Who it’s for

Brands with a demonstrable product and documented claim boundaries.
Campaigns using paid, gifted, discounted or commission-based relationships.
Businesses needing creator due diligence and trackable economics.
Regulated categories requiring specialist review.

When you may not need it — Do not use creators to make claims the brand cannot lawfully make. Large follower counts without audience fit, authenticity or commercial controls are not a strategy.

Questions founders ask

Is disclosure needed for a free product?

Yes, a gift can be a material connection.

Can #collab be buried among hashtags?

Disclosure must be prominent, not hidden.

Does the influencer own the content?

Usually unless contract/licence says otherwise; settle usage before publication.
