Paid Growth Campaigns

Flagship Paid Growth Campaigns offer a scalable way for brands with a budget (10k minimum to invest) to drive sales using advanced AI to quickly connect you with creators who resonate with your brand. With this program:

• Smart Matching: Our AI-powered system identifies and connects you with the most relevant creators in just minutes.
• Fixed Payment Model: Creators receive a fixed payment for guaranteed shares—specifically, three IG shares within a 30-day period. The payment is lower than traditional sponsored content as there are no content approvals or guidelines.
• Efficient Payouts: Creators are compensated within one week after completing their deliverables.
• Real-Time Insights: Monitor your campaign’s performance live with key metrics like paced ROAS and CAC, so you always know how your budget is working for you.

Flagship’s Paid Growth Campaigns are designed to streamline the entire process, from creator discovery to performance tracking, so you can focus on growing your sales predictably.

How long to these campaigns run? 

Paid Growth Campaigns run for up to 60 days maximum. Typically, the first 30 days are dedicated to sending offers to your top-matched creators, while the remaining time is for creators to post their three required shares. Depending on factors like budget size, niche, and demand, you might start seeing new creators join your campaign within 15–20 days—but the entire process won’t exceed 60 days.

How does this help brands? 

Traditional creator campaigns often involve a lot of slow moving parts—lengthy discovery, negotiations, spend optimization, and content approvals—that can make scaling sales with creators unpredictable and expensive. Flagship’s Paid Growth Campaigns deliver smarter results faster by reducing operational time, cutting coordination headaches, and lowering costs. This lets you focus on growing your sales with predictable outcomes.

Working with Creators

Creators love the flexible, low-effort opportunities to share and earn. Here’s what they need to do:

• Redeem the associated gift: (Optional—if they already have the product, they can pass.)
• Share their Flagship shop link: Post the link to the specific brand or product within their Flagship shop 3 times over 30 days via IG. Story frames should include a photo or video of the product. Flagship will automatically detect these shares.
• Space out the posts: Shares should be posted at least one day apart for optimal detection.

Setting up Paid Campaigns

Select gifts: 

• In the Incentives section, choose the gifts you want to offer creators.

• Creators choose one product as a gift (optional for them).

Commission: 

• No action required here—creator commissions are automatically set to 10% for the campaign.

Set a discount:

• This step is optional, but we recommend offering at least a 10% discount throughout the campaign. You can set the discount across your entire product catalog or on the individual products gifted. s
• Most brands opt for a 15–20% discount to drive purchases.

Target Creators: 

• After you provide your target audience blurb, our AI generates a sample list of creators.
• Review the list and deselect any creators you do not want offers sent to for your campaign.
• At this time you are unable to select specific creators you want to work with. If there is a specific creator you want to work with, we recommend extending an individual share bonus.

• From here, Flagship will dynamically source, price, and invite creators to participate in your Paid Growth Campaign.

Campaign tracking and success

Monitor your campaign in real time by navigating to Campaigns > Paid Growth and selecting the current campaign. There, you'll see key metrics like shares, link clicks, conversions, sales, CAC, and estimated ROAS. You'll also be able to see the status and performance of each participating creator.

What are the various creator statuses? 

• Pending: The share bonus offer has been sent to the creator. They have 7 days to accept the offer before it expires.
• Gift Redeemed: The creator redeemed the gift (if applicable). An order number is provided to help with tracking purposes. Creators typically begin sharing once they have received and tried the gift.
• Activated: Creator has received the gift (if applicable) and has 30 days to complete three shares within 30 days. During this period, you’ll see the number of shares update in real time.
• Completed: The creator has finished all three required shares, and the offer status will change to Completed.
• Expired: The offer expired because the creator did not accept or pass within the 7-day period
• Denied: The creator declined the share bonus offer.

What happens if a creator doesn’t deliver the required shares?

If a creator does not complete all three link shares in 30 days they will will forfeit the bonus and not receive payment.
