TERMS OF USE
HOUSE RULES
At Talent Village, we put the stress on authenticity and we have the end consumer’s best interests at heart. It is vital for us that the models already love and appreciate the brands they promote. It is also important that the brands ask for realistic posts that rightly reflect the product and don’t include anything that could be misleading to consumers.
​
All posts must be in compliance with the British ASA (Advertising Standards Agency) and CAP (Committee of Advertising Practice).
BRANDS
Reactivity. Please try and be as reactive as the models that are submitting their posts. If you are unable to accept post submissions as they come in live, remember to leave a note to the model in the dialog box to let her know you will get back to her.
​
Open-mindedness. Please appreciate the effort the models put into their posts proposals. Suggest edits wherever possible and try not to systematically decline.
​
Sharing and Re-using content. You can share a model’s post on the same social media platform it was posted on. However you cannot use the content in other marketing material.
MODELS
Reactivity. Remember other models may also love the brand you are suggesting posts to. The quicker you are in getting back with a post suggestion, the more likely you are to get your post accepted.
Authenticity. Please keep in mind we want you to already love the brand you are posting about. If you wouldn’t recommend it to your circle for free, don’t recommend it on your socials for earnings. If so, pick another great brand you are confident about from the campaigns section of the app.
Transparency. If you really want to promote a brand you don’t know well or you feel your followers won’t recognise it’s a sponsored post, we recommend you add a hashtag (#spon, #ad) into your caption.
Creativity. We want you to let your creative side run freely, however please stay within the brand’s guidelines and respect the Do & Don’ts. All imagery submitted must be owned and captured by you.
Keep it live. We require that you leave the post on your page for 30 days and you don’t make another post within the 5 hours of publishing the post for the brand.
​
Keep it real. If we notice your follower base is not genuine or that you have not grown your followers authentically, we reserve the right to remove you from our platform. At Talent Village, we want everything to be real!
TERMS OF USE
INTRODUCTION
Talent Village is an influencer platform that connects brands and fashion models. The models chose the brands they want to recommend by selecting one they love amongst hundreds of campaigns on the app (“Model Users”). The Brands (“Brand Users”) can create a campaign through the dashboard, set their budget and then approve post proposals made by models before they are posted to social media (“Brand Users”). If their post is approved, models then get paid for it by the Brand User. Our service fee is taken from the Model users and the Brand Users.
