How to Get Better Content from Creators

Want higher-quality submissions? It starts with a clear brief, not chasing perfection.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Let’s talk about something every brand wants:

High-quality content.

But here’s the truth:

“Quality” is subjective.

What looks high-quality to you might not be what performs best on TikTok. And sometimes, the raw, authentic clips win over the polished, cinematic ones.

So how do you actually improve submission quality?

It’s simpler than you think.

Start With a Clear Brief

The single most powerful way to guide creators is your brief.

If you want something specific, be specific.

If you’re open to creativity, keep it broad. Either way:

  • Use inspiration videos so creators understand your style

  • Spell out your must-haves in the rules

  • Be concise—write like you’re explaining it to a 10-year-old

Creators have limited time and many options. If your brief is long, unclear, or full of hoops, they’ll likely skip it.

Feedback Helps Everyone

If a submission misses the mark:

  • In contests: flag it to be removed

  • In deals: decline with a short note

It’s okay if not every video hits the mark. What matters is helping creators improve over time.

Top Creators Expect More

If you want to attract creators with larger followings or stronger production value:

  • Be ready to offer higher prizes or accept higher bids

  • High-quality creators often know their worth

But again—more polished doesn’t always mean more effective.

Authenticity Wins

Sometimes the best-performing content is:

  • Messy

  • DIY

  • Shot on a phone

  • Completely real

That’s what works on short-form platforms.

So don’t get too hung up on how “perfect” something looks.

Final Thought

Yes, you should care about quality. But focus more on:

  • Clarity in your brief

  • Alignment with your goals

  • Real-world results

That’s how you run a winning campaign on Posted.
