# Purple Cow

> Purple Cow is a creator marketing platform that connects businesses with vetted content creators and runs the whole production workflow in one place: brief, creator matching, drafts, frame-by-frame review, revisions, and payment released from escrow on approval. It covers UGC, influencer, and AI video work for Arabic-speaking markets.

Purple Cow is the product; the operating company is Lumos Tech - FZCO, registered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

It is a two-sided marketplace. Businesses and brands are the paying customers (B2B). Content creators, including UGC creators and micro and nano influencers, are the supply side: they apply to projects, produce the content, and are paid when a brand approves. Purple Cow is not an advertising agency, a video production studio, or a passive creator directory - the platform runs the workflow itself.

Market coverage is the Arab world and Arabic-speaking markets generally, with the strongest commercial focus on the Gulf, Egypt, and Jordan. It is not limited to any three countries.

English pages live at https://pcow.io/... and Arabic pages at https://pcow.io/ar/.... Arabic is a full localisation with its own canonical URLs, not a translation layer over the English pages. Every URL below is a canonical, live page carrying no tracking parameters.

## Start Here

- [Creator Marketing Operating System](https://pcow.io/): Home page. Purple Cow as the marketplace layer between brands that need video and the creators who film it: the brand pays, the creator produces, the platform runs the workflow in between.
- [How Purple Cow works](https://pcow.io/how-it-works/): The five-day loop, both sides. Matching is application-based, not algorithmic assignment: the brand posts format, region, budget and deadline; vetted creators apply with their rates and prior work (first applications within about 48 hours); the brand picks the ones it wants. Then drafts, frame-by-frame comments, revisions, and approval releasing payment. Also carries the FAQ on cost, revisions, and how creators are vetted.
- [About Purple Cow](https://pcow.io/about/): Company background and mission - building an operating system connecting businesses with content creators and media partners, replacing email threads and unclear pricing with defined workflows.

## For Businesses

- [Idea on Sunday. Video live by Wednesday.](https://pcow.io/for-businesses/): The buyer side of the marketplace. How a brand briefs a video, receives creator applications, approves drafts, and pays only on approval. This is the paying side of the platform.
- [Enterprise creator operations](https://pcow.io/enterprise/): Higher-volume and enterprise arrangements for teams running continuous creator campaigns.
- [See Purple Cow in action](https://pcow.io/book-a-demo/): Book a guided walkthrough with the team.

## For Creators

- [Create for brands. Get paid safely.](https://pcow.io/for-creators/): The supply side of the marketplace. How a creator joins (submit handle and niche, audience verified within about 24 hours, free), browses paid projects, films and submits in-app, and is paid the day a brand approves. Creators are paid by the platform; they are not the paying customer.

## Pricing

- [Purple Cow Pricing](https://pcow.io/pricing/): Two ways to buy, covering UGC, influencer, and AI video work: a single video with no commitment, or a prepaid wallet whose packages carry bonus credits that scale with size, plus rush credits on the larger tiers. Prices are in US dollars and set on this page - read it for current figures rather than relying on any number quoted elsewhere.
- [Pack Expiration Policy](https://pcow.io/pack-expiration-policy/): How long purchased credit packs remain valid.

## Help and Documentation

## Arabic Site (المحتوى العربي)

Arabic is a full localisation, not a translated overlay, and these are its canonical URLs. The mapping rule is positional: prefix the English path with /ar/ (https://pcow.io/pricing/ becomes https://pcow.io/ar/pricing/). Content matches the English page of the same name, so the descriptions above apply; only the exceptions are called out below. Article slugs are Arabic and percent-encoded, so they cannot be derived from the English slug - use the exact URLs listed.
