Vetting
Every professional passes a portfolio review, a paid test task and a reference check before taking a client brief. Roughly one in six applicants make it in.
The Network
4,200+ vetted creators, editors, media buyers, writers, moderators, OOH scouts and translators across 38 countries. Activated by the hundred, in days, and stood down the moment the work is done.

Why a network beats a team
Week 1 with an agency: kickoff, resourcing conversations, a two-person pod, a request to "align on timelines."
Week 1 with Zerobase: 50-creator roster finalized, pilot batch shot, first video live by day seven, uploads ramping to five a day.
A staffed agency has to keep its people busy, so it sells you what it has. A network activates exactly what your plan needs — 20 buyers in four cities, 300 creators in Hinglish, a 50-person comment squad for launch week — and nothing else. You pay for output. There is no bench on your invoice.
How the network works
Every professional passes a portfolio review, a paid test task and a reference check before taking a client brief. Roughly one in six applicants make it in.
Every gig ends with a two-way rating. Professionals below 4.5/5 over a rolling ten gigs are paused. Top-rated operators get first call on new briefs.
Each gig is covered by a confidentiality agreement and a present assignment of IP, so everything created for you is yours on payment.
A dedicated producer reviews every asset before it reaches you. Two revision rounds are included on everything.
Creators and seeders operate under your tone-of-voice document and a brand-risk escalation path: anything sensitive is flagged to a human lead within two hours.
