Do you have to supply the content

No. Creator Fleet makes the content itself, as part of every managed plan, rather than asking the brand to supply raw footage. Short video, user generated content, photo and carousel sets, captions and copy are all produced for you; your job is the brief and the sign-off, not the filming.

This is usually the question behind the question. Brand owners who have already tried a freelancer or a scheduler and watched posting slip again are not asking about price first, they are asking whether the next attempt will fail the same way: with somebody waiting on them for photos and clips they never had time to shoot.

A brief and a sign-off. Not footage, not photos, not a shot list.

The brief is short and written once: who the content is for, what it must never say, what good looks like to you, and how much you want each month. How to brief an agency that makes content covers exactly what goes in it. Once that exists, nothing further is asked of you to keep posts going out.

Everything that would otherwise sit on your desk: short video, user generated content, photo and carousel sets, captions and the copy underneath them.

Every managed plan mixes three content types, soft marketing, user generated content and product demos, and the balance is set from your brief rather than guessed at.

Can you still supply your own footage if you want to?

Section titled “Can you still supply your own footage if you want to?”

Yes, and plenty of brands do, but it supplements the production rather than replacing it.

A product shot you happen to have, a founder clip, a customer review someone sent you: send any of it over and it gets used where it fits. None of it is required, and posting does not wait on whether it arrives.

Why did a freelancer or a scheduler not solve this?

Section titled “Why did a freelancer or a scheduler not solve this?”

Because neither one was built to make content on its own, and that is the part that was actually missing.

A freelancer is one person doing strategy, filming, editing and posting at once, which is why the arrangement rarely survives your calendar getting busier. A scheduler is a posting tool: it assumes the content already exists and simply queues it, so it does nothing about the gap that caused the silence in the first place. Production is the part both arrangements left for you to solve alone.

The brief, the approval step if you want one, and which platforms the content actually goes out on.

If you would rather see every post before it publishes, that is a setting rather than a request, described on approval before anything publishes. What a month of this costs is on pricing, the managed service itself is content production, and the rest of these questions sit on the answers hub.
