Creator Partnership Standards

How the work is handled

Clear decisions behind the finished content help brand teams protect the campaign, the audience, and the creative idea.

The working standard

Six decisions that shape a responsible partnership

Each decision creates a clear checkpoint before content reaches the audience.

Brand fit

Every opportunity starts with the product, audience, requested message, timing, and intended distribution. A credible role inside RV’s established subjects matters more than a forced placement.

Review partnership fit

Clear disclosure

Paid partnerships, gifted products, affiliate relationships, and other material connections need noticeable language that fits the platform and format.

Read FTC disclosure guidance

Supported claims

Campaign claims should come from approved, current source material. Personal experience stays truthful. Unsupported or overstated language requires revision before publication.

Review the FTC Endorsement Guides

Privacy and suitability

Production planning accounts for identifiable bystanders, private locations, confidential information, copyrighted material, product handling, and the likely audience.

Read the public filming standard

Focused review

The brief identifies required claims, disclosure language, decision-makers, approval stages, and publication timing. Consolidated feedback stays connected to the campaign goal.

Read the feedback approach

Specific rights and response

Organic reposting, paid media, whitelisting, raw footage, editing, exclusivity, and licensing stay separate. Campaign concerns receive a documented, issue-specific response.

Urgent legal, safety, privacy, or factual concerns take priority.

Published evidence

Standards visible in finished work

Selected case studies show disclosure, revision, approval, and distribution decisions in context.

Revision and approval

Ray-Ban Meta: Screen-Free Hike

A revised visual treatment preserved the humor, earned written approval, and prepared the work for planned organic and paid distribution.

Disclosure and integration

Crest at Costco: Limited-Time Offer

Product integration, visible sponsorship, campaign feedback, and audience response appear together in the public record.

Case studies use approved public evidence. Confidential terms, private correspondence, rates, and unpublished client material remain private.

Start with clarity

A useful first brief

A productive first conversation covers the creative opportunity and the operating details.

Creative context

  • Product, service, event, or idea
  • Audience and campaign goal
  • Required claims and source material
  • Deliverables, platforms, and timing
  • Working budget

Operating details

  • Disclosure requirements
  • Reviewers and approval stages
  • Organic, paid, licensed, or whitelisted usage
  • Exclusivity needs
  • Safety, privacy, location, or category constraints

Bring the brief or the early idea.

Project-specific review remains essential for category, platform, contractual, and real-world risks.
