Everything about how clipping works, what it costs, and what we run, in one place. Open a topic to read its questions.
A clipping agency turns long-form content (songs, streams, podcasts, trailers, product demos) into short-form clips and distributes them across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts through a network of creators. Spade Clipping is a content clipping agency with 60,000+ creators that engineers viral moments for brands, music labels, apps, and creators.
You pay per thousand guaranteed views. CPM means cost per mille, the cost of a thousand delivered views. There are no upfront retainers and no hidden fees: you only pay for the impressions we deliver, so every dollar maps to real reach. Clips rejected by our moderators do not count toward delivery, so you are not billed for them either.
Clipping is priced on CPM, the cost per thousand delivered views, so the total is set by the view target you want rather than by a monthly retainer. Across the industry clipping runs at roughly $1 to $5 per thousand views, against $15 to $40 CPM for paid social in the same feeds. Campaigns scale from focused launches to full-scale visibility pushes; launch a campaign to get a quote tailored to your goals and target platforms.
Primarily TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, the short-form platforms where clips go viral fastest, plus fan pages and creator accounts within our network for maximum distribution.
Fast. Because we activate an existing 60,000+ creator network rather than recruiting one, a campaign goes live within 2 to 24 hours of an approved brief and starts generating views the same day. The client dashboard updates every 4 hours, so you can watch delivery build clip by clip.
Our moderation team goes through every clip in your campaign once every day. Clips that miss the brief, break your guidelines, or show botted or boosted views are rejected: they come down, and they do not count toward your delivered views, so you never pay for them. Campaigns are monitored the whole time they run, and you can approve or reject content yourself as it posts.
Music labels and artists, brands and apps (including AI and iGaming), film and TV, and individual talent or streamers. Anyone who wants to convert content they already have into large-scale short-form reach.
Clipping puts your brand or app in front of millions through native, creator-made short-form content instead of ads people skip. Spade Clipping runs performance-driven UGC campaigns (logo and watermark placements, branded clips, and full-scale visibility) that drive installs and awareness on a CPM basis.
A UGC (user-generated content) clipping campaign uses real creators to produce and post short videos featuring your product, so the promotion looks and feels native to the platform. It's built for scale: many creators, many clips, guaranteed impressions.
Yes. We run campaigns across app categories, from AI apps to iGaming and consumer brands, tailoring the creator mix and messaging to your vertical and compliance needs. Every clip is checked against your compliance requirements on the daily moderation sweep and rejected if it falls outside them.
A logo/watermark campaign places your brand mark consistently across thousands of creator clips, so your identity rides along with every view. Recognition builds at the scale of the whole campaign rather than a single post.
Influencer marketing pays a few large creators for individual posts. Clipping activates a large network of creators for coordinated, high-volume short-form output priced on guaranteed views, which makes it far more scalable and far more accountable on performance.
A streamer clipping service turns your streams and long videos into a steady stream of viral short-form clips and posts them across platforms. Spade Clipping manages the entire pipeline (clipping, editing, and multi-platform distribution) so you can focus on creating.
Our team identifies your most engaging moments, edits them into platform-native Shorts, Reels, and TikToks optimized for retention, and distributes them daily to grow your audience across channels.
TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels, plus dedicated creator fan pages: a multi-platform distribution strategy that maximizes reach and audience retention.
Yes. It's your content. We clip, optimize, and distribute it on your behalf, and you retain ownership while we handle the production and posting pipeline.
We operate on a daily short-form cadence, with volume scaled to your goals. Consistent daily output is what compounds audience growth over time.
A podcast clipping agency turns each episode into short vertical clips and distributes them across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts through a network of creator and fan pages. Spade Clipping runs per-episode clipping, builds dedicated podcast fan pages, and offers sponsor-funded campaigns where a sponsor's logo appears across every clip.
Volume is set by the guaranteed-view target rather than a fixed clip count, because reach is what you are buying. In practice a single episode produces dozens of distinct clips, each posted across multiple accounts in our network so one episode gets many independent chances to travel.
Podcast clipping runs on a CPM model: you pay per thousand guaranteed views, typically $1–$5 depending on geographic targeting, versus $15–$40 CPM for paid social. There is no editing retainer and no monthly minimum for the production itself; you are buying delivered views.
Yes. In a sponsor-funded campaign we pitch sponsors on your behalf and place their logo or call-to-action across every clip in the campaign. The sponsor funds the distribution, the show gets the audience growth, and the sponsor gets far more impressions than a mid-roll read would deliver.
