Reviews from the web
Content Partner
Shortly after uploading my video, hundreds of people started viewing it, and many companies started reaching out to us. This was never our intention when sharing the video, and we turned down many, but when T&T Creative Media reached out they were very professional, extremely friendly, and very thorough in the detail of how they wanted to share our experience. I felt compelled to allow them to share it, as their values and goals were much like ours….to share that feel-good moment. They’ve been readily available about any questions we had through the process. The payment came through PayPal, just as explained, and was immediately available once it hit. I couldn’t be more thrilled to have worked with T&T, and I am glad I went with my heart and chose them to help manage it.

My wife posted a video of her funny interaction with our son on social media. After it got some attention online, we partnered with T&T Creative Media to market the video to media companies. They managed to get it aired on national television and gave us a keepsake for our son to cherish forever! The whole process of working with T&T was real easy and they guided us through everything step-by-step, taking the stress out of dealing with the media.
I was approached by several different agencies wanting to represent my YouTube video, “Marine Surprising His Little Brother”. After speaking with several of them, T&T Creative Media stood out to me. They had the best reviews I could find. They love to take touching stories and share them with the world. They were willing to work with me, keeping my best interests in mind. They have been very kind and very informative with how the process works and have been great at keeping me up to date on progress. Every time I email with a question I almost always hear back immediately or shortly thereafter. They do such a wonderful job communicating. They have worked so hard getting my story out there to so many news outlets and all types of social media, including a segment on the Today Show, which was a wonderful surprise! We earned revenue going through T&T that I did not expect and would not have earned on just YouTube alone. I highly recommend T&T Creative Media. Thank you for doing such a great job getting my video out to the world which has touched millions and millions of lives!

FAQ
As journalists, storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. We’re motivated by telling compelling, real-life stories through the medium of video. We are also video creators ourselves, so treat you how we’d expect to be treated – with respect, honesty and transparency. Through our unique global reach, we connect with audiences around the world to maximize your clip’s revenue potential. With offices across different timezones it’s easy to get in touch and we pride ourselves in our communication.
We add value in a number of ways to maximize your potential revenue from the video you captured:
PACKAGE: We package your video into a fully produced news feature, complete with photos and a written article by our trained team of journalists. These additional services, not offered by ‘viral video’ companies, add additional value and revenue to your story as outlets don’t have to do additional research.
PROMOTE: We market your video everywhere – from the world’s top media publishers, broadcasters, platforms and brands to niche publications. This not only generates you licensing fees, but helps promote the video and drives further interest. Our advanced content management system allows outlets to find and license the latest content relevant to them at the click of a button.
PARTNERSHIPS: You earn through our revenue partnerships around the world as well as when we license to TV shows, web publishers, social pages and brands.
PUBLISH: If eligible, we post your content to our owned and operated social entertainment channels generating additional revenue for your video.
PROTECT: We protect your video from copyright infringement using industry tools to claim revenue or negotiate compensation fees for unauthorized usage.
There are a number of ways we generate you revenue including:
LICENSING: We pitch and sell your video story to publishers, websites, broadcasters and brands around the world. They will pay a one-time fee for permission to air or publish your clip, either ad hoc or via a subscription.
PUBLISHING: We publish your video to our owned and operated social platforms, where you can earn additional revenue based on performance metrics.
SPONSORED: We work with brands to either partner on the release of certain content or create content specifically for them.
COPYRIGHT PROTECTION: Sometimes pages will re-upload your video. Where possible, we will look to enforce your copyright and claim the revenue or secure compensation fees for the unauthorized usage.
In all cases we need to receive payment from the client before we can pay out your share – for which our standard payment terms are 30 days, but this can be longer for VoD sales / subscriptions or even shorter. Once we have received payment and your accumulated balance reaches $50 you will receive a sales report and a request for your payment details. We issue payment via Zelle, PayPal or check (US only) within 10 business days of your report. If you haven’t been paid, we haven’t been paid – so rest assured we aim to pay out as soon as possible.
Yes, you remain the owner of the content in perpetuity (forever) and can continue to post and share the video across your own social media profiles. Our agreement enables us to act as your agent for the video to license, monetize, promote and protect it around the world. Our agreement is as simplified as possible, but if you have any questions about certain elements please ask our team, who are always happy to explain. We ask that you consult us before replying to any direct requests for your video to ensure you do not unintentionally give away rights to your content and lose potential income.
If someone contacts you about your clip, forward their request to licensing@tt-creative.com and our team will let you know they have received the request and are handling it. If the approach takes place on social media, please attach screenshots of the conversation to the email and list the organization and person’s name who approached you. In many cases, allowing one publisher to use your video also permits their partners to use it, which can quickly spiral around the world – so it is safer to forward straight onto our team or consult with your contact before replying.
Yes, we encourage you to continue sharing your video with your own family, friends and audience. All we ask is for you to update the caption/description in the post to include our licensing disclaimer to help prevent unauthorized usage and to swiftly direct potential buyers to us so we can secure a license agreement.
By exclusively partnering with T&T, it allows us to spend time adding extra value to the package so we can leverage higher fees and more favorable terms for the content partner whose video we are representing. An exclusive partnership also means – where eligible – we post the video to our owned and operated social entertainment brands to generate additional revenue for your clip.
When a video is non-exclusive, the negotiating power transfers to the buyer, who may play sellers off one another to secure lower fees. We will also refrain from posting across our social entertainment brands due to any potential copyright issues in future. Therefore, to maximize revenue, it is best to select a single company to represent the clip.
No, we do not charge you anything for working with us or ‘using our services’ now or in future. We make money via the revenue share on the sales we proactively generate for you. You will be paid the agreed % of any revenue your video earns. This provides us with accountability to you as the content owner, ensuring we are incentivized to invest our effort into maximizing your clip – because if you don’t make money, neither do we.
In many cases, content creators become regular partners with T&T. Whether you shoot one video a year or one video a day, if there is potential to work together longer term we’ll let you know. Simply get in touch with your usual contact or submit your video below and a member of our team will get straight back to you.
Please feel free to get in touch using our live chat or by emailing hello@tt-creative.com and we’ll be happy to help.
