A managed clipping campaign is Elevate running the whole distribution operation for you. You supply content you have the rights to use and the objective; Elevate writes the campaign guidelines, opens the campaign to clippers in its network, reviews every submission against those guidelines, and reports approved activity for the agreed period.
The five stages of a campaignSame sequence on every campaign
01Approved contentYou supply footage and confirm rights
02Campaign definedGuidelines, platforms and review criteria written
03Clippers publishParticipating creators post from their own accounts
Submissions reviewedEach post checked against the guidelines
Activity reportedApproved posts and tracked views for the window
01
Who this is for
Teams that already have usable footage but no operation behind it: no brief, no creator pipeline, no review process, and no single place where campaign activity is recorded. If you only need edits for accounts you own, short-form editing is the smaller, correct scope.
02
Source content you provide
Interviews, podcast episodes, product footage, founder or team commentary, performances, livestreams, presentations, event capture, or an existing content library. What matters is that you can point to the rights and name anything that must not be used.
03
What Elevate creates
A campaign brief clippers work from: approved source material, platform scope, hook and caption direction, restricted topics, required disclosures, submission requirements, and the review criteria each post is judged against.

How distribution works
The campaign is opened to clippers in the Elevate network. Participation is campaign-specific (not every clipper joins every campaign) and each participating clipper publishes their own interpretation through their own accounts.

What you provide
Approved source files, rights confirmation, restricted subjects and wording, required disclosures, a decision-maker for approvals, and timely answers when a submission needs a call.
08
How reporting works
You see campaign status, approved submissions, tracked views, platform split and delivery against the agreed goal for the stated reporting period. Reporting describes distribution activity, not sales attribution.
09
Is this a fit?
Strong fit: usable footage, settled rights, a clear objective, and someone who can approve decisions. Weaker fit: no recorded material yet, rights you do not control, or a subject that cannot be discussed publicly.
Questions about this
It depends on source readiness, rights, platform scope and how quickly guidelines can be approved. The working timeline is confirmed during scoping rather than promised in advance.
