The Scout approach

Strategy upstream. Operations downstream.

Scout runs as a structured engagement, not a self-serve search box. Every phase is run by the CURE team, ends with your team in approval, and produces a paper trail you can defend in the room. Software handles the repeatable work in the middle so judgment lives where it should — with people.

Phase 01
01

Strategy intake (the MAP)

Before a single creator is sourced, we anchor on identity — who the brand is and where it's heading. New clients run a MAP sprint; existing CURE clients use the MAP they already have on file.

  • Purpose pillar, story pillars, audience strategy, voice guidelines, and avoid list
  • Stakeholder alignment with leadership, brand, legal, and any agency partners on the account
  • Defines the rubric every creator gets evaluated against — no shortlist before this is set
Phase 02
02

Sourcing & selection

We build the candidate pool from CURE's vetted roster, your existing list, and targeted outreach. Selection is multi-factor — never follower count alone.

  • Audience composition — who the creator actually reaches, not just how many
  • Voice and values alignment against the MAP (purpose, story pillars, avoid list)
  • Prior brand affiliations and brand-safety review
  • Software accelerates enrichment and side-by-side comparison; the CURE team makes the call
Phase 03
03

Stakeholder alignment

Brief the creator the right way, the first time. We translate the brand brief into creator-ready guidance and run the alignment passes that keep clients, agencies, and creator reps in lockstep.

  • Brand briefs rewritten in creator-usable language with clear non-negotiables
  • Legal, talent, and account team review on a single thread
  • First-draft outreach prepared in your brand voice — your team approves before send
  • Fewer revisions, faster approvals, no surprises in the room
Phase 04
04

Contracts & deliverables

We negotiate usage rights, exclusivity windows, and compliance — then run the production tracker that gets every asset shipped on spec and on schedule.

  • Usage rights, exclusivity, and compliance language negotiated against your needs
  • Production tracker with deliverable status, approvals, and due dates per creator
  • Performance reporting tied back to the original MAP-fit thesis
  • Long-term relationship management — preferred pricing and priority access on repeat work
What makes it different

We don't run influencer transactions. We build creator-led communities.

Multi-year engagements

Our relationships with creators span many years and multiple campaigns. Established partnerships secure preferred pricing, expanded deliverables, and priority access — efficiencies a one-off transaction can't match.

Maximum impact

Through our long-running influencer program — over seven years running — we average 16.3 impressions earned per $1 spent, significantly outperforming the 8–12 industry strong benchmark.

Community building

Our work has generated thousands of positive, brand-specific mentions across social — captured directly in audience comments. People aren't just seeing the content; they're recognizing and engaging with the brand.
