The Audience Was Here.
Brand Diversity Was Limited.
YouTube’s audiences are deeply engaged — but brand deals 
have been complex, opaque, and hard to access directly.
Bottlenecked Deal Flow
YouTube’s audiences are deeply engaged — but the path to partnerships was often opaque and hard to manage at scale.

”It’s not just the typical brand names you often see across YouTube, such as VPNs or Meal Kits.”
Jamie Kreinces, Manager

“Landing a brand like DoorDash is massive, it changes how your audience sees you and where your career can go.”
Cole Hock, Co-Founder

Friction Everywhere
Often the deal process can get dragged out: scattered emails, vague briefs, delayed feedback, and endless revisions. It drained time — and momentum. Agentio replaces chaos with clarity.

"Having all the guidelines, assets and necessary information in one concise dashboard, especially when working with multiple brands, drastically simplifies the ad drafting process"
Mista GG, Creator

“We don’t have to deal with broken telephone anymore. The back-and-forth is cleaner, and we actually understand what the brand wants.”
Cole Hock, Co-Founder
