Placement Story: Leaving a Bad Agency Cleanly
A creator with a flat account, an unread contract and an agency that stopped reporting. How the switch was done and what the next agency changed first.
This is a composite of several placements that followed the same path. The creator came to us already signed with an agency. Her subscribers had been flat for two months, reports had stopped, and the agency held her login. She wanted out but did not know what her contract allowed.
Getting control back first
Before anything else: password changed, two-factor moved to her own phone, payout details confirmed as her own bank, content downloaded. The contract turned out to have a thirty-day notice clause and no exclusivity after exit, which is more common than creators fear.
Lining up the next agency before giving notice
We matched her with an agency that works her niche, and the intro call happened while she was still under the old contract. That meant the gap between agencies was four days, not four weeks. The order of operations is in switching agencies safely.
What the new agency changed in week one
Tracking links in every bio, so for the first time she could see where subscribers came from. A rewritten welcome message. Chat shifts covering her fans’ time zones. A written list of her limits.
Thirty days later
New subscribers up against her flat months, a weekly report she could read, and her login still hers.
