How it works

A controlled, measurable process — start to scaling retainer.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined sequence, in order, no skipping steps — it's what protects your budget and keeps the results honest.

Step 1

Qualification

We screen every brand for conversion readiness — a fast-loading, mobile-friendly store with visible social proof — and a workable average order value, before spending real research time on a niche that can't sustain both agency margin and creator payouts. Weak economics get cut here, not after you've paid for a campaign.

Step 2

Research & audit

For brands that pass, we build a one-page Creator Growth Audit: one observed content gap, two content concepts, and three creator candidates matched to your niche, budget, and target audience. This is what our first pitch is built on — never a generic deck.

Step 3

Pilot

A small, fixed-scope, fixed-price pilot — one or two creators, a defined start and end date, clear deliverables. A 50% deposit clears before anything moves. No open-ended commitment while you're still evaluating fit.

Step 4

Measurement

Every creator gets a unique tracking link and discount code from post one, with a defined fallback (a post-purchase survey question) for anything ad blockers or broken links miss. You get CAC, AOV, and attributed revenue — reported in your language, reconciled monthly.

Step 5

Retainer

Pilots that prove out move to a monthly retainer — expanding the creator roster and, where the data earns it, adding paid amplification through properly licensed Partnership Ads or Spark Ads. The niche research compounds: your second campaign costs less than your first.

FAQ

Questions about the process

The practical details — timelines, inputs, approvals, and licensing.

How long does a pilot typically take?

Most pilots run a few weeks from creator confirmation to final report — enough time for content to go live, tracking to accumulate, and a real read on performance, without dragging out a first engagement.

What do you need from us to get started?

A short 15–20 minute discovery call to diagnose your economics, current creator activity, and CAC/AOV goals — plus product for shipping to creators once a pilot is scoped and the deposit clears.

Do we get a say in which creators are used?

Yes — the audit presents specific candidates with rationale, and nothing moves to a contract without your approval on the shortlist. You approve the creators, the content, and the disclosure before anything goes live.

What happens after a successful pilot?

We move to a monthly retainer: expanding the roster, adding paid amplification where the data supports it, and reusing the niche research already built — which is exactly why the second and third campaign in the same niche cost less effort than the first.

How is paid amplification licensed?

As a separately contracted service — never bundled silently into an organic fee. Typically a 90-day, non-exclusive digital advertising license for the approved deliverables, with duration, platforms, and renewal terms spelled out before launch.
