Buying creator media, or running a UGC program

Agentio treats creators as a paid media channel. A brand bids for ad units, such as an integration in a YouTube video, Shorts, Reels or a Meta Partnership Ad, with each creator priced at a standardized CPM, and measures them like any other media buy.

Scouty runs UGC creator programs for brands. Our team recruits and vets the creators, briefs them, reviews every video, measures what each one brings in and scales what works.

Automation, or a team that does the work

Agentio says the brand sets the strategy and approves the content, and the platform automates matching, pricing, contracts, payment and measurement. That suits a marketing team that wants to run many partnerships with few people.

Scouty is a team of creator marketing operators, with our own technology making the team faster. There is nothing to log in to and run yourself.

How each one is paid for

Agentio publishes no price list. Each creator carries a CPM, and its terms add a Platform Fee of 20% of the budget for each ad or license, with the brand funding its own paid media. Scouty publishes no price list either: a program is scoped on a call, you pay Scouty for the service, and the team pays the creators on your behalf, with each creator's agreement made with you.

When Agentio is the better choice

  • You want sponsored integrations in YouTube videos, not only short-form UGC.
  • You want to buy creators like a paid media channel, with each one priced at a standardized CPM.
  • You run Meta Partnership Ads at scale and want creators matched using your ad account's data.
  • You want measurement such as post-purchase surveys and MMM-ready reads per creator.

When Scouty is the better choice

  • You want UGC creators recruited and managed for you, not ad units to bid on.
  • You want a team to brief every creator and review every video before it ships.
  • You want a program scoped on a call rather than a bid for each ad unit.
  • You want results measured on conversions, CAC and ROAS.

What Scouty does not do

A fair comparison says this plainly.

  • Scouty sells no software: there is nothing to log in to and run yourself. The team does the work.
  • Scouty does not sell single videos by the piece. It builds and runs creator programs.
  • Scouty publishes no price list. A program is scoped on a call, so there is no Scouty figure to set beside a vendor's here.
