Four principles

01

Performance first

We package around your affiliate economics. Flat-fees are the only thing we mark up.

02

Editorial independence

We sell; partners decide. Every influencer, builder and newsletter keeps veto on every brief.

03

Disclosure by default

Korea's labelling law, Japan's stealth-marketing rule, Taiwan's fair trade act — labels are part of the booking.

04

Three-currency settlement

KRW, JPY and USD. Media get paid in theirs; you pay in yours.

FAQ

What is VERIT?

VERIT is an East Asia AI media ad network. It bundles AI influencers, AI-native builders, creators, newsletters and communities in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore into performance-first launch packages for AI companies, and represents those partners so they do not have to sell ads themselves.

How is this different from buying CPM placements in AI newsletters?

None of the 12 AI companies we tracked appeared as an AI-newsletter sponsor in the issues we sampled (observed 2026-09-10). They pay creators flat fees plus recurring affiliate commissions (ElevenLabs 22%, Higgsfield up to 25%, PixVerse 30–35%). VERIT packages around that: creator flat-fees, your affiliate program and tracked codes, with newsletters and meetups added where they convert.

What does a package cost?

Anchors, not rate cards: Launch from $15K for one market, Scale from $30K for two to three markets, Always-on from $50K per quarter for all five. Every mix is designed from your brief within 48 hours.

Which channels work in each market?

Japan runs on X and YouTube — individual AI accounts are far larger than media brand accounts, and many AI video creators already work with video-model partner programs. Taiwan runs on YouTube and Instagram creators, Threads, Facebook groups and LINE OpenChat, with tech media reaching readers through Facebook pages. Korea runs on YouTube tech channels, Instagram and Threads creators, and newsletters. Hong Kong and Singapore work through English tech press and AI meetups.

How many AI channels have you mapped?

As of 2026-09-18 we have mapped 1093 AI channels across five markets — Korea 465 (YouTube 189 · Instagram 64 · X 61 · Threads 60 · newsletters 32 · blogs/note 20 · Facebook 14 · communities 14 · podcasts 11), Japan 419, Taiwan 205, plus Hong Kong and Singapore. The full list is public in the channel directory at verit.kr/en/network, with a source and observation date for every size figure. A listing is research, not a partnership; for each brief we confirm interest and rates with the channels directly. Follower totals are platform sums and are not deduplicated.

How do you handle advertising disclosure?

Disclosure is part of the booking. Korea requires an economic-interest label under its labelling and advertising law; Japan treats undisclosed promotion as stealth marketing under the 2023 premiums and representations rule; Taiwan applies its Fair Trade Act. VERIT adds the label for each market before publication.
