Common questions

Is there a minimum budget?

Campaigns typically start around $1,000 total. That ensures we can deliver a meaningful placement with a creator who has a genuinely engaged audience.

How are creators selected?

We cross‑reference your ICP with our network of 200+ vetted creators, then present a shortlist. You choose who fits.

What if I already have a creator in mind?

Great — share their name. We'll audit them. If they meet our quality bar, we'll include them in your campaign.

How does payment work?

We invoice 50% to lock in placements and 50% when the campaign goes live. You'll always know the exact total before anything runs.

How long until we see results?

Most campaigns launch within 30 days of our first conversation. Reporting starts immediately after the first placement.

What's the management fee?

Our fee is a transparent, flat percentage added to the creator's rate. We'll walk you through it on our first call — no hidden costs, ever.
