You can build an engine, or
you can chase spikes.

A viral post gets a few good days before the feed buries it. A partnership ad keeps the creator's word on it and keeps spending behind it, so the trust that earned a week of attention keeps earning months of it, across every creator you run.

Boost rights come with every plan. We operate the campaigns from Engine, and keep feeding new creative on Growth. See what runs where.

Run creator content on Meta,
not brand creative.

The ad runs from the creator's handle and yours. It looks like what the audience already follows, because it is.

01

An audience you cannot buy

Their followers, plus everyone who liked, watched or saved the post. That pool is specific and warm, and no targeting setting builds it for you.

02

Spend goes behind what already worked

The post runs organically first, so you know which angle converted before a dollar goes behind it. Doubling down becomes a decision, not a guess.

03

New creative before the winner fades

Creative fatigue is what kills these programs. New creator assets go in while the current ones are still working, so performance does not fall off a cliff.

Post on Monday.
Ads running by the next week.

We handle everything between you and the creator: matching, briefing, usage rights, ad setup.

INCLUDED

One month of boost rights,
agreed before filming.

Every creator we contract has already signed off on one month of paid usage, and it sits inside the creator fee. Nothing extra to pay, nothing to renegotiate.

5Nothing to ask for, nothing to pay twice

The timing is the whole thing. Ask before anyone knows which video worked and it is a routine clause. Ask after, and you are negotiating from the weaker side.

Extensions beyond the first month are negotiated per creator, at cost.

Why creators agree to it

A lower fixed fee plus a bonus on the metric you pick at kickoff. They earn more when your numbers go up, so paid reach is something they want too.

It starts as their post, not your ad

Their own audience sees it first, from an account they chose to follow. A Reel does nearly all of its organic work in week one, so that week tells us which angle moved people.

Illustrative figures.

Then four layers,
warmest first.

We spend where intent is highest and widen outward only once each layer proves out. Most accounts start at the bottom and never build the top three.

WARMEST

The creator's own followers

People who chose to follow this exact subject, week after week. No targeting setting reproduces a list like this.

Not just this post. Every person who liked, saved, shared, commented, or watched past 75% on anything that account published in the window. A creator with a few reels past 100,000 views in the last six months is carrying a pool most brands cannot build in a year of paid spend.

Where most accounts start, and stop. It works here because the creative does the qualifying. Korean creator content names its own audience in the first three seconds.

Audience sizes shown are illustrative. The engaged pool often runs larger than the follower count, because reels reach far past a creator's own followers and everyone who stopped on one counts. Actual sizes are estimated inside your own ad account.

And the next creator keeps it fed

One video eventually tires out. Two or three in rotation, with new ones every month, is a channel rather than a campaign.

Ads inside each set run as Partnership Ads on the creator's original post ID, so the likes, comments and views the post already earned carry into the ad. One set is shown in full. How the rest are named, sequenced and budgeted is what we build on the call. Figures are illustrative, not a live client account.
ONE SET PER CREATOR

Named by creator, not by guess

Each creator gets their own ad set built from their own audience, so you can see exactly which one produced signups instead of averaging them together.

ORIGINAL POST ID

The post keeps its social proof

We never download, re edit or re upload the video. The ad is the creator's real post, on their account, with the engagement it already earned.

YOUR ACCOUNT

You keep everything

Account, pixel, audiences and data stay yours. Ad budget goes from you straight to Meta. We never pay it and never take a cut of it.

Why it does not
fall off a cliff.

A single creative decays: frequency climbs, CPM follows, performance drops. The fix is not a better video, it is the next one arriving before this one tires.

One creator asset, left to run New creator assets added on a schedule

Illustrative shape of creative decay, not measured client data. Holding the green line requires new creator assets arriving every month, which is what the Growth plan is for.

A comment becomes a DM.
A DM becomes an audience.

Comment a keyword and the creator's account sends you the thing. It turns a passive viewer into someone who typed, and everyone who typed can be reached again.

