The B2B video marketing agency that sells you reach rather than footage
A production company makes the asset while a video marketing agency handles the distribution. We take video you already own, cut it into short vertical clips, and have 62,900+ clippers post them from their own accounts, and you only pay for verified views.

The half nobody prices
You're not short of video, you're short of anyone watching it
Every agency on this search sells you the same thing: more video, faster and cheaper and better looking. But the published numbers say the problem has moved somewhere else entirely.

The money goes into making it and almost none of it goes into making anyone watch it, which makes this a distribution problem rather than a content one. It's also the one thing nobody in this market will quote you a price for.
The distinction the category blurs
Production makes the video, distribution gets it watched
A B2B video marketing agency is responsible for whether a video reaches the people who buy your software, while a production company is responsible for whether the video exists and looks good. Most of this market sells the second one and calls it the first.
We do distribution only. You bring video you already own, from roughly 20 minutes of source material upward, we cut it into short vertical clips of 12 to 35 seconds, and a network of 62,900+ clippers posts them from their own accounts to their own audiences.
The posts are organic, on real accounts, and they stay live after the campaign ends, so none of it is paid advertising. It isn't an editing tool either, since a tool hands you files while this hands you an audience.
What this isn't
- A crew, a studio or a shoot
- A folder of clips delivered to your drive
- Media buying with a rate card you argue over
- A monthly retainer for a content calendar
What it is
- A network that carries video you already have
- Clips posted on accounts that already have an audience
- Organic posts you only pay for once the views are verified
- A campaign scoped once, priced per verified view
If you have no source recording at all, the answer is clipping the product itself, not a camera crew.
Three ways to be seen
Three ways to get watched, and only one of them keeps working
"Most B2B video budgets go entirely into production and nothing into distribution, which is why so many expensive films sit on a YouTube channel with 340 views."

They're right, and they rank on this exact search. But their own answer is a landing page hero, four ad variants, a sales email and a trade show loop, and every one of those is an audience the brand already owns or is renting. They never actually say how to get past 340.
02
Rented
Paid promotion, ads and account-based targeting, where you buy attention by the day and it lasts exactly that long.
- Sold by
- Vidico, OTReniX, Bold Content, KEO
- The ceiling
- Your budget. Reach ends when the invoice does.
03
Borrowed
Someone else's audience carries it, because real creators post the clip on their own accounts to people who have never heard of you, and it stays live after the campaign ends.
- Sold by
- Nobody on page one of this search
- The ceiling
- The size of the network, not the size of you.
Two agencies here run creator networks and neither of them actually borrows an audience. Vidsy and Quickframe use creators as production labour, so the creators make the ad while the brand still buys the media, which is owned and rented wearing a different coat.
Owned reach is capped by who already follows you and rented reach ends when the invoice does, which leaves borrowed reach as the only one of the three that isn't limited by something you don't have.
Work out your own number
Your follower count is the ceiling
Publishing more doesn't lift it. Average views per video on a business page fell 36% year on year across every page size band while posting frequency doubled from roughly two videos a month to four, so you get more video and fewer views on each one.

Per month

Estimated from published band averages. 1,000 to 5,000 followers averages 155 views per video. 10,000 to 50,000 averages 585. Anything between the two is interpolated.
Publish four a month or forty, the ceiling only moves when the audience does, and the audience is the one thing production can't buy you.
The same sum, written out
Take 4,000 followers and four videos a month
The published band average for that follower count is 155 views per video, and the arithmetic from there is short.
- Published band average, 1,000 to 5,000 followers 155 views per video
- Four videos published each month 620 views per month
- Twelve months of publishing at that rate 7,440 views per year
- The ceiling, until the follower count changes 7,440
Source: Socialinsider, LinkedIn Benchmarks, averages by page size band
Moving up into the 10,000 to 50,000 band lifts the average to 585 views per video, so roughly ten times the followers gets you under four times the views. That's the shape of the problem, and publishing harder doesn't solve it any more than spending more on the film does.

A production agency sells you a file and wishes you luck while a tool sells you a faster way to make files, and neither one is ever measured on whether a buyer actually saw the thing.

A brand film at $40,000 buys you eight to sixteen weeks and a finished file without buying you a single view. That isn't a criticism of the work, since the films are genuinely good, it's just a description of who carries the risk, and on every line of that table it's you.
How Lumina prices instead
No retainer
No price per clip
No minimum term
A custom CPM per 1,000 verified views, set against your niche and volume, with campaigns running from $5,000 to $200,000+ and scoped on a call before anything starts. Views that fail verification aren't billed.
How it runs
Four steps, and only one of them is yours
One recording goes in, clips come out, and you approve everything before any of it gets posted.
01
Send one recording
Roughly 20 minutes is plenty, and it can be something you already own.
02
We cut it, you approve
Every clip comes back to you before anything goes out.
03
62,900+ clippers post
From their own accounts, in whatever format each platform rewards.
04
You pay for verified views
Views that were actually checked rather than impressions that were served.
About five minutes of your time Clips live in 24 to 72 hours
That is the summary. If you want the full version, how a campaign runs end to end covers the approvals, the reporting and what happens in week two.
Straight answers
The questions buyers actually ask
A B2B video marketing agency is responsible for whether a video reaches the people who buy your software, which covers cutting long-form source material into short vertical clips, distributing them and reporting on what was actually seen. Production, meaning the filming and editing of a new asset, is a separate discipline.
A video production company is measured on whether the video exists and looks good, while a video marketing agency is measured on whether anyone actually watched it. Most of this market sells production and uses the two terms interchangeably, but we do distribution only, on video a company already owns.
Published rates across the category run from $3,000 for a simple explainer to $150,000 for a brand film, with retainers of $5,000 to $20,000 a month. We price differently, on a custom CPM per 1,000 verified views, with campaigns running from $5,000 to $200,000+ and no retainer at all.
Because reach is capped by the audience the brand already has. The median organic B2B SaaS video on YouTube gets 218 views, and 91.4% of long-form views on those channels came from paid promotion rather than discovery. Making a better video doesn't increase the number of people who already follow you.
There's no single number, but the published benchmarks give you a floor. The median organic B2B SaaS video on YouTube gets 218 views, and on business pages average views per video fell 36% year on year while posting frequency doubled. Anything above the follower ceiling has to come from someone else's audience.
No. One recording over roughly 20 minutes that you already own is enough to begin, and it takes about five minutes of your time. If there's no recording at all, the product itself can be the source through screen recordings, feature releases and workflow demonstrations.
