Campaign foundations
What every campaign should define
Before posting starts, define the campaign job and the rules for content creation, approval, publishing, and reporting.
- Objective, audience, platform, offer, deadline, and campaign window.
- Content formats such as Reels, TikTok, Shorts, Stories, photos, UGC assets, or posts.
- Disclosure, usage rights, permissions, and submission process.
- Tracking fields such as post links, content status, views, saves, shares, comments, and notes.
Creator and UGC options
How creator content can fit a campaign
Campaigns can use creators who post to their own audience, UGC creators who deliver assets, or hybrid creators who do both.
- Influencer posts for audience distribution and local discovery.
- UGC assets for ads, landing pages, organic social, and product pages.
- Creator visits for restaurants, salons, studios, venues, and local services.
- Campaign trackers to keep delivery visible across multiple creators or posts.
