Question 1

Can creators under 50K get brand deals on BrandGrowAgency?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our primary creator ICP is Instagram talent roughly 1K–50K with a clear niche. Brands hire nano and micro creators for Reels, UGC ads, and always-on programs — follower count alone is not the filter.

Question 2

How do I hire influencers in India with you?

Accepted Answer

Share a brief (offer, cities, Instagram vs UGC, budget band). We return a nano/micro shortlist, lock deliverables and usage rights, run ASCI-safe disclosure, and report with UTMs/codes — typically live in 7–10 days for starter activations.

Question 3

How much does influencer marketing cost in India?

Accepted Answer

Scope depends on creator tier, deliverables, platforms, and usage rights (organic vs paid ads). Nano volume and UGC packs are usually the efficient start; macro/celebrity is for fame jobs. Request a quote for a scoped proposal.

Question 4

UGC or influencer posts — which should my brand buy?

Accepted Answer

Influencer posts rent trust on a creator’s feed. UGC is creative built for your ads. Most Indian D2C teams need both: nano/micro for social proof, UGC packs for Meta testing. We brief and license both on one campaign.

Question 5

Do you help with ASCI disclosure on paid Reels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Briefs include Paid partnership / #ad expectations on-screen and in caption. Creators and brands share responsibility — we won’t greenlight “make it look organic” asks that hide advertising.
