Questions we get a lot

What brands ask us.

Is this an affiliate or referral program?
No. Newcollab runs on gifted UGC content swaps only. No commission tracking, no revshare, no attribution. Brand ships gifted product to creator, creator delivers organic + UGC with 6-month commercial usage. That's it.
Can I reuse the content in ads?
Yes. You get 6-month commercial usage from delivery. Run the videos as paid ads on Meta or TikTok, and on your own channels. Creators keep ownership. No exclusivity, no royalties during the term.
What is the branded roster?
A private page under your brand name. Vetted UGC creators fill it automatically. You select who to gift, lock the list, export a shipping CSV, and collect content in the same link. No login for your team. No hunting profiles yourself.
What if the creators aren't the right fit?
Skip anyone before you lock. After you subscribe, we refill the roster when someone is not a fit so you are not stuck searching Instagram or negotiating replacements by email.
Are terms already agreed?
Yes. Creators accept gifted PR terms and 6-month UGC usage when they apply. You are not chasing contracts or usage paperwork after you pick them.
How does the free first campaign work?
You get 5 vetted creators + 5-10 UGC videos delivered with no platform fee. Your only cost is your PR package and shipping. If the content lands, you opt in to $299/mo from month 2. No auto-billing. If it doesn't work, no obligation. You still keep 6-month commercial reuse on what was delivered.
What kind of brands work with Newcollab?
DTC brands running paid social. Most of our brand partners are in beauty, skincare, wellness, fashion, fitness, and lifestyle. Sweet spot: brands with $500K-$10M revenue running Meta or TikTok ads and looking to fill their creative library with authentic UGC.
Can creators post on their own accounts too?
Some do when it fits their content plan. Organic posts are a bonus, not a guarantee at this tier. If you specifically need guaranteed distribution on creator accounts, we offer that as a paid supplement ($75/creator).
Do you have creators in [specific niche]?
Our core pool skews beauty and skincare. For niches outside that (fitness, men's grooming, food, home), we hand-source creators from TikTok and Instagram to match your brief. Sourcing adds 3-5 days to campaign timeline.
How do I cancel?
Reply to any Newcollab email or email team@newcollab.co with "cancel." Your subscription stops immediately, no last month charge, no questions. Commercial reuse already granted on delivered content continues for its 6-month term.
