03 · How it works

Brief to live in three steps.

▸ Step 01

Brief

Show, format, target geos, watch-time threshold per platform, brand-safety rules locked in writing. Sanctioned-region exclusions confirmed at acceptance.

▸ Step 02

Vetted clipper routing

Clippers matched by geography, niche, and prior qualification rate against similar briefs. Self-tagged geo is not trusted; routing happens at acceptance.

▸ Step 03

Qualify, ledger, settle

Every view passes watch-time, policy, geo, and traffic-validity checks. Filtered traffic logged with reason code. CSV/JSON export to finance and ops.

04 · Deep dive

Why Podcast Brand Clipping Campaigns prices on qualified views.

Podcast clips win on narrative. FORKOFF runs them as managed campaigns with the watch-time gate tuned per platform. The four-stage qualification engine (watch-time, policy, geo, traffic-validity) is the wedge. Most operators in this space hand the brand a dashboard count and treat the qualification denominator as private. FORKOFF ships the denominator into the contract: per-view reason codes, CPQV pricing on the views that cleared the brief, filtered traffic logged but never billed. The audit ledger reconciles against MMP records (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch) for consumer-app clients and against treasury reporting for web3 clients. Outcome-priced means you pay for the qualified denominator, not for impressions an ad-ops cleanup pass would later strip.

Sample sandbox: Podcast Brand Clipping Campaigns qualified at scale.

▸ FORKOFF case archive

An anonymized FORKOFF Podcast Brand Clipping Campaigns sandbox campaign cleared 1.6M qualified views at $0.003 CPQV. The qualification engine logged ~37% of raw playback as filtered (sub-watch-time, geo-mismatch, sanctioned-region, or traffic-validity flagged) and excluded that volume from billing. Brand reconciled per-view ledger against MMP records the same week. Specific brand name redacted under NDA. The case structure is representative of the sandbox tier the strategist locks at brief acceptance.

Who this is for. Who it isn't.

▸ Best fit for
  • Brands buying outcomes, not raw impressions
  • Teams without internal qualification capacity
  • Campaigns that need an audit ledger for finance review
  • Founder-led, narrative, and managed creative formats
▸ Not a fit for
  • Solo clippers editing their own back catalog (use a DIY tool)
  • Brands that want self-serve bounty marketplaces
  • Campaigns optimising purely on raw view counts
  • Below-floor budgets without room for a sandbox campaign

08 · FAQ

Frequently asked

What is a qualified view?

A view that passes four checks set by the campaign brief: watch duration, policy compliance, geo consistency, and traffic validity. If any layer rejects it, the view is logged with a reason code and excluded from both spend and payout.

Do podcast brands need a large existing audience?

No. Routing is by ICP fit, not show size. Smaller niche shows often outperform on CPQV because their content is denser.

What clip lengths work best for podcasts?

30-90s on TikTok and Reels, 30-180s on YouTube Shorts. Long-form clips (3-5 min) work on YouTube long. We tune per platform during brief acceptance.

How does FORKOFF pricing work?

Brands pay $0.003 per qualified view (CPQV). Filtered traffic is logged with a reason code and excluded from spend. A sandbox runs for 14 days, and larger campaigns are scoped per brief at intake.

How fast does a brand campaign go live?

Most campaigns go live within 24-48 hours of brief acceptance. A first sandbox campaign typically clears in 24h; larger campaigns are scoped per brief at intake.

Can I clip episodes I already have or only new ones?

Either. Most podcast brands seed FORKOFF with a back catalog of 8-12 strong episodes; we route the clippers to your highest-performing moments first.

Can I run on my existing creators?

Yes. FORKOFF can run a managed campaign on a brand's existing creator roster, with the qualification engine and ledger layered on top. Useful for brands wanting measurement without rebuilding their network.
