About

A desk, not another provider

ChannelScale Partners does not move money, distribute catalogues or sell ad inventory. It does one thing: work out which provider should be doing those for a particular channel, and hand that channel over with the terms already on the table. Nothing is white-labelled here — the provider you end up with is the provider you deal with.

That judgement is not an opinion, it is volume. Applications arrive here in quantity, and the same questions repeat with the country, the audience size and the kind of catalogue behind the channel. Which rail clears quickly where you live, which distributor is worth the cut at your size, who actually answers on a weekend — the pattern is only visible from a distance, and this desk stands at that distance.

What gets matched

Everything a provider can switch on,
and nothing you have to take

Nine things are worth comparing between providers. Most channels need two of them, and finding out which two is the entire job.

Payouts

Payout routing

Earnings leave in the currency you actually spend, by whichever rail clears where you live. The right answer is different in Warsaw and in Lagos.

Timing

Early payouts

The wait between earning and holding the money is a platform default, not a law. Some providers shorten it; the cut they take for that is the thing to compare.

Planning

Advances

The expensive month rarely lines up with the paying month. Income that has not arrived yet can cover the gap — on terms that vary wildly between desks.

Speed

Instant transfers

Express payouts for the days the money was needed yesterday. Worth having, rarely worth paying for twice.

Accounts

Business accounts

Account details of your own for receiving and moving money — the point at which a channel stops being a hobby on paper.

Catalogue

Catalogue distribution

One upload puts a catalogue everywhere it can earn, and audio that travels keeps paying on short-form long after the release week.

Games

In-platform games

Playable formats published inside the video platforms themselves, in front of an audience that is already sitting there.

Web

Web monetisation

Sites and apps reach premium ad inventory through an intermediary’s stack. Which intermediary decides what the same traffic is worth.

Brands

Brand collaborations

Campaigns, creator search and the payments that follow, on one platform instead of five spreadsheets and a chase-up email.

The shortlist

Forty providers in, two names out

The same four constraints are applied to every candidate, in the same order. Most of them fall at the first one, and the reason each name survived is written next to it.

How it works

From one email to the provider that fits

01
Send the setup over
At the bottom of this page: a name, an address and a link. If it is easier to describe the situation in your own words, the email next to the form reaches exactly the same desk.
- A link and a rough sense of the size is enough to start
- Replies are written by a person, not by a ticket queue
- Nothing is signed at this stage, and nothing is forwarded yet
What it takes
Three fields
Who replies
A person
02
Read it against the market
Four things decide almost everything: where the money has to land, how much of it there is, what sits next to the channel, and how badly the timing hurts. The rest of a provider’s pitch is noise until those are settled.
- Which rails clear quickly in your country, and at what cost
- Whether early payouts or an advance is the cheaper fix
- What else — catalogue, site, app — is worth monetising at all

Get a shortlist
Not a directory and not a single name presented as destiny. Two or three providers that fit your case, each with the thing it is good at and the thing it is bad at written next to it — including the cases where the honest answer is that your current setup already wins.
- Every name comes with the reason it is on the list
- The trade-offs are stated, not buried under a rate table
- “Stay where you are” is a valid outcome and does get said

04
Get handed over
Once you pick one, the introduction is made with your case already explained, so the first conversation starts past the discovery call. From there the relationship is yours and the provider’s; the desk stays reachable if it goes sideways.
- Your setup arrives at the provider already written up
- Terms are discussed before anything is switched on
- The desk stays reachable after the handover

Stories

Told by people who were matched

The useful part is rarely the name at the end. It is being told which of the things you were worrying about actually mattered in your case.

Travel channel340K subscribers
I shoot in one country and pay rent in another, and every provider I looked at was excellent at the part of that I did not need. Someone finally asked where the money had to land first, and the list got very short after that.

I expected to be sold something. What I got was two names and the reason each one was on the list, including the bit where the cheaper one would have been worse for a catalogue my size.
Distribution · shortlist of two
Gaming studioFour channels
We shoot in seasons, so the expensive month is never the month anything pays. The useful part was being told which of the two fixes we were considering was the one that actually applied to us.

The answer was that my current setup was already fine and I should change one thing, not everything. It is the first time anyone in this industry has told me to do less.
