Welcome
SECTION 01

You're In.
Here's What That Means.

We're a creator marketing agency that runs organic short-form content campaigns for consumer apps on TikTok and Instagram. You were selected because we think your content style is a great fit — and we want to build something long-term together.

What Makes Us Different
We built this agency because we know what it feels like to be a creator with no clear direction and inconsistent pay. We're doing it differently here.
How It Works
SECTION 02

Campaign Basics.

Here's how campaigns work from start to finish so you know exactly what to expect.

The Cadence
Batch your filming on upload days — shoot a few videos at once instead of scrambling every day.
Getting Set Up
  1. Create your TikTok account — format: firstname.[campaignname]
  2. Send your account link in the campaign Slack channel
  3. Let your account warm up for a few days before your first post
  4. Once your FYP is active, send a 15+ second screen recording showing at least 5 videos
  5. Read your campaign playbook before posting anything
If you've hit the max number of TikTok accounts on your device, delete the oldest campaign account you're no longer using. DM us if you need help.

The Lead Role

As The 411 grows, our creators grow with us. More clients create more campaign opportunities, stronger portfolios, and more ways for reliable creators to earn.

Expectations
SECTION 04

Communication
& Conduct.

We run a tight ship but a supportive one. Here's what we ask.

How We Expect You to Show Up
✕ Not This
Going quiet, missing uploads, and not saying anything until someone follows up.
✓ This
"Hey, I'm a little behind this week — can I get an extension? I'll have everything in by tomorrow morning."
The formula: something came uphere's what I'm doing about ithere's when I'll have it done
