01

Creator Growth Engine

Monthly Retainer

The flagship. For brands that need ongoing creator infrastructure — not one campaign, but a system that runs every month.

A monthly operating system for creator-led brand growth. We source, activate, and manage a rotating network of nano and micro creators every cycle — producing UGC, managing relationships, running Spark Ads on top performers, and reporting on KPIs every week. This is not a retainer for strategy. It is a retainer for execution.

What's Included

  • → Creator sourcing, vetting & relationship management — ongoing
  • → 20–50 creator activations per cycle (nano & micro)
  • → UGC production direction & content review
  • → TikTok Shop affiliate setup & management (where applicable)
  • → Spark Ads management on top-performing organic content
  • → Creative testing: hooks, formats, audiences
  • → Whitelisting-ready asset production
  • → Weekly performance dashboard: views, engagement, conversions, ROAS

Best for: Lifestyle, beauty, food, fashion, and consumer tech brands that need sustained creator presence — not a launch, a system.

02

Market Entry Campaign

Project-Based

For: Brands launching in a Western market for the first time — or relaunching with sharper positioning.

A defined campaign with a defined outcome: your brand, known in a new market. We run the strategy, the creator activation, and the paid amplification — across 8–12 weeks — and hand you a content library, a creator network, and documented performance data you own.

What's Included

  • → Cultural positioning audit & Western narrative development
  • → Creator landscape analysis & shortlist
  • → Creator sourcing, briefing & campaign management
  • → Product seeding & content production (20–50 creators)
  • → Hook strategy & content angle mapping
  • → Paid media amplification (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube)
  • → End-of-campaign performance report & next-phase recommendations

Best for: Beauty, food, lifestyle, fashion, and entertainment brands entering US, UK, or EU for the first time — or relaunching with new positioning.

03

Creative Production

Production Infrastructure

For: Brands with content, footage, or creator output that needs to be formatted, cut, and scaled for Western platforms.

The execution layer. Short-form editing, ad creative assembly, platform-ready formatting — at scale and speed. Built to feed the Creator Growth Engine or run standalone for brands with existing content pipelines.

What's Included

  • → Short-form UGC editing & assembly
  • → Hook-first ad creative production for TikTok, Meta, YouTube
  • → Creator footage refinement into on-brand deliverables
  • → Platform-specific formatting (aspect ratios, captions, subtitles)
  • → Fast turnaround: 48–72 hour standard output cycles

Best for: Brands with existing creator content or footage that needs platform-native editing and rapid output — whether feeding a paid campaign or organic distribution.

Special Projects

Selective engagements for specific needs.

The following services exist for clients where the fit is clear and the work is defined. They are not promoted as standard offerings — and not every inquiry is accepted.

Podcast & B2B Visibility

Podcast strategy, launch, and distribution for executives and brands building authority in Western B2B markets. LinkedIn amplification included.

Executive Personal Branding

Content infrastructure for Asia-based founders and executives building Western credibility — LinkedIn, thought leadership, investor narrative.

Investor Positioning & Capital Strategy

Pre-raise narrative development, pitch positioning, and content infrastructure for consumer tech founders raising from Western investors.

Common Questions

What is the Creator Growth Engine?

The Creator Growth Engine is a monthly retainer service that builds and runs a creator-led growth system for consumer brands. Every cycle, we source and activate 20–50 nano and micro creators, manage UGC production, run Spark Ads on top-performing content, and deliver a weekly performance dashboard. It is designed as ongoing operating infrastructure — not a campaign.

What is a Market Entry Campaign?

A Market Entry Campaign is a project-based engagement for brands launching in a new market for the first time — or relaunching with new positioning. It runs 8–12 weeks, covering cultural positioning strategy, creator sourcing and activation (20–50 creators), paid media amplification, and a final performance report with documented results and a creator network the brand retains.

How many creators does Slow Oak activate per campaign?

Slow Oak typically activates 20–50 nano and micro creators per campaign cycle. The exact number depends on budget, category, and goals. For TikTok Shop affiliate programmes, we seed to networks of 30–100 creators on a commission-only basis. We prioritise creator quality, audience alignment, and comment sentiment authenticity over volume.

Does Slow Oak work with brands outside of Asia?

Yes. While East ↔ West cultural fluency is a core differentiator, the Creator Growth Engine and Market Entry Campaign services are open to any modern consumer brand looking to build creator-led growth infrastructure. Our creator network, operational system, and paid amplification expertise apply regardless of brand origin.
