Is that email really from you? +
Unfortunately, phishing is always a possibility, especially in the creator space. However, we will never ask for a fee, banking details, login details, or account access in an email. If you're unsure about a message you've received, reach out and forward it to contact@mainonemedia.com.
Are you a real company? +
Yes. MainOne Media is a Utah LLC, founded in 2022 and based in Park City. Our team has worked in the industry since 2016. You'll find us on LinkedIn, and every creator and brand on this page is real. (Not to be confused with MainOne, the telecom company based in Nigeria.)
Who does MainOne represent? +
We represent mid-size and macro-size creators who need help staying on top of brand deals while they focus on making content, but don't want to be just another number on a larger agency's roster. Most of our roster is YouTube-first or Instagram-first, across automotive, DIY, lifestyle, outdoors, family, and travel. And while we have great relationships with a lot of brands, we only represent creators.
What does it cost? +
Nothing upfront. No monthly fee, no retainer, no setup fee. We earn a percentage of brand deals, inside the standard range for creator management, and we'll give you the exact number on the first call. Unless otherwise arranged directly with you, we don't take a cut of AdSense, memberships, or merch.
Do you take a cut of deals I bring in myself? +
Yes. While we represent you, every brand deal runs through us. That's how we make sure every contract gets reviewed and every rate gets pushed. We manage both outbound and inbound opportunities so you can focus on growing as a creator.
Are you exclusive, and can I leave? +
Yes, we're an exclusive agency. But we only want to represent creators when it makes sense for both the creator and MainOne, so we don't hold you hostage if you really want to leave. We walk through the exact terms together on the first call.
How big does my channel need to be? +
There isn't a one-size-fits-all number here. A lot of our creators have over 100k subscribers or followers, but average views typically matter more than the subscriber or follower count. If you're not sure, apply.
Do you work with creators outside the U.S.? +
We're U.S. based, and our creators and most of our brand partners are as well. If your audience is mostly in the U.S., we can probably help. If not, we're likely not a good fit for you.
What happens after I apply? +
Every application gets read by a real person on our team. If it looks like a fit, we'll reach out to set up a call. The call is casual: no pitch deck, no pressure. You learn about us, we learn about your channel, and we both decide if it makes sense.
