Platform or agency?
A platform gives you access to creators and the tools to brief, approve and pay them. You still decide what to make and where it runs.
An agency makes those decisions with you and runs the work. It costs more per month and less of your team's time.
Most brands start on a platform to learn what works, then move the proven formats to an agency to scale.
