Rook & Pawn
Clipper Management
Expensive assets — podcasts, webinars, talkshows — are produced big, air once, then sit in the archive.
Overview
A content clipping and distribution service. We cut long-form video (podcasts, entertainment content, YouTube) into short-form, then distribute it at scale via a clipper account network. Existing short-form can also be distributed more widely. We provide the clipper accounts.
The problem it solves
There are assets already paid for handsomely and used only once. A two-hour podcast, a webinar, a talkshow — produced at great cost, aired once, then left in the archive. Yet inside those two hours are thirty moments that could live on their own. The problem: no one has time to cut them, and one account isn’t enough to distribute them at scale.
Signs you need this
- You have long-form content that airs only once
- Reach is limited because distribution rests on a single account
- You want distribution volume that isn’t realistic from the brand’s own account
- Your short-form is good, but doesn’t reach enough people
