Creator questions.
Everything you need to know about partnering with us: payments, onboarding, platforms and more.
About us & trust
Apptivate is the in-house creator agency of Almedia GmbH, the company behind Freecash.com. So we're not a third party, we're part of the same company.
Yes. We're Freecash's official agency and their closest partner for influencer marketing. Freecash doesn't run creator campaigns itself, we do, and we're in direct contact with their management.
Because we run all of Freecash's influencer marketing. Freecash doesn't do creator campaigns in-house, so with us you work directly with the team that plans, briefs and pays these partnerships.
Over 5 years in creator marketing overall, and more than a year specifically for Freecash.
Sure, for example Dieter Bohlen, Detlef D! Soost, Kim Virginia, Pietro Lombardi and AbuGoku.
We're a German company bound by GDPR, with a VAT ID in our imprint, and our management is the same as Almedia's, the company behind Freecash. Everything runs on proper contracts.
Whatever you prefer. We work directly with creators or with your management, however suits you.
We're based in Berlin. Apptivate is part of Almedia, the company behind Freecash.
Payments & rates
It depends on platform, audience, region and scope. Most partnerships range from $3K to $50K+, and the rate is always agreed with you upfront.
Only after your content is live. Payment follows within 30 days, via your preferred method.
Bank transfer, PayPal or vouchers.
EUR or USD.

We help you respond. Freecash often isn't understood at first glance, a lot of people think it's too good to be true, so it just needs a bit more explanation, and we support you with that.

YouTube: an integration within a regular video or a full dedicated video. Instagram: main Stories and reminder Stories.

That's still tracked.
There's no self-serve dashboard, but we keep you in the loop on how your campaign is doing.

That basically doesn't happen, and if it ever did, we'd see it immediately and fix it together with you.
Contracts & rights

That's individual and agreed case by case.

We look at each case closely and help you fix it, no drama.
