Steve

Steve is a co-founder and co-CEO of PLAYLAB, the Seoul-based TikTok creator seeding agency, where he heads seeding strategy. He designs how a brand's seeding campaign is structured: which creators qualify for a product, how shipment volume is sized against the number of live posts the brand needs, and how the work is billed — PLAYLAB charges per live piece of content actually published, not per shipment. His strategy starts from data rather than from a creator list: PLAYLAB's own dataset of 1,500,000+ global TikTok creators, each described by structured attributes and multi-window performance metrics.

His Playbook guides answer the questions brands ask when they evaluate a seeding partner: how to choose a TikTok seeding agency, whether to be billed per shipment or per upload, what a seeding agency does and what stays with the brand, how a seeding platform differs from an agency, who picks the creators, what records to keep after a campaign, when to use open or target collaboration for TikTok Shop affiliates, whether one agency can cover TikTok Shop and Amazon seeding, and how to check an agency's depth in markets such as Indonesia, Europe or Australia before signing.
