How clipping agencies can manage a roster of clippers
For agencies and team leads who run groups of clippers.
Short answer: A clipping agency is a team that staffs clipping campaigns with its own roster of clippers. On Validus, an agency applies, adds its clippers, and takes on creator and brand campaigns. Every clip is reviewed before it’s paid, no one approves their own clips, and approved clips are paid per 1,000 verified views at each campaign’s rate.
How do agencies work on Validus?

- Add your clippers. Every clipper must be 18 or older.
- Staff campaigns from creators and brands.
- Same rules: every clip is reviewed before it’s paid, and no one approves their own clips.
What standards should an agency set for its roster?
| Standard | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Read every brief before cutting | Off-brief clips are declined |
| Label paid content as paid | Disclosure is required for paid clips |
| Only clip permitted content | Campaign source videos only |
| Track decline reasons | Fix patterns across the roster |
