Creators Audience & content

With Brands, We Make the Deal for Creators.

The gap

Two sides. Same
problem.

A 25K-subscriber real estate channel is worth thousands per video to the right brand. Most of them are charging a few hundred — or nothing at all — because nobody told them otherwise.

Creators say

"I had no idea I could charge that."

Micro creators in high-value niches are the most underpriced people on YouTube. You built an audience of buyers, investors and decision-makers — and you're quoting lifestyle-channel rates because nobody showed you the real numbers.

Brands say

"We paid for reach and got nothing back."

A big general channel gives you views from people who will never buy. A smaller channel in your exact vertical gives you an audience already in the market. Brands keep buying the first one because it's easier to find.

Brand Deal Media is the part in the middle.

We hold both rosters, we know what a channel is genuinely worth in its vertical, and we only introduce a pair when the numbers work. Then we write the contract, run the campaign and move the money. Nobody sends a cold email.

How it works

Four steps.
About a week.

Same process from either side — we just work it from the opposite end.

01 / Reach out

Email us who you are

Creators send their channel and niche. Brands send the product, the goal and the budget range. One email — we read every one by hand.

Reviewed, not booked
02 / Price

We value the channel

We calculate the real rate from average views, niche CPM and engagement — not subscriber count. Most creators find out they've been underselling.

1–2 days
03 / Match

We find the overlap

You see the fit data before anyone commits. If the audience doesn't genuinely match the product, we don't make the introduction.

3–5 days
04 / Close

We run the whole deal

Contracts, scope, revisions, usage rights, invoicing and payout. Creator and brand never have to negotiate with each other directly.

Through to delivery
Who we work with

We're specialists,
not a directory.

We only represent creators in verticals where brand budgets are real. That focus is the whole reason our deals are bigger than a general agency's.

Our verticals

Real estate & property $25–$50 CPM
Finance & investing $25–$60 CPM
Business & entrepreneurship $22–$50 CPM
Tech & B2B software $18–$40 CPM
Legal & professional services $20–$45 CPM
Education & career $15–$35 CPM

CPM ranges are 2026 market benchmarks for YouTube sponsorship deals in each vertical. Your actual rate depends on average views, engagement and audience geography — we calculate it properly before quoting anyone.

Not our lane

  • Gaming & esports
  • General lifestyle & vlogs
  • Entertainment & reaction
  • Pranks & challenge channels
  • Beauty & fashion
  • Food & cooking

Nothing wrong with these channels — the brand budgets in them are just a fraction of what our verticals pay, and we'd be doing creators a disservice pretending otherwise. Plenty of good general agencies cover this space.

The roster

Small channels.
Serious audiences.

Every creator we represent sits between 10K and 100K subscribers in one of our six verticals. Illustrative of the range — full roster and audience data available to brand partners.

In one of our six verticals? We onboard new creators from 10K subscribers up. Channel quality and audience beat follower count every time.

Campaign packages

YouTube first.
Bundles when it fits.

YouTube carries the highest rates and the longest shelf life, so it anchors every campaign we build. If a creator has real reach elsewhere, we bundle it in.

Entry

YouTube integration

A 60–120 second dedicated segment inside a creator's regular video. The workhorse format — lower cost than a full video, sits in front of an audience that's already watching.

Typical $1,000 – $4,000Per placement, varies by channel and niche
Most requested

Full pack

A dedicated YouTube video plus Shorts, an Instagram post and Stories from the same creator — one brief, one contract, one invoice. Best cost per impression of anything we sell.

Typical $3,000 – $12,000Bundled across platforms, single creator
Authority

Dedicated video

An entire video built around your product, service or brokerage. Highest intent, highest conversion, and it keeps earning views for years after it goes live.

Typical $2,000 – $9,000Per video, varies by channel and niche
Long term

Ambassador program

A 6 to 12 month deal with one or two creators who mention you consistently. Best return of anything on this page — audiences trust repetition far more than a one-off.

Typical $15,000 – $60,000Per creator, full term
Ad creative

UGC for paid media

Creators shoot content you own and run as YouTube or Meta ads. Nothing posts to their channel — you're buying the asset and the credibility, not the audience.

Typical $800 – $3,500Per creative set, usage rights included
Local

Realtor & local pro

Built for brokerages, agents, lenders and local firms. We place you with property and finance creators whose audience sits in the Denver and Los Angeles metros, not scattered nationally.

Typical $1,500 – $6,000Per campaign, Denver & LA metro matching
Contracts & payment

Nobody negotiates
with anybody.

Creators don't talk terms with brands. Brands don't chase creators for deliverables. Every agreement and every dollar runs through Brand Deal Media, which is the entire point of having an agency.

