Fintech app creator campaign brief template
Finance is where a missing disclosure line turns into a lawsuit: a 2026 suit against Polymarket alleges paid clips posted from accounts made to look like ordinary users. Clipping marketplaces also "skew crypto and gambling", so brand safety and claims rules matter more here than anywhere.
Why this brief is written this way
The Polymarket suit (filed 2026-06-26) alleges a paid clipping scheme using fake "ordinary user" accounts. These are allegations, not findings.

Creators "can’t make up claims about a product that would require proof the advertiser doesn’t have", so earnings and return claims are banned outright.

The brief
Replace the [bracketed] parts with your own details. The starter rate, budget, cap and keep-live period are suggestions; change them to suit you.
[App] — creator walkthrough videos Film your own 20–45 second vertical walkthrough of one feature of [App] you actually used. Show the app screen within the first 3 seconds. No earnings, returns or "get rich" claims of any kind. Call to action: say and show "link in bio" and put [your tracked signup link] in your bio. Campaign rules (every clip must follow these): - Pay: $1.00 per 1,000 verified views. Total budget $300. - Where and how: post on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts. Vertical 9:16, 20–60 seconds. - Disclosure: every post must say it is paid. Turn on the platform's paid-partnership / branded-content label AND write #ad (or "Paid partnership with [brand]") in the caption or on screen. Don't present yourself as an unpaid fan or customer. - Music: use original audio or a track from the platform's Commercial Music Library / business sound library only. No trending or label-owned songs, even if the app lets you add them. - No watermarks: no personal watermark, handle overlay or editing-app logo on the video. Clips with a watermark are rejected and not paid. - Originality: film your own new video for this campaign. No re-using old videos, other creators' content, or the same video across several accounts. - Keep it live: each paid post must stay public for at least 60 days after it is paid. Posts deleted, archived or made private before then break the campaign rules. - Real views only: don't buy views, likes, comments or followers, use bots or engagement pods, or post from fake accounts. Only verified views are paid — views are verified before payout through several checks on a fixed schedule. - Audience: we are paying to reach viewers in [your target countries]. Post in English, and post from an account whose audience is mainly in those countries. - Cap: one creator can earn at most $50 per clip in this campaign, so the budget reaches more creators. - Brand safety: no hateful, sexual, violent, political or shock content, and don't post this campaign on accounts that publish that kind of content. - Rejected and not paid: clips that break any rule above, use the wrong source, or are low quality (blurry, cut-off audio, wrong aspect ratio).

Frequently asked questions
Can creators talk about money they made with a finance app?
Not in this brief. The FTC says creators can’t make claims that would need proof the advertiser doesn’t have, so earnings and return claims are banned.
Do fintech creator videos need #ad?
Yes. Any paid relationship must be disclosed, and the FTC warns a platform’s disclosure tool alone may not be enough.
