Real questions that come up

Do I pay to sign-up for the platform?

No. It’s free. You can search, save to Projects, browse and use Storyboards for a prototype reel. Invite the full team to join. You only pay when you license and clear assets.

Do I search on my own for assets?

Yes, start searching by going to our creator community and check out the suggested keywords. If you need inspiration, take a peek in the galleries that we continually update. Our expert curators can do the search for you, delivered in projects that fit your campaign brief.

Is this a library of pre-cleared assets, ready to use?

No. This is a marketplace and is dynamically changing all the time. New creators join, sync to their socials and new content is added. You select the assets you want and we automate the clearance and license steps. This is not static or pre-cleared and therefore unlike stock providers.

How is the price of a piece of content determined?

Pricing is determined by asset and usage requested. Every asset is different depending on the creator and also how you want to use it. Usage parameters are determined inside the platform when you set up your campaign. Our competitive and fair pricing honors both the creator and you as a brand or agency user.

Making it easy. Keeping it Real.
