Frequently asked questions

Can we use creator content in our performance ads?

Yes, if paid-media usage and whitelisting are agreed. Plan this up front; adding it later usually costs more.

Should a marketplace have one face or many?

Many marketplaces use different faces for different categories or regions, with one hero face for sale events.

How quickly can talent content be produced for a sale?

Short-form creator content can move quickly once briefs and approvals are agreed. Celebrity shoots need more lead time.
