01 · The problem

Your audience left. It blocks ads now.

UK 16-to-24-year-olds give live TV 20 minutes a day; YouTube and TikTok get an hour and a half.1 A third of the internet blocks ads outright.2 There is no blocker for a creator talking about your product.

02 · The shift

People believe people. Not banners.

Nielsen asked 30,000 people across 60 countries what they actually trust. A recommendation from a person beat every paid format in the study. A creator who reads your product into their own video is exactly that recommendation, in front of a far bigger room.3

The shift

You can't buy attention anymore. You can only earn it, or borrow it from someone who already has.

03 · The payoff

This is not a soft brand bet. It pays.

04 · The catch

Going in blind is how the budget disappears.

$1.3B
lost by brands to influencer fraud in a single year: fake followers and bought engagement.6
25–30%
of a mid-tier creator's followers can be fake, and mid-tier is what brands reach for first.7

Picking a creator off their follower count is a gamble. It looks fine until the post goes live and nothing sells, because the audience was never real, or never yours.

The point

A sponsorship isn't ad space. It's a loan of someone's credibility. Pick the wrong lender and the loan defaults.

05 · The unlock

We know every sponsor on YouTube.

20,000,000sponsored videos, tagged by sponsor

Close to every sponsored video on YouTube, matched to the brand that paid for it. No one else picks creators with this. "Which creator?" becomes a lookup:

  • Every creator your competitors ever sponsored, and how those videos did.
  • Each creator's real track record of selling, not their follower count.
  • What a placement should cost, benchmarked against the whole market.
  • The gaps no brand in your category has touched yet.
What that buys you

The same budget. Two very different outcomes.

The method

How a campaign runs.

Matched, not guessed

We pick against the database: audience fit and past sponsor performance. One anchor channel for reach, plus smaller engaged channels that punch above their size.

Written in, not read out

Our writers build your message into the video so it sounds like the creator, not a script. You approve before anything goes live.

Measured, then sharpened

Views at 7 and 30 days, click-throughs, code redemptions, comment sentiment. Every result feeds the next placement, so the spend compounds.

Proof

Brands already sponsor through us.

Privacy tools, web hosts, hardware, open-source software. Several of these companies came back for a second campaign.
