Anonymized from real engagements. Your results will vary by vendor and timing.
The Network
An agency has a team. We have a city.
A typical agency puts five to ten people on your account and takes six weeks to hire more. We put five hundred creators, fifty editors and twenty local media buyers on your launch in a week, then stand them down the moment the sprint ends. You pay for output, not for a bench.
- First 50 creators sourced in 10 days
- 500–650 short-form assets in a 4-week sprint
- Community coverage in 22 languages, follow-the-sun
- OOH scouts on the ground in 12 cities
Stealth Buying
Vendors price the logo. We don't bring one.
Publishers, creators and billboard owners quote on who they think is paying. A funded startup with a known name gets the "VC quote." Our buyers are independent gig operators — small, unbranded, unremarkable — so every rate is negotiated as a freelancer would pay it. You see the vendor's invoice, our margin and your saving, line by line.

Featured case study
Series B AI app builder — 1M views, 620 creators, 30 days
They needed to out-shout four better-funded competitors in a single quarter. We activated 620 creators in nine days, shipped 580 short-form assets, bought newsletter and podcast slots at 29% under their existing quotes, and ran digital OOH in four cities with per-site QR tracking. Result: 1.4M cumulative views, 4.6% average engagement rate, 38% lift in branded search in OOH markets.

An end-of-sprint playbook and lift report you keep.
“We had quotes from three agencies. Zerobase delivered twice the volume for less than the cheapest one, and I never had to explain why our Series A shouldn't cost us more per creator.”
“Six hundred videos in a month sounded like a typo. It wasn't.”
“The quote audit alone paid for the first sprint.”
Quote audit
Show us what you're paying. We'll show you what it should cost.
Send three quotes you've received from vendors, creators or agencies. In 48 hours you'll have a re-quote from the network and a growth plan to go with it.
