Creation

Content Creation Guidelines

Every piece of influencer content should be evaluated against these standards before approval and after publishing.

Authenticity - Maintain genuine voice and personal style

Brief creators on objectives, not scripts — authentic content consistently outperforms overly produced posts.

Visual Quality - High-resolution images and clear video

Minimum 1080p for video, stable footage, and clean audio are non-negotiable baselines for brand-associated content.

Brand Alignment - Consistent with brand values and messaging

Content should reflect your brand tone without overriding the creator's authentic style and audience relationship.

Disclosure Compliance - Clear sponsorship and partnership disclosure

Use platform-native disclosure tools (#ad, #sponsored, paid partnership labels) in line with FTC and local regulations.

Audience Relevance - Content tailored to target audience interests

Irrelevant content drives low engagement and harms brand perception — verify creator audience alignment before briefing.