Yes. It is your content throughout. We clip, optimize, and distribute it on your behalf, and you retain full ownership of the episodes and the clips cut from them.
A crypto clipping agency distributes short-form video about a token, exchange, or web3 product through a network of crypto and finance creator pages rather than through paid ads. Spade Clipping runs these campaigns across 6,000+ crypto and finance pages on a CPM basis. A moderation team reviews every clip in the campaign every day and rejects anything that misses the brief or shows botted views.
Most major ad platforms restrict or ban crypto advertising outright, and where it is permitted the CPM runs $15–$40. Clipping is organic distribution rather than ad inventory, so the category restrictions do not apply and the cost per thousand views typically lands between $1 and $5.
Spade Clipping has delivered campaigns for Galaxy Digital, BlockDAG, the Bitcoin Conference, and Forward Industries, among others across the crypto, trading, and finance categories.
Our moderation team goes through every clip in your campaign once every day, checking it against your brand guidelines and any disclosure requirements. Clips that miss the brief, break the guidelines, or show botted or boosted views are rejected: they come down, and they do not count toward your delivered views, so you never pay for them. You can approve or reject content yourself while the campaign runs.
Yes. Creators are organized into three geographic tiers, so a campaign can concentrate on Tier 1 markets like the US, UK, and Singapore, or lean into high-growth Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets where CPMs are lower and scale is larger.
An app clipping agency drives installs by having a network of creators produce and post short-form videos featuring an app, instead of buying paid user-acquisition ads. Spade Clipping runs these campaigns on a CPM basis across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, with a moderation team that reviews every post in the campaign every day and rejects anything that misses the brief or shows botted views.
Clipping drives installs the way organic virality does: through volume and native placement rather than a direct-response ad unit. A launch campaign for the AI app Higgsfield produced 28.3 million views from 1,750 clips in four days. Most app teams run clipping for top-of-funnel volume alongside paid UA for bottom-funnel conversion, rather than replacing one with the other.
Paid UA buys ad inventory at roughly $15–$40 per thousand impressions. Clipping buys organic distribution through creators at roughly $1–$5 per thousand delivered views, because you are paying for content placement rather than auction-priced ad slots.
Yes. AI apps are one of the strongest fits for clipping, because the output is inherently demonstrable in a short clip. Spade Clipping ran the launch campaign for Higgsfield AI, delivering 28.3 million views and 2 million likes across 1,750 clips in four days.
Typically 2 to 24 hours from approved brief to the first posts going up, because the creator network already exists and does not have to be recruited for your campaign.
A streamer clipping agency takes a creator's Twitch, Kick, or YouTube output and turns it into a steady flow of short-form clips distributed across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Spade Clipping connects directly to the stream feed, distributes through 10,000+ streaming-niche pages, and can build dedicated fan pages for the creator.
Twitch, Kick, and YouTube are the primary sources. Clips are distributed out to TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, plus dedicated fan pages built around the creator.
Spade Clipping's creator and streaming work includes campaigns with Kai Cenat, Plaqueboymax, and Coding Jesus, among others across the streaming and creator categories.
Yes. Open clip farms pay a prize pool to anyone who posts, with no vetting and no review, so whatever goes up under your name stays up. Spade Clipping uses a vetted network, and our moderation team goes through every clip in your campaign once every day: anything that misses the brief or shows botted or boosted views is rejected, taken down, and left out of your delivered views. You can approve or reject content yourself while the campaign runs.
Yes. It is your content. We clip, optimize, and distribute it on your behalf, and you retain full ownership of your streams, videos, and the clips cut from them.
A music clipping agency gets a song used by large numbers of creators in a short window so platform algorithms surface it to new listeners. Spade Clipping runs sound flooding, concert clipping, edit campaigns, and interview clipping across 16,000+ music pages, priced per thousand guaranteed views.
Sound flooding, also called algorithmic sound promotion, is the coordinated use of one track across many creator videos inside a short window. The surge in usage signals to TikTok and Instagram that the sound is trending, and their algorithms push it to audiences who have never heard it. It is the mechanic behind most viral song moments.
You seed the sound to a large network of creators who build native, trend-driven videos around it, concentrated in a tight window so the usage curve is steep. Platform algorithms treat rising sound adoption as a trend signal and surface it further, turning coordinated creator activity into organic momentum.
