The ads you are running now

Answer for how things are today. Runs in your browser. Nothing is sent.

Music

For every ad running now, is the music licensed for paid use, not only for organic posts?

Do you know which ads use music the creator added rather than your team?

Is the music licence recorded against each ad file?

Usage windows

Do you know the date each creator's usage window ends?

Is every ad you are running still inside its creator's usage window today?

Does someone get a reminder before a usage window ends?

Does each licence cover every platform the ad runs on?

Whitelisting

For every ad run under a creator's handle, do you have written whitelisting permission?

Does that permission cover the whole period the ad is running?

Do you know how access to a creator's handle ends when the permission does?

Footage and records

Does each licence say whether it is organic only, paid social, whitelisting or full buyout?

Do you know whether the footage in your ads has also been licensed to other brands?

Does each licence cover the edits and cut-downs you have made from the clip?

Is a signed licence stored with every ad file you run?

Do you know who handles it if a creator disputes the rights to an ad?

Answer the questions to see your score. It updates as you go.

Method: yes scores a question in full, partly scores half and no scores nothing. Each is weighted from one to three by how directly a gap affects your right to keep running the ad, and the score is the weighted share, as a percentage. Unanswered questions are left out.

Creator footage, cleared to run

A clip marketplace with standard terms, so licensing a clip is a checkout rather than a negotiation.

  • Usage tiers with defined terms

    Organic only, paid social, whitelisting under the creator's handle, or full buyout, each for a defined term.

  • Browse by what performs

    Search by product category, style and performance signals.

  • One checkout

    License clips in one checkout and receive each file with a signed licence attached.

  • Standard contracts, escrowed

    Contracts are standardised, and payment is held in escrow.

  • A takedown process

    If rights to a clip are disputed, there is a takedown process.

  • Free Ad Rights Checker

    Check the creative you already run for unlicensed music, expired usage windows, footage used by multiple brands and missing whitelisting permission.

The problem

Brands need a constant supply of authentic, creator-style video to run as ads, in many variants.

Sourcing each clip means negotiating individually with a creator over rights, usage windows, whitelisting and payment, with legal review each time. Meanwhile creators have libraries of good footage earning nothing after its first post.

Who it is for

  • Performance marketers

    Marketers and creative teams at DTC and app companies who need a constant supply of authentic short-form ad creative.

  • Creators

    Creators with footage that performs, sitting in a library and earning nothing after its first post.

Questions people actually ask

What usage can I license?

Organic only, paid social, whitelisting under the creator's handle, or full buyout, each with a defined term.

What do I receive?

The file, with a signed licence attached.

How is payment handled?

Payment is held in escrow, under standardised contracts.

What if the rights to a clip are disputed?

There is a takedown process for disputed rights.

What does the Ad Rights Checker look for?

Music not licensed for paid use, a creator whose usage window has expired, footage appearing under multiple brands, and missing whitelisting permission. The check is free.

What does it cost brands?

A 20 percent take rate on licences, charged to the brand. Clip prices depend on the usage tier, typically 150 to 900 dollars.

Is there a plan for creators?

Yes. A creator subscription at 15 dollars a month adds a portfolio page and analytics.

Why should I trust the ad rights check?

The score comes from your own answers, in your browser. It does not look at your ads and is not a legal opinion. The free Ad Rights Checker reviews the creative you upload for unlicensed music, expired usage windows, shared footage and missing whitelisting permission.

Pricing

The rights check is free. Brands pay a take rate on licences, and creators can add a portfolio subscription.
