebrity status. "I want to give back," she said. People look at me and think that the life is easy. I have experienced anxiety, depression and self doubt. Here is my stage to address it.
Reclaiming her narrative
The videos made by Jarvis, which were bold, AI-focused, and funny, went viral, and she gained a loyal following on TikTok and YouTube when she first burst onto the scene. However, as her high-profile relationship with Peller flourished, most of her posts started to sound like him and soon her voice was only heard faintly in the background. All that however altered when she uploaded a candid reel on April 2 with the title Who Am I?- a reel that depicted her sketching, filming, editing and literally tearing down a sign that bore the name Peller in her studio.
The video generated a supportive outburst. She was swamped with fans asking her to keep on developing her own persona. This, read a fan, is the best thing you have ever done to your career. "We're all so proud of you."
The future ahead
In the future, Jarvis is even focusing on a multi-platform release that would combine her passion in AI with immersive storytelling. She is already negotiating a short film, which will have her as the lead - a woman who uses artificial intelligence to solve a murder in the underbelly of Lagos. By saying this, she meant that technology can help enhance the human creativity, not to substitute it.
What is certain is that Jarvis returns to her own brand is not merely a rebranding, it is a rebranding plus. She is not just regaining all her former successes but also forging a new, unexplored future to herself and her ever-increasing fan base by throwing off the mantle of Peller.
