How this is written

Every number has a source

Rates, fines and performance figures link to where they came from. Where sources disagree, we say so and explain which we trust.

We correct things publicly

We published a UAE fine figure that was too low and fixed it, and we say plainly that widely quoted half-million dirham penalties apply to different offences entirely.

No invented data

Where we do not have marketplace data for a market, we cite published benchmarks and label them as such rather than dressing estimates up as our own numbers.

When you are ready to be hired

Publish your packages free and let brands find you. Payment sits in protected from the moment they book, so a delivered video is never an unpaid invoice.
