What is Whitelisting?

Whitelisting grants another Facebook or Instagram account the permissions needed to run ads on behalf of a creator account. Whitelisting is a required step to take for you to be able to run ads and have it look like it’s coming from a specific creator.

What are the benefits of using CreatorIQ to whitelist?

Privacy, Security and Trustworthiness: CreatorIQ works as the middleman, ensuring privacy for both the Creator and the Brand’s accounts. Permissions are granted in such a way that ensure there is no visibility from the Creator into the Brand account, or from the Brand account into the Creator account.

Customizable and Easy-to-Obtain Permissions: Brand’s can request whitelisting permissions from Creators in just a few easy clicks. Creators can set a date on their end for whitelisting permissions to be revoked, ensuring privacy and security.

Streamlined Process:: With integrated whitelisting, there is no longer a need to deal with the hassle of paying Creators additional money to boost posts on their own and ads can be run directly from your own Ad Account, with no need to have a separate account for Influencer Campaigns alone.

Seamless Integration:: Seamlessly integrate with your Paid Media team by enabling them to set up and run ads directly from Ads Manager, or a third party platform, ensuring you have access to the latest placements, interests, and post types.
