What is HoldFast?

The one-paragraph tour of the three ways you share work, and the thing none of the others have: seeing who watched.

Updated

Three things eat a working week in any studio: getting files to the client, getting usable notes back, and the quiet question that never gets answered: *did they even watch it?* HoldFast is built around all three. You upload once, share three different ways depending on the job, and every one of those links reports back who opened it.

The three ways you share work

Review Links (/r/…) are for feedback. You send a cut, your reviewer lands on a clean branded page with no account to make, and every note they leave pins itself to the exact frame. This is the tool for the back-and-forth of an edit.

Reels (/s/…) are for showing off. Your best clips become one cinematic, branded page: your logo, your colours, playing edge to edge. It's the showreel, the sizzle, the sales piece you send instead of a folder of MP4s.

Presentations (/d/…) are for decks. A PDF, a PowerPoint, a Gamma export, or a live Google Slides link becomes one full-bleed, branded page (pitch decks, case studies, proposals) that tracks which slides got read.

The part that's actually different

Anyone can host a video. What HoldFast adds is connected intelligence: every review link, reel, and presentation resolves the anonymous traffic it receives into named companies (and, when someone arrives through an email gate or a personalized link, named people), each carrying an engagement score. So "47 views" becomes "Coastal Spirits opened it three times this week, and the second viewer was their creative director."
