INVOICE A
Our fee
The package price above. Strategy, casting, contracts, review and reporting.
INVOICE B
Creators and media
Creator fees, product seeding and any ad spend, at cost, with each line shown.
Many agencies charge a share of creator spend instead, often quoted at 15 to 25 percent. That model rewards booking pricier creators. A flat fee keeps our advice independent of who you book.

Choosing a plan
The Pilot suits a brand running its first creator campaign or testing a new category. Program suits brands that already know creators work well for them and want a steady monthly rhythm. Always-on suits brands building long-term ambassador relationships with a handful of trusted creators. The free outline usually makes the choice clear for your brand, and if a Pilot answers your question, there is no need to go any further than that.
Payment and notice
Our monthly fees are set in US dollars and confirmed in your statement of work. Creator costs are invoiced separately when creators are booked, so you always see exactly what creators receive and what the studio receives. Flexible plans roll on monthly, and a month's written notice from either side brings any engagement to a close; the terms give the details.
What creator budgets usually cover
Creator fees cover the post or the UGC itself; paid usage, whitelisting, exclusivity and raw footage are usually priced on top. Published 2026 research puts paid usage at a meaningful share of a creator's base fee for each period. We list each item separately in the campaign budget, so you can decide line by line what is worth paying for. Our guide to usage rights explains the ranges.
Questions about pricing
- Why charge a set monthly fee rather than a cut of creator spend?
- A percentage gives an agency a reason to book more expensive creators. A flat fee does not. You see exactly what each creator is paid, because their fees go through at cost.
- What will creators cost on top?
- It depends on the creators, formats and usage rights. 2026 guides for Los Angeles put micro creators at roughly $250 to $1,500 per post and mid-tier creators at $1,500 to $5,000. We give you a costed shortlist before anything is booked.
- Is there a minimum creator budget?
- No fixed minimum, but a Pilot usually needs enough for three to six creators to learn anything useful. We will tell you honestly if a budget is too small.
- Can we switch packages?
- Yes, at the end of any month on a flexible plan, or at the end of a commitment. Moving up mid-commitment is also possible; we confirm it in writing.
