You pay a premium for a single placement, then start again next quarter.
The audience discounts a one-off post because it is obviously paid, and they are right to. Then the campaign ends, the relationship ends with it, and three months later you are paying the same premium to a different creator to say a similar thing to a similar audience.
Nothing you built last quarter carried forward.
You started from zero.
Most marketers already know the same creator across six months outperforms six creators once. Almost nobody builds it, because ongoing relationships need ongoing management and nobody internally has the hours.
We build the roster, contract it properly, and run it every month so it compounds instead of resetting.
QUESTIONS WE GET ASKED
"How long should a programme run?"
Twelve months is where the compounding becomes visible. Much shorter and it behaves like a campaign, which means paying programme prices for campaign results.
"Can we start small?"
Yes. Three or four creators is a real programme and a sensible first term. Starting with twenty is how brands discover they cannot manage twenty.
"Do you include affiliate or performance pay?"
Where it genuinely fits, built on top of a base fee rather than instead of one. Pure performance pay transfers your execution risk to the creator, and the good ones decline it.
"What if a partner stops performing?"
Quarterly review, with a clean exit written into every agreement from the start. Nobody is trapped and nobody is surprised.
