Influencer & Creator Partnerships

Creator partnerships that convert.

We pick creators on conversion data, not follower counts, pay them on tracked links and tiered commissions, and scale the content that sells.

Programs run on Impact, CJ, Awin, Rakuten Advertising, ShareASale & PartnerStack

The problem

Where creator spend goes wrong.

What we usually find

  • Big flat fees paid on follower counts
  • Posts with no tracking, so nobody knows what sold
  • One-off campaigns that never compound
  • Winning content that disappears after 24 hours

How we run creator programs

  • Creators vetted on audience fit, engagement and past performance
  • Every creator on a tracked link or code
  • Affiliate and hybrid deals that reward sales
  • Whitelisting and Spark Ads to scale winning content

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Something else on your mind? Email team@referstudio.com.

Do you pay creators flat fees?

Sometimes. For creators with proven conversion we use hybrid deals: a modest fee plus commission. For most, we start on commission or a small test fee and scale with results.

Which platforms do you cover?

YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, plus UGC. We pick platforms based on where your buyers watch and what converts for your product.

How do you choose creators?

On audience fit, engagement quality and past performance, not follower counts. Smaller creators with the right audience often outperform big names.

How do you track results?

Every creator gets a tracked link or code on your affiliate network, so sales are attributed to the creator who drove them.

Can we use the content in our ads?

Yes, with the right usage rights, which we negotiate in the contract. Whitelisting and Spark Ads let you run it from the creator’s own handle.
