CreatorChahiye — Influencer Marketing Agency for Startups & D2C Brands in India

Q: Do you work with formal agreements?

Yes — every CreatorChahiye campaign runs on a clear written agreement covering deliverables, timelines, payments and usage rights. It protects the brand's budget and the creator's payment alike.

Q: Do you work with small or new brands?

Yes — startups and early D2C brands are exactly who we are built for.

What we do

One team. The whole campaign.

Most brands lose weeks finding creators, negotiating rates and chasing deliverables. We take all of it off your plate.

Creator discovery

We shortlist creators whose audience actually matches your customer — by niche, city, engagement quality and content style, not vanity follower counts.

Outreach & negotiation

We contact creators, negotiate fair rates and lock deliverables, timelines and usage rights in writing before anything goes live.

Campaign strategy

Clear briefs, content angles and posting plans built around one goal — the result you want, whether that's awareness, installs or sales.

Campaign management

Scripts reviewed, drafts approved, posts tracked. You get one point of contact instead of twenty creator conversations.

UGC & product seeding

Authentic content for your ads and pages, plus product seeding programs that turn creators into genuine, long-term advocates.

Reporting

A plain-language report after every campaign: reach, engagement, clicks and what we'd do differently next time. No inflated numbers.

Process

From first call to final report.

STEP 01

Discovery call

A free 30-minute call to understand your product, audience and budget. If influencer marketing isn't the right move for you yet, we'll say so.

STEP 02

Creator shortlist

Within days you get a curated shortlist — creators matched to your audience with rates, engagement data and past work, ready for your approval.

STEP 03

Campaign launch

We handle briefs, agreements, content approvals and posting schedules while you watch it happen from one shared tracker.

STEP 04

Report & repeat

You receive a clear performance report and a recommendation for what to scale. Good campaigns become long-term creator partnerships.

How we protect both sides

Handshakes are nice. Agreements are better.

Influencer marketing has a trust problem — brands worry about budgets, creators worry about payments. We solve it the simple way: everything in writing, for everyone, every time.

A written agreement, always

Every campaign runs on a clear, plain-language agreement — deliverables, timelines, payments and usage rights agreed before anything begins. No surprises on either side.

Brands: budgets protected

You see exactly what each creator is paid, approve every commitment, and know what you're getting before money moves.

Creators: payments protected

Agreed rates in writing and payments on time — because creators who are treated professionally make better content.

We also keep our commercials simple: a transparent management fee, plus a minimal one-time creator shortlisting fee per campaign — it covers the manual vetting that keeps our recommendations honest.

Questions

Answered honestly.

What budget do I need to start?

Meaningful micro-influencer campaigns in India can start from around ₹25,000–₹50,000 in creator fees. On the discovery call we'll tell you honestly what your budget can and cannot achieve — before you spend anything.

How do you choose creators?

We look at audience fit first: who actually follows the creator, how they engage, and whether they match your customer. Follower count comes last. We also check for fake engagement before shortlisting anyone.

What do you charge?

A transparent management fee on top of creator costs, plus a minimal one-time creator shortlisting fee per campaign — it covers the manual sourcing and authenticity vetting behind every list we recommend. You always see exactly what creators are paid. No hidden markups; exact pricing shared upfront.

Do you work with formal agreements?

Yes — and we consider it a feature, not paperwork. Every campaign runs on a clear written agreement covering deliverables, timelines, payments and content usage rights. Brands know their budget is protected; creators know their payment is. It keeps every collaboration professional and stress-free.

Do you work with small or new brands?

Yes — startups and early D2C brands are exactly who we're built for. Smaller budgets usually mean micro and nano creators, which often deliver better engagement per rupee anyway.

How fast can a campaign go live?

Typically 1–2 weeks from the discovery call to first post, depending on creator availability and how quickly content gets approved on your side.
