What can you do with a content buyout?
A content buyout allows you to fully acquire the rights to the content created by influencers, enabling you to use it flexibly for various marketing purposes. This gives you access to high-quality influencer content that can be repurposed for your own channels and promotional activities.
Here are some ways you can use the purchased content:
Own Social Media Channels: Post the content on your Instagram, TikTok, or LinkedIn accounts to engage your community with authentic material.
Website & Landing Pages: Integrate the content on your website or in your online store.
Performance Marketing (Ads): Use the content for Instagram, TikTok, or Meta ads to achieve better advertising results with authentic creatives.
Newsletter & Email Marketing: Include the content in your mailings or newsletters.
How does a content buyout work?
With a content buyout, you purchase the content from the influencer and gain the rights to use it for your own marketing purposes. In your reporting, under each content piece, you'll find the "Use a Buyout" button, where you can redeem a content buyout. Depending on your plan, you will have a certain number of content buyouts included. If you've used up all your buyouts, you can purchase additional ones through our platform.
Note: Content buyouts are available only for Instagram and TikTok campaigns, as you directly pay creators for UGC campaigns when you receive their video.

Partnership / Spark Ads
With Partnership / Spark Ads, influencer content is promoted as an ad directly through their profiles. These ads blend seamlessly into the app experience and score points for authenticity. The content rights remain with the influencer. However, you have the right to run ads with their content for up to one year.
You do not need a Content Buyout to use content for Partnership/Spark Ads.
Note: Influencers are required to keep their content visible in their feed for at least 3 months (Refluenced T&Cs). Therefore, it may happen that they only grant you ad rights for this 3-month period.