1

Brand signs with Brand Deal Media

One campaign agreement covering deliverables, timeline, revisions, usage rights and total cost including our fee.

2

Brand pays Brand Deal Media upfront

Funds clear before anything is produced or scheduled. No creator starts work on an unfunded campaign.

3

Creator gets a deal brief

Exactly what to make, when it's due, how many revisions, and what they're being paid. No back-and-forth with the brand.

4

We manage delivery

Drafts, feedback and approvals route through us, so creative notes arrive once and clearly instead of in six scattered emails.

5

Creator gets paid in 14 days

From approval, not from posting, and not on the brand's accounting schedule. It's written into every contract we issue.

Representation agreement

Brand Deal Media ↔ creator

Signed once when you join. Sets our 25% scope, confirms you're non-exclusive and free to keep your own deals, and locks in your 14-day payment terms.

Campaign agreement

Brand Deal Media ↔ brand

Per campaign. Deliverables, deadlines, revision limits, usage and whitelisting rights, approval process, and what happens if scope changes mid-flight.

Deal brief

Brand Deal Media ↔ creator

Per campaign. A one-page work order — what to make, when, how many revisions, and the exact fee. Plain language, no legalese to decode.

Payment flow

Held by Brand Deal Media

Brand funds sit with us until deliverables are approved, then go straight to the creator. Creator and brand never exchange money or invoices directly.

The model

25% flat. Stated
on every invoice.

No retainers, no listing fees, no tier you have to pay for to see the good deals. Our fee sits on the brand side of the table and it's written on the contract in plain numbers.

Creators
$0

Free to join. You keep your rate.

You never pay Brand Deal Media anything, and we never shave your fee. We quote your rate to the brand and add our 25% on top of it.

  • Free channel review, onboarding and valuation
  • We push your rate up, not down
  • Every contract reviewed before you sign it
  • Paid within 14 days of deliverable approval
  • Non-exclusive — keep any deal you find yourself
Brands
25%

Management fee on campaign spend.

A flat 25% on top of creator fees, shown as a separate line on your invoice. Everything below is included — we don't bill strategy, sourcing or reporting separately.

  • Creator sourcing, vetting and audience verification
  • Rate benchmarking against real niche CPM data
  • Contracting, usage rights and scope management
  • Campaign management from brief through delivery
  • Replacement creator at no extra fee if one drops out
$4,000 Brand pays total
$3,200 Creator receives, in full
+
$800 Brand Deal Media management fee
That's the whole model. It appears exactly like this on the invoice — no markup buried in the creator's rate.
Questions

Straight answers.

Because that's where the budgets are. Real estate, finance and business content carries roughly three to five times the sponsorship CPM of gaming or lifestyle. Representing a creator in a low-CPM vertical means working just as hard for a fraction of the deal size — worse for us and worse for them. Specialising is what makes our average deal bigger than a general agency's.
We start at around 10,000 and generally cap at 100,000. Above that, creators usually have direct brand relationships and don't need us. Below it, deal sizes rarely justify the work on either side. Within that range, average views and audience quality matter far more than raw subscriber count — a 15K channel with 25K average views is a stronger sell than a 60K channel with 4K views.
No. Your rate is your rate. If your video is priced at $3,200, we quote the brand $4,000 — your $3,200 plus our $800 fee as a separate line item. You receive the full $3,200. The brand sees exactly what they're paying for, and nothing is hidden inside your number.
No. Keep working with brands you find yourself, stay with other agencies, leave whenever you want. The only condition is that deals we introduce run through Brand Deal Media for a defined period — that protects the contract terms and payment guarantees we put in place, and it's spelled out clearly in the representation agreement before you sign.
Not unless you want to. Every agreement runs Brand Deal Media to creator and Brand Deal Media to brand — never creator to brand. You get a one-page deal brief telling you exactly what to make, by when, with how many revisions and for how much. Feedback and approvals route through us so you get one clear set of notes instead of six conflicting emails.
$1,000. Below that there isn't enough room to place a creator properly in our verticals, and the admin around contracting and payment costs more than the campaign is worth to either side. Most of our campaigns land between $2,000 and $15,000.
It's one of the best fits we have. Property and finance creators attract exactly the audience agents want — people actively researching a move, a mortgage or an investment. We match on geography as well as niche, so a Denver brokerage goes in front of creators whose viewers are actually in Colorado rather than scattered nationally.
Within 14 days of the brand approving deliverables — not from posting date, and not on the brand's payment schedule. Brand funds sit with us before production starts, so payment never depends on chasing an invoice. If a brand won't agree to those terms, we don't run the campaign.
