What is Passo?+
Passo is a performance creator marketplace for regulated brands. We help brands scale YouTube creator partnerships, performance UGC, and Instagram Stories, with automated operations from sourcing and negotiations to content review, reporting, and payments.
What does “performance” mean for YouTube?+
We source creators within specific communities, such as RuneScape or glow-up content. Brand renewal rates, repeat direct-response deals, engagement, and comments help us find creators with influence over their audiences. Your results determine which partnerships you scale.
How are performance UGC creators paid?+
Creators earn a percentage of ad spend. Brands only pay for content that performs and decide which creators to scale in paid social. Passo tracks the ads and handles creator payouts.
How do you protect our brand beyond content review?+
Passo scrapes the open web and Reddit for creator controversies and highlights the findings so your team does not have to do the research manually. Dedicated compliance users can review and sign off on every creator. Content checks cover your brief, claims, and disclosures, while comment tracking surfaces complaints and retains comment history after content goes live.
Is Passo self-serve or managed by your team?+
Both. Start guided by our team or use the self-serve platform. Passo handles sourcing, negotiations, and campaign operations. Your brand approves every creator, rate, and deal. We can also build bespoke tools for your requirements.
Can Passo measure YouTube views that happen on TV?+
Yes. We partner with smart TV data providers to connect YouTube viewing exposure to first-party conversions. This gives brands a view of what happens after someone watches, including conversions from existing customers who may never click a creator link.
Who is Passo built for?+
Growth and creator marketing teams at regulated brands, including finance and health companies, that need to scale without losing control of content and compliance. Robinhood, Kick, hims, Rocket Money, Ethos, and Arya trust Passo to help run their creator programs.
