01Can an international brand hire TGA for U.S. growth?+
Yes. We work with U.S. consumer brands and international teams entering U.S. markets. The scope can start with research and market prioritization, then move into creator partnerships, content adapted to the audience, distribution, and reporting. Your U.S. product availability, approved claims, and route to purchase shape the work. MCN adds regional depth when the Midwest fits the plan.
02How is a quarterly partnership billed?+
The quarterly agency investment is split into two payments: half at signing or the start of the term, and half halfway through the quarter, as set out in your agreement. Creator compensation, media, licensing, and other outside costs are separately budgeted unless expressly included. After the initial 90 days, an annual engagement may be agreed with quarterly billing; continuation is not automatic.
03How does a quarterly agency partnership work?+
We agree on the quarter’s business priorities, deliverables, channels, responsibilities, and investment in a written scope. Kickoff establishes access, a baseline, and approval owners. Delivery updates keep work moving, monthly reporting shows progress, and the quarterly review sets the next priorities. Any continuation or annual agreement is agreed together; it is not automatic.
04How do you scope the investment?+
We look at the research, strategy, creative, creator management, channels, and delivery support the brief needs. Your proposal separates the agency work from creator compensation, media spend, licensed usage, travel, and external production where applicable. We confirm creator deliverables and rights before committing that spend, and agree any scope changes with you.
05What do we actually hire you to do?+
We can own the campaign from consumer and market research through strategy, creator partnerships, content production, distribution, and reporting. The proposal names the deliverables, decision owners, channels, timeline, and measures of success so your team knows exactly what we are running.
06Can you help with a new product or retail launch?+
Yes. We map the audience and retail footprint, identify the markets worth testing first, build creator stories around the product and buying occasion, and plan where those stories send people. We can begin in one Midwest market or coordinate a wider launch; the brief determines the geography.
07Is this just influencer posting?+
No. Some engagements call for creator publishing; others need licensed content, paid creative, social and search distribution, or an ongoing marketing partner. We decide what role creators should play after we understand the customer decision and the commercial goal.
08What does the agency partnership include?+
The agreed scope can cover research, strategy, creative direction, creator casting and management, production coordination, distribution, and reporting. Your proposal spells out the work, responsibilities, and any creator, media, production, travel, or licensing costs separately. We don’t assume a fixed creator count.
09What will our team own at the end?+
You receive the agreed research, strategy, approved deliverables, and reporting. Your brand retains its ad accounts and first-party customer data. Ownership and handover of agency-created work are defined in your agreement. Creator footage, edits, paid usage, term, territory, and any source files are governed by the rights we negotiate and spell out in the scope and creator agreements; they are not automatically unlimited.
10How long does a partnership run?+
A focused test is commonly scoped over 90 days so there is time to plan, launch, and learn. Launch projects and ongoing partnerships follow the calendar and business goal. We agree on milestones, approvals, and reporting before work starts.
11Can we use creator content in paid ads?+
Yes, when the campaign includes the right usage rights and approvals. We specify placements, term, edits, and licensing in the creator agreements before production, then prepare suitable assets for the paid channels in scope.
12How do you report revenue and ROI?+
We agree on the source of truth at the start. Platform clicks, GA4 site purchases, promo-code activity, bookings, and retail data each answer different questions. We report the available measures with their dates and limits, and calculate acquisition cost or return only when spend, customer counts, and attribution support it.
13What happens in the discovery session?+
Bring the product or offer, market, launch window, and the number the campaign needs to move. We will discuss the audience, budget range, what your team already owns, and whether a test or broader partnership makes sense. You can also email the brief directly.
