If you require an S3 bucket/FTP server/Google Drive folder/MRSS/API, etc. to upload the assets, please contact Pzaz at onboarding@pzaz.io to arrange for this.

*Any delay in Pzaz receiving the full content asset package could result in an inaccurate estimation of Pzaz’s proposed release date and/or a significant delay in promotion materials and in your channel being released to live on our platform.*
