How the work moves
FROM DECISION
TO DELIVERY.

Assess creator or partner relevance, working fit and the credibility of the shared idea.

Produce
Coordinate the approved creative, partner feedback and delivery timeline.
Review

Campaign planning details
Product seeding and ambassadors
Match products to relevant creators and confirm shipping details. Distinguish a gift with no posting obligation from a paid publication agreement. For ambassadors, agree the term, recurring deliverables, exclusivity and review points.
Sponsorship programmes
Match the creator, event or media opportunity to the campaign objective. Define fees, deliverables, usage rights and approval stages. Agree how delivery and audience response will be measured before confirming the partnership.
Earned-media extensions
Where media outreach forms part of the agreed scope, define the campaign story, approved assets, target publications and responsible team. Track actual coverage. An outreach plan is not a guarantee of publication or audience reach.
Frequently asked questions
CLEAR ANSWERS
BEFORE THE BRIEF.
01How is a brand collaboration different from an influencer campaign?+
A collaboration usually involves shared creation, distribution or ownership between partners. An influencer campaign may use a more defined set of creator deliverables for one brand.
02What is the difference between sponsorship and collaboration?+
A sponsorship exchanges support for agreed visibility or access. A collaboration usually gives each partner an active role in creating or distributing the work.
03Can TCE manage a co-branded campaign?+
Yes. TCE can coordinate the shared brief, creator role, content, approvals, distribution and reporting within the agreed scope.
04What does content whitelisting mean?+
Whitelisting allows approved paid distribution through a creator or partner identity. Access, duration, territories and usage rights must be agreed before activation.
05How does TCE assess partner fit?+
TCE reviews audience relevance, category credibility, brand alignment, working standards and the role each partner can credibly play.
06Who owns the content from a collaboration?+
Ownership and usage rights depend on the agreement. TCE records the approved channels, territories, periods and paid usage terms before distribution.
