Adency / Creators & brands

A marketplace for creators and brands.

After running a YouTube news channel with 2.2 lakh subscribers, I understood how difficult it can be to earn from content. Adency helps creators present verified YouTube and Instagram performance, while brands can find relevant creators and place campaign orders.

How it began

After the 2019 general elections, I started a digital news YouTube channel called Mythri Media. It grew to about 2.2 lakh subscribers, but the money we earned from YouTube was very low. The venture made losses, and I eventually sold it. That experience stayed with me. I wanted to build a platform where people who are good at creating content could find brand opportunities and earn beyond platform revenue.

The problem

A creator can build a substantial audience and still struggle to earn enough from platform revenue alone. At the same time, brands need a way to find relevant creators and assess their actual performance before deciding whom to work with.

What it does

Creators onboard by verifying their YouTube channels and Instagram accounts. Adency draws performance data through official platform APIs to build public creator profiles and present them in its marketplace. Brands can search, evaluate, select creators, and place an order through the platform.

Why I’m building it

The mission is to give good content creators another way to earn from their work, while making it easier for brands to discover creators through evidence about their audience and performance.
