For brands

Creator posts as ads,under the creator's name.

With Partnership Ads on Meta and Spark Ads on TikTok, good creator posts also reach people who do not follow the creator. We organize the creators' approval and settle the rights; you plan the media budget separately.

What Paid Amplification means

Paid Amplification means that a post a creator has published is also delivered as a paid ad. The ad appears with the creator's name and profile picture; you only pay for the delivery.

The advantage over a normal brand ad: the post comes across as a recommendation from a person, not as advertising from a company. Using the platform's targeting settings, you can show it exactly where your customers are, including outside the creator's community.

Partnership Ads and Spark Ads compared

Partnership Ads on Meta

Partnership Ads run on Instagram and Facebook. The ad shows the creator and your brand together in the header of the post. To do this, the creator grants your ad account permission in the app to use their post or their name in ads.

Spark Ads on TikTok

Spark Ads deliver an existing TikTok video as an ad. Likes, comments and followers generated by the ad go to the original video. The creator generates an authorization code in the app, which allows your ad account to use the video for a set period.

When Paid Amplification pays off

  • a post has performed above average organically and should reach more people
  • you want to reach a specific audience by age, region or interests
  • you need predictable reach within a fixed period, for example for a product launch
  • you want to test whether a creator post performs better as an ad than your existing ads
  • the campaign should contribute measurably to clicks or sales

How the creator gives approval

  1. 01

    Rights in the contract

    Before the campaign, we agree with the creator that posts may be used as ads, including platform, duration and fee.

  2. 02

    Approval in the app

    On Meta the creator grants permission for Partnership Ads; on TikTok they generate the authorization code for Spark Ads.

  3. 03

    Link to your ad account

    The approval is connected to your ad account. From then on, the post can be set up as an ad.

  4. 04

    Delivery and end

    The ad runs during the agreed period. After that the permission ends, and the ad is stopped or the use is agreed anew.

What Paid Amplification costs

Usage right for adssurcharge of 20 to 50% on the creator fee
Media budgetseparate, spent directly with the platform on delivery
Agency fee20% on creator fees, at least $500 per campaign

According to an analysis by Business Punk from April 2026, a TikTok video from a creator with 10,000 to 50,000 followers costs $200 to $800, or $400 to $1,200 including the right to use it for Spark Ads. All prices are net, plus statutory VAT.

Disclosure is still required

Even as an ad, a creator post must be recognizable as advertising. The platforms label the delivery as an ad, and the post itself should also be labeled like any campaign post. We make sure this is right in the original post.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are Partnership Ads?

Partnership Ads are ads on Instagram and Facebook that run jointly under the name of a creator and a brand. The creator grants the brand's ad account permission for this in the app.

What are Spark Ads on TikTok?

Spark Ads deliver an existing TikTok video by a creator as an ad. Interactions from the ad count toward the original video. The creator releases the video for a set period using an authorization code.

Is the media budget included in the campaign price?

No. You plan the media budget for delivery separately. The campaign price covers the creator fees, the surcharge for usage rights and the agency fee.

What does the right to use a creator post as an ad cost?

At FNLY Agency, a surcharge of 20 to 50% is added to the creator fee. The amount depends on the platform, duration and territory of use.

When are Partnership Ads or Spark Ads worthwhile?

Above all when a post has performed well organically and should reach more people, or when you want to address a specific audience within a fixed period. As ads, creator posts often feel more personal than conventional brand ads.

Does the creator have to approve every ad?

Yes. Without the creator's approval in the app, their post cannot run as a Partnership Ad or Spark Ad. That is why we agree the use in the contract before the campaign.
