About Middleman Institute

Middleman Roundtable, the paid program, is organised in modules that include niche and offer selection, email setup and warmup, influencer sourcing and campaign management.[2] It comes with outreach scripts, contracts, invoices, campaign trackers and negotiation frameworks, plus weekly group coaching calls with live Q&A.[2] Entry is by application, and access is sold as lifetime access.[2] Middleman Academy is a separate 1:1 mentorship for complete beginners, with weekly coaching calls with Bucco, WhatsApp access between calls, and Bucco's templates, contracts and negotiation tactics.[3] Its fee is not published and is discussed on a qualification call.[3] The mentorship's stated aim is a first brand deal within 40 days, and the site gives no legal guarantee, since success also depends on the member's own effort.[3]

Aoniz Group is an influencer marketing and talent management agency working with creators and brands across multiple markets, offering brand partnerships and content licensing.[4] The agency says it started in 2020 in the Balkan region.[4] Bucco also posts on YouTube and runs a free Discord for aspiring agency owners, and the newsletter Middleman Secrets sends templates, outreach scripts and step-by-step breakdowns.[1][3][5]