Spade Clipping has delivered over 1,000 campaigns and 10B+ views across the music industry, working with over 100 labels including RCA, Republic, Island, Interscope, Atlantic Records, Capitol Records, Warner Records, Epic Records, 10K Projects, Darkroom, Encore, and 88rising, and with artists across hip-hop, pop, and electronic.
The number scales to the guaranteed-view target you set rather than being fixed in advance, since reach is what you are buying. Music coverage runs to 16,000+ pages, and more reach simply means more creators activated.
A movie clipping agency distributes trailers, character edits, cast interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage across short-form platforms through fan pages and creator accounts. Spade Clipping runs these campaigns across 12,000+ entertainment pages, priced per thousand guaranteed views.
Yes. Trailers, character arcs, serialized clip drops, cast interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage are all distributed through fan pages and creator accounts, the same viral distribution engine applied to film and television rather than music.
Most release campaigns benefit from starting at the trailer drop and running through opening weekend, because short-form attention decays fast and a single burst leaves most of the window empty. Campaigns can go live within 2 to 24 hours of an approved brief, so late additions are possible.
Studios supply approved source footage and campaign guidelines, and our moderation team reviews every clip in the campaign against those guidelines every day. Anything outside the brief is rejected: it comes down and it does not count toward your delivered views. You can approve or reject content yourself while the campaign is running.
Campaigns run on a CPM model at roughly $1–$5 per thousand delivered views, compared with $15–$40 CPM for paid social. You set the guaranteed-view target and pay for the views actually delivered.
An iGaming clipping agency distributes short-form video for casino, betting, and gaming brands through a network of creator pages rather than through paid ads, which most major platforms restrict for the category. Spade Clipping runs these campaigns with daily human moderation of every clip and with geographic targeting.
Most major ad platforms restrict or ban gambling advertising, and where it is permitted it carries premium CPMs and tight creative rules. Clipping is organic creator distribution rather than purchased ad inventory, so it reaches audiences the ad platforms will not sell you, at roughly $1–$5 per thousand delivered views.
Yes. Creators are organized into three geographic tiers and campaigns can be confined to specific markets, so distribution stays inside the jurisdictions where you hold a licence.
Our moderation team reviews every clip in your campaign once every day against your compliance requirements, including any required disclosures, age gating, and responsible-gambling messaging. Anything that falls outside them is rejected: the clip comes down and it does not count toward your delivered views, so you do not pay for it.
A mass-awareness logo campaign for Spartans Casino delivered 255 million views, 9.1 million likes, and 55,000 comments in three days.
A sports clipping agency turns game highlights, athlete moments, and rivalry narratives into short-form clips distributed across sports creator and fan pages. Spade Clipping distributes across 9,000+ sports pages with same-day turnaround, priced per thousand guaranteed views.
Same day. Sports content decays faster than any other category, so campaigns are built for same-day turnaround: a moment is cut and distributed while it is still the conversation rather than the next morning.
Yes. Athlete promotion is a distinct service: individual edits and narrative content built for fan communities, commonly used for sponsorship visibility and personal brand growth alongside team coverage.
Campaigns run on a CPM model at roughly $1–$5 per thousand delivered views, compared with $15–$40 CPM for paid social. You set the guaranteed-view target and pay only for views delivered.
Rights holders supply approved source footage and campaign guidelines, and our moderation team reviews every clip in the campaign against those guidelines every day. Anything off-brief is rejected, taken down, and excluded from your delivered views.
Meme page marketing places brand content across established meme and entertainment accounts as native posts rather than as ads. Spade Clipping runs these campaigns across 14,000+ meme pages on a CPM basis, with every post in the campaign reviewed against brand guidelines every day and rejected if it breaks them.
It is when the posts are moderated. The risk in meme marketing comes from handing a brand to pages that post whatever they like. Spade Clipping's moderation team reviews every clip in your campaign every day against your guidelines, and anything that breaks them is rejected: the post comes down and it does not count toward the views you pay for.
A new-feature promotion for Wayfair run as a meme campaign delivered 4 million views, 26,000 likes, and 1,500 comments in seven days.
Campaigns run on a CPM model at roughly $1–$5 per thousand delivered views, compared with $15–$40 CPM for paid social. You set the guaranteed-view target and pay only for the views delivered.
Buying directly means negotiating one page at a time, paying a flat fee before you know whether the post performs, and accepting whatever that page publishes. A managed campaign coordinates thousands of pages at once, prices on delivered views rather than flat fees, and reviews every post daily so anything off-brief is rejected and never billed.
