Choose the creator model that fits the campaign
- UGC production. Creator-shot video, photography, demonstrations, tutorials, problem/solution concepts, testimonials, B-roll and commerce creative for agreed brand use.
- Creator posting. Content published to a creator’s own audience when posting is part of the agreed scope.
- Affiliate and performance partnerships. Programs with individual tracking, defined commission, attribution and payout terms.
- Product seeding. Product-led creator outreach with gifting, shipping and content expectations defined before participation.
- Ambassador programs. Longer-term relationships for brands that want repeat creators instead of rebuilding the roster for every campaign.
- Partnership ads. Creator-handle or platform-authorized advertising with permissions, duration and commercial terms agreed in advance.
- Managed creator programs. Ongoing sourcing, matching, coordination, deliverable tracking and reporting.

Rights are an operating layer
Creator content may move into paid social, product pages, websites, email, marketplaces or retail. Record where each asset may be used, for how long, in which territories, whether creator-handle advertising is allowed and when permissions expire.
Measurement belongs in the brief
Depending on the campaign, measurement can include creative hold and completion, clicks, attributed orders, revenue, paid-media efficiency, creator reliability, asset reuse and rights duration.

Creator economics stay visible
StartUGC campaign and management fees are scoped separately from creator compensation. Creator fees, product costs, shipping, commissions and usage rights should remain visible commercial terms rather than disappearing inside unclear payouts.
