Fans Can Now Be Seen and Heard By Favorite Digital Celebrity and Create New Dual Screen Content By Adding Instagram Image and Video Links to Taki Orders

New Taki features allow fans to submit Instagram photo or video for myriad of new personalized video experiences

Following the successful launch of Taki, Rally is now adding new video product features to Taki to enhance interactivity between our roster and fans.

In addition to typed text, fans now have the option of adding a link to an Instagram post; marking the first time a fan can include a static image or video in their request. This new feature itself offers tremendous value for fans who will take great delight in knowing they are being seen and heard from their favorite digital celebrity, opening the door for endless interactivity.

Once completed, fans will receive the Instagram video or image they submitted side by side with the personalized video from their favorite digital celebrity. They’ll then be able to share across their social channels or simply enjoy in private.

Just a few examples include:

DUETS: Fans can ask their favorite digital celebrity to perform a duet. From a song, to a dance or even a wacky improv, the only limit is one’s creativity. Check out Game of Thrones star Miltos Yerolemou re-enact famous scene with Arya or a beatbox faceoff between Tik Tok star Coop and Karmabeatbox.
