Gameo – Personalised Video Platform
A Cameo-style platform where fans book personalised video messages from the creators and personalities they follow, with requests, recording, payment and delivery handled in one place
Overview
Gameo is a personalised video platform in the style of Cameo. Fans choose a creator or personality, request a video for a birthday, a milestone or simply a shoutout, and receive a message recorded for them by name. Sodio built the platform — the fan experience, the talent app and the marketplace in between.
The model depends on serving two sides well at the same time. Fans need to discover talent, understand exactly what they will get, and pay with confidence. Talent need requests to arrive clearly, recording to take minutes on their own phone, and payment to follow without chasing.
In between sits the marketplace logic: pricing set by each talent, request queues with delivery deadlines, video processing and delivery, and payouts for every video completed.
/// The Brief
The client wanted a platform where fans could book personalised video messages from the people they follow — a direct, personal connection that a comment or a like can never give.
The brief covered the whole marketplace: talent profiles and discovery, a request flow that captured exactly what the fan wanted, a way for talent to record and deliver quickly, and payments that protected fans while making sure talent were paid for every video they completed.
/// Our Approach
We designed the talent side first, because talent time is the scarcest resource on the platform. A request that is confusing or awkward to fulfil is a request that sits unanswered. Each one arrives with the recipient’s name, the occasion and the fan’s instructions laid out clearly, and a video can be recorded and sent from the phone in a single flow.
On the fan side, the priority was confidence. Talent profiles show the price up front, the request form captures everything the talent needs to make the video genuinely personal, and the platform was designed so that a fan is never left paying for a video that does not arrive.
Video sits at the centre of the product, so recording, upload and processing had to be reliable on ordinary phones and ordinary connections. Once delivered, the video is ready for the fan to watch and share — and sharing is where much of a personalised video’s value lies.
/// The Result
The result is Gameo: a personalised video marketplace connecting fans with the creators and personalities they follow.
Fans can book a video in a few steps and receive something made for them by name. Talent can turn requests around from their phone in minutes, set their own prices and get paid for what they deliver.
It is a two-sided marketplace that only works if both sides do, and the build reflects that: effortless for the talent, trustworthy for the fan.
