The $1M-for-1M-views list: how AI startups pay creator marketing firms
aigleeson · x · 2026-11-05
Doctor Yev compiled a price list of creator marketing services that AI/tech companies pay for reach on X: individual deals range from $10k to $200k, with Doomers (@damianplayer) at $200k and shownmedia, atomikgrowth and others at $100k+, totaling roughly $1M for 1M views.
Most are video production and creator-matching services plus virality campaigns for tech & AI products. The thread argues this paid-creator GTM model is displacing traditional paid ads as an alternative growth channel — big budgets buy reach instantly, while everyone else grinds organic. A replier joked that sentientagency "beats everything here by a lot."
