Questions

Social Native vs. #paid, answered

How is Social Native different from a creator marketplace like #paid?

#paid describes itself as "a marketplace for creators and brands", built around creators opting into briefs. We are a marketplace plus a prediction layer plus production plus paid scaling: we forecast which briefs and creators will perform before spend, produce the content, and put paid behind the winners.

Do creators apply to my briefs on Social Native?

We match creators to the brief based on predicted performance for your brand and goal, rather than relying only on who self-selects. Creators are invited to campaigns they are a fit for, and can also request invitations to open campaigns.

Does Social Native handle content licensing?

Yes — universal content rights are part of the platform, with a content library you own, so assets can be reused across paid, email, product pages and retail syndication.
