Brand FAQs

What is Forefront?

Forefront is the 1st creator & content marketplace for Black-owned commerce brands. We make it easy for brands to access high-quality UGC from creators representing their brand’s culture & audience. Content brands receive on Forefront can be used on social media, promotional ads, company websites, etc.

What is UGC & why should brands use it?

UGC stands for user-generated content and is any form of content - images, video, testimonials, & reviews - created by users and customers instead of the brand itself. UGC is great for building trust, authenticity, & social proof with your audience and can be repurposed for many different occasions.

What type of partnerships does Forefront offer?

Forefront is currently offering gifted collaborations. This allows creators to receive free products in exchange for  UGC content. We plan to offer paid collaborations so creators can get paid for the UGC they publish. 

How does Forefront vet creators?

Forefront vets creators in 3 ways to ensure we accept the best creators to produce high-quality content for brands. 

‍Application Process: All creators must complete a Forefront Creator application and get approved before they can start applying for campaigns. This allows us to gather basic information and ensure they’re suitable to join.

‍Partnership Portfolio: Each creator must upload a link to their portfolio/media kit with work samples from previous projects. This allows us to assess the quality, style, and consistency of the creator's content. Brands can view a creator’s portfolio via the creator’s profile.

‍Rating System: Each brand will be able to rate a creator after they complete a campaign for them. Creators will be rated on their ability to meet deadlines, follow campaign guidelines/requests, and on their content quality. Any negative ratings will affect future partnerships and possibly membership within Forefront’s creator marketplace.

What happens if a creator doesn’t produce content?

All creators must publish content within 14 days of receiving their products. If a creator doesn’t publish the agreed-upon content on time or at all, they risk being removed from our creator platform.

After each partnership, all brands and creators will get to rate their collab experience to ensure Forefront is offering the best experience for all of its users. These ratings can affect future partnerships.

Do brands receive usage right?

Brands can request 100% usage rights in their campaigns. As creators apply and accept the partnership, they will agree to share any content with the brand to use and distribute as desired.

How much does it cost for brands to join Forefront?

Forefront is only $29.99 for brands. This subscription includes unlimited campaigns, unlimited collaborations, and monthly influencer recommendations. We will also manage all collaborations to ensure all creators receive products and post within the timeline.