Most of them pulled more comments than likes, which is not how a normal post behaves. Every one of those people lands in the pool we point the ads back at.

Embedded with each creator's permission and shown exactly as posted, on their own accounts. Comment counts as shown on the posts, Sep 2026.

Who runs the ads,
and for how long.

Everything on this page is what the creator ad layer looks like when it is running. How much of it we operate for you depends on the plan.

Every plan gives you the right to boost each creator's post for 30 days. What changes is whether we operate those campaigns for you, and whether new creative keeps arriving after the first month.

Detailed pricing is walked through on the call
Creator costs move with the creators we would actually pick for you, so a number published on a page is either wrong or padded. On the call you see the plan, the creator shortlist, and what each part costs, before you decide anything.

Questions we get
on the call.

We already use Advantage+. Is audience targeting still worth anything?+
Mostly no, and we would rather say that than pretend otherwise. Targeting setup stopped being the edge a while ago. What changed is that signals carry more weight, and that is where partnership ads are different. If you buy the video file and run it from your own account, it goes out with zero likes and zero comments. Run the same video as a partnership ad and the engagement the original post already earned goes with it, which is what the delivery system reads. Meta's own A/B test across roughly 2,400 campaigns puts partnership ads at 19% lower cost per result and 13% higher click through rate. Advantage+ optimises inside the assets you can reach. A creator's audience is not one of them until they grant rights.
Whose account does the ad run from?+
Both. A Partnership Ad carries the creator's handle and yours, side by side. That is the point. It does not read as a brand ad wearing a creator costume, because the creator's name is on it.
Is the ad management included in every plan?+
No, and this is the part worth getting straight before you pick a plan. The 30 day boost right is included everywhere, so you can always run the ads. What differs is who operates them. On Test you run them yourself or add management on. On Engine we set up and run them for 30 days. On Growth we keep running everything that stays live and add three new creators a month. The engine described on this page is running at full shape on Growth.
What happens after the 30 days are up?+
The boost right expires and the ad stops, unless we renew that creator's rights. On Growth this is part of the routine, since we keep older winners live while new creators come in. On Engine, the 30 day run ends and you decide whether to continue.
Do we need the creator's permission to run their video as an ad?+
Already handled. One month of boost rights is agreed with every creator before filming, and it is included in the creator fee you pay. There is no second negotiation once you find out a video is performing. This is one of the most common places foreign brands get stuck going direct, because by the time they ask, the creator knows the video worked.
How long can we keep running the content?+
One month is included with every creator, at no extra cost. Past that we extend per creator, and we usually recommend it for the winners, since the videos that keep performing are rarely the ones anyone predicted at the start.
Who runs the ad account, us or you?+
You own the account, the pixel and every piece of data in it. We get partner access, build the structure, and run it. If you stop working with us, the audiences and the creative stay with you.
What if a creator's video does not perform?+
Then it still gets a paid test, because organic reach and ad performance are not the same thing. A partnership ad keeps the creator's handle on the post, so it keeps reading as their recommendation, not a brand ad wearing their face. Budget is often what turns a good video into one that travels, earning the shares an organic post never got the chance to. We check hook rate and comment intent before spending, and we run several creators at once so no single video carries the whole bet.
Can you work alongside the agency already running our Meta ads?+
Yes, and it is usually the cleanest setup. They keep running your existing campaigns. We run the creator layer and hand over the winning assets and audiences. Most performance teams are happy to receive creative that has already proven itself organically.
How much ad budget do we need to start?+
From $30 a day per creator ad set. That is enough for each one to leave Meta's learning phase and come back with a number you can read instead of noise. About a week in you raise it on the creators that are converting and cut the ones that are not. This is media spend that goes from you straight to Meta, separate from what you pay us, and we show you both lines before anything starts.
Korean checkout flows sometimes break attribution. How do you measure?+
Per creator links and codes, so attribution does not depend entirely on the pixel firing correctly. We report landing page views, signups and paying users per creator. When a client's own checkout has issues, we can still show you exactly who brought qualified people to the site.
