Start with a pilot rather than a contract
Before any retainer or long commitment, run one campaign end to end with a fixed scope and fixed price agreed on the call. One recording, one campaign, one report, and at the end you know what it cost, what it delivered and whether the pipeline moved before you decide anything further.
What a pilot includes
- One source asset, roughly 20 minutes or more, cut into short vertical clips of 12 to 35 seconds.
- Native posting by the creator network across LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and X, from real accounts.
- Verified-view reporting, with failed and bot views stripped and reason-coded so they never reach your invoice.
- A clip-to-pipeline read, using a "how did you hear about us" field on your forms plus tagged clip cohorts.
- Billing on verified views only, at a custom CPM per 1,000, with no retainer, nothing charged per clip and no minimum term.
Why a pilot, and not a retainer
A retainer asks you to pay for time before you've seen the model work, but a pilot flips that around. You scope a budget on the call, we run the campaign, and you only pay for the views that verify, so you carry no lock-in and no open-ended commitment, and you see real reach on real accounts before you decide whether to scale.
What you need to start
One recording you already have and about five minutes of your time is all it takes. A podcast, a webinar, a product demo or a founder interview all work, and if you have no podcast at all we can clip the product itself. Clips go live 24 to 72 hours from the strategy call.
Scope your pilot
The pilot price and length are set to your niche and volume on a short call. Book a strategy call and we will scope it with you, or email rhys@clippingagency.ai.
