Here's Exactly What Happens After You Contact Us
No Guesswork, No Black Box
A lot of hesitation around hiring an agency comes from not knowing what happens after you sign up. So here's the actual process, in order, with no steps skipped.
From First Message to Agreed Rates
Inquiry
You fill out the contact form, message us on WhatsApp, or email hello@aufstro.com with what you're looking for. We respond directly — no automated sales sequence.
Discovery
We study your brand: what you sell, who you're trying to reach, and what a successful campaign would actually look like for you. This is also where we understand your goals in your own words, not ours.
Strategy & Budget
Based on discovery, we finalize the payment structure and build a concrete campaign concept — creator mix, platform focus, content formats, and budget. We pitch this back to you before anything moves forward.
Creator Selection & Sourcing
Once the campaign scope and budget are agreed, we begin sourcing creators from our network of 200+ across nano, micro, macro, and mega tiers — filtered specifically for audience overlap with your target customer, not just category or follower count.
Creator Pitching & Negotiation
We pitch the campaign to shortlisted creators, collect their rates, and negotiate pricing on your behalf. This is a two-sided conversation — our goal is pricing that's fair to the creator and efficient for your budget.
From Signed Contracts to Real Results
Deliverables, Contracts & Timeline
Once rates are agreed, we lock in deliverables, timelines, and usage rights, and issue contracts to every creator involved. This is also when we collect the upfront portion of campaign funds used to pay creators as work is delivered.
Content Production & Delivery
Creators produce content according to the brief and timeline. As it comes in, we review it internally first, then route it to you for approval where your sign-off is part of the agreement — otherwise we handle review and confirm it directly.
Monitoring & Reporting
Once all creators have posted their deliverables, we monitor performance and compile a report covering engagement, reach, views, likes, and the specific KPIs tied to your original campaign goal.
Optimization
We walk through what worked, what didn't, and what we'd adjust for next time — useful whether or not you run another campaign with us immediately.
Long-Term Partnership
For brands that want to continue, we help structure ongoing relationships with the creators who performed best, moving from single campaigns into consistent, recognizable brand presence.
How Long Does This Take?
Most campaigns run 2–3 weeks from creator sourcing to content going live, depending on creator availability and content complexity. Larger-scope campaigns — more creators, more platforms, more deliverables — take longer, and we'll give you a realistic timeline once the scope is set, not a generic estimate upfront.
What We Need From You
The faster discovery moves, the faster everything after it moves. Helpful to have ready: your target audience, campaign goal, rough budget range, and any brand guidelines or past creative you'd want creators to reference.
