Why a Starter Exists
The standard agency model has a predictable failure mode: extended scoping calls, custom proposals, vague deliverables, and retainer commitments that feel like a leap of faith. Brands delay, agencies chase, nothing ships.
The Creator Engine Starter removes every friction point. Fixed scope. Fixed price. Defined deliverables. 30-day timeline. You know exactly what you are buying before you commit to anything.
By day 30 you have a functioning creator infrastructure — not a deck, not a strategy document, not a "phase one plan." A live system with creators posting, tracking in place, and a performance report in your hands.
Fixed Deliverables
This is a productized service. The scope does not expand. The price does not change. The timeline does not slip.
30–50 shortlisted creators with engagement benchmarks, audience demographics, and fit assessment.
Outreached, agreed, briefed, and posting by day 27. Nano (1K–10K) and micro (10K–100K) — not mega influencers.
Content direction brief, hook strategy, format options, and brand dos/don'ts — reusable for every future cycle.
Programme configured, creator links generated, commission structure live, tracking in place. (Where applicable — requires TikTok Shop eligibility.)
Creator posts live. Organic performance tracked. Spark Ads candidates identified.
Weekly performance tracking: views, engagement rate, saves, affiliate GMV, ad ROAS — structured for ongoing reporting.
Full cycle debrief: what worked, what did not, creator rankings, top content, and month-two strategy recommendation.
Every creator relationship built in month one is yours. The infrastructure continues regardless of whether you stay with us.
The 30-Day Timeline
After the Starter
Brands that want to continue after the Starter transition directly to the Creator Growth Engine — the ongoing monthly operating system that scales and iterates what month one built. Same creators, same infrastructure, same reporting format. Nothing rebuilt from scratch.
Brands that want to run the Starter once and take it in-house retain everything: the creator network, the brief playbook, the TikTok Shop affiliate system, the reporting dashboard, all content. The infrastructure is yours regardless of what you do next.
We do not lock in creator relationships or platform access. The Starter is designed to prove the model works before you commit to more.
Transition to the Creator Growth Engine monthly retainer. Scale the network, run Spark Ads, iterate on what month one proved. Infrastructure already built — no restart cost.
Take the creator network, playbooks, and infrastructure in-house. You retain everything built in 30 days. No lock-in, no ongoing obligation. The work is yours.

Common Questions
The Creator Engine Starter is a fixed-price, fixed-scope 30-day programme that builds the foundation of a creator-led growth system for consumer brands. In 30 days we source and activate 15–20 nano and micro creators, build TikTok Shop affiliate infrastructure, run the first content cycle, and deliver a complete performance report. It is designed as a no-risk entry into the Creator Growth Engine operating model — with a fixed price and clear deliverables.
The Creator Engine Starter starts from $4,500 USD. This is an all-inclusive fixed fee covering creator sourcing, vetting, outreach, product seeding logistics, brief development, TikTok Shop affiliate setup, first content cycle management, and a full 30-day performance report. Product shipping and creator gifting costs are separate and depend on your product category.
After the Starter, brands that want to continue typically transition to the Creator Growth Engine monthly retainer — the ongoing operating system that scales and iterates the creator network built in month one. The infrastructure built in the Starter (creator network, brief playbook, TikTok Shop affiliate system, reporting dashboard) carries directly into the retainer. Nothing is thrown away.
Fixed pricing eliminates the extended scoping process that most agencies use to gatekeep entry. If your brand fits the scope — a consumer product in beauty, food, fashion, or lifestyle — the deliverables and timeline are defined, and the price is set. You know exactly what you are buying before you commit. This is how productized services work, and it is how we prefer to work.
The Starter is designed for consumer product brands in beauty, skincare, food and beverage, fashion, and lifestyle — with a product that can be shipped to creators and that has TikTok-ready visual appeal. It is particularly well-suited to brands that have never run a structured creator programme and want to see what a properly operated system delivers before committing to an ongoing retainer.
