How assets are delivered: At launch, you receive a full asset set built around a single brief — visually and creatively diverse to maximize surface area across Meta placements and audiences. From there, our in-house production team iterates every two weeks, delivering data-driven edits and fresh variations informed by what's working in platform. The large upfront shoot creates a content sandbox — iterations draw from that material, so coverage is deep, not indefinite. Volume scales with spend.

Budget Reality Check
Optional
Not sure how much to spend? Back into a number — two ways. Use your current Meta CPA to find a minimum viable spend, or use your total digital budget to find a whitelisting allocation range.

$100 – $150 / day
A performance creator campaign requires a daily budget of 2–3× your CPA during the first 7 days of testing. Over a full month, that's 60–90× your CPA per campaign as the absolute minimum — not a target spend, just the floor. If that number feels like a lot — we may not be the right fit yet. If it feels small or manageable, that's a signal you're ready to test and maybe even scale creative further. Want to start with more than one campaign? Add them above — each additional creator, audience, or SKU you want to test needs its own budget.

Industry standard: Brands running paid social typically allocate 10–30% of their total digital media budget to creator and partnership (whitelisting) campaigns. At $500K/month total, that's $50K–$150K/month as Performance Creator spend — well into our 5% performance fee tier.
