RELATED CAPABILITIES
When the project needs another skill.
You can engage this service alone. These capabilities may help when the work crosses into another area.
RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES
Important boundaries for this work.
Real creator content and synthetic production are different. Generated people must not be presented as real customers, and invented experiences or endorsements are not acceptable. Publishing, editing and paid-ad rights depend on the agreed licences.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions you may have.
Can we buy content without campaign management?
Yes. You can hire us for production, creator coordination or a full campaign. We agree the files, formats, revisions and publishing responsibilities before starting.
Is AI-generated content the same as real UGC?
No. UGC uses real creator content and experiences. Generated scenes, avatars and virtual presenters are synthetic material. We do not invent customer experiences or endorsements.
Where can we use the finished content?
That depends on the agreed rights for creators, performers, music and other materials. We document channels, licence length, countries, paid-ad use, editing and any other restrictions.
Can we run ads using a creator’s content?
Yes, where the creator and platform permit it. We check the exact rights and account access first. A creator posting content does not automatically give you permission to advertise with it.
Can you make versions in other languages?
Yes, for the languages and formats agreed in the proposal. Review covers meaning, claims, captions and pronunciation, along with voice permissions and required disclosures.
