Feature — Retainers & Star Groups

Relationships that outlast campaigns.

Retainer deals lock in a guaranteed content pipeline from your best creators. Star Groups give your most committed members a VIP home. Creators stay because Embassy gives them real value — not because they're locked in.

Quick answer

Retainer deals let brands sign top creators to recurring multi-video packages paid in cash + points, creating a guaranteed monthly content pipeline. Star Groups are invite-only VIP channels reserved for a brand's top earners, with first access to briefs, bigger deals, and exclusive perks.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do retainer payments work?

Retainers run on Embassy's standard rails: an e-signed agreement with recurring escrow-backed payments in cash plus points.

Who decides who gets into a Star Group?

The brand does — most use GMV milestones and campaign performance to make Star access an earned, transparent rank.

Can a creator have retainers with multiple brands?

Yes. Creators can hold retainers across the brand communities they belong to — Embassy keeps every brand's pipeline and payments separate and organized.
