social Run creator partnerships as a system, scout micro-creators, seed product, collect UGC, whitelist the best posts as paid ads, and manage affiliates on tiered commissions that reward performance.
The objective
The cheapest paid social you'll ever run is creator content you didn't pay to produce, seed product into the right hands, let authentic posts generate UGC, then whitelist the best of it as ads. Performance-based deals pay for themselves; gifting is the manufacturing cost.
Gifted product is the creative budget. Seed micro-creators (5k–50k, >2% engagement), collect UGC from the ones who post, whitelist the best organic content as 
Meta Partnership Ads, and pay affiliates on tiered commissions that reward volume. Not doing: one-off paid posts with macros or flat-fee influencer campaigns that skip the performance loop.
Cycle & hand-offs: Scout & vet creators runs monthly and starts the cycle. Hand-offs: Scout & vet creators → Seed product & onboard affiliates: straight away; Seed product & onboard affiliates → Collect & grade UGC: once the seeded creators have posted content (UGC has landed); Collect & grade UGC → Whitelist as Partnership Ads: straight away. Runs on its own rhythm: Manage affiliates & payouts (weekly (Mon)); Analyse & sharpen (monthly). Any other link waits for a person. Sign-off steps stay with a person; everything else can run on its own once armed.

Growth Division The small, hard-won details that decide whether it works, from every run.
Partnership Ads work because the creator's face and handle signals social proof before the viewer reads a word. The algorithm also favours content that already has organic engagement signals baked in.
Gifted seeding is a creative supply chain, not just PR. The 45% post rate on micro-creators means every £280 in product seeded returns roughly one paid-ready creative asset. Track it that way.
Flat commissions create no reason to push after the first post. The visible progress bar to the next tier is the activation mechanic, affiliates at 8 sales know they're 2 away from a 5% bump. That psychology does more than a rate increase alone.
