Hire Verified Creators
Work with CGA Verified creators as your standard. Not exclusively, but as the default when you hire, so the people making your content are confirmed humans with an authenticated record of their work.
Recognize the Rider
Adopt the CGA Rider as the baseline for your creator agreements, covering payment timelines, ownership, AI usage consent, disclosure, and credit. You are not signing our paper, you are committing to the standard it sets.
Verify your Domain
Add a single TXT record to your DNS. It takes minutes, and it proves the Mosaic profile belongs to your company. From there, creators can confirm that outreach from your domain is genuinely you and not an impersonator, credits authenticated from your company email carry weight, and no one else can claim your brand's seal.
Creator Trust
Any company can say it treats creators well. Verified brands prove it on a public Mosaic profile, maintained by the guild rather than declared by you, so creators and their managers confirm your standing in seconds before they reply. When two brands pitch the same creator, the verified one gets the meeting.
Brand Safety
Verification protects both sides. You hire confirmed humans with authenticated work history, no AI personas and no bought audiences, working under shared terms agreed before the first deal. Fewer disputes, and a neutral body to resolve the ones that happen, which is the difference between a disagreement and a story about your brand.
Industry Recognition
Every campaign you run with verified creators becomes an authenticated credit on Mosaic, a permanent public record of the work and everyone who made it. That record is what the upcoming CGA Awards judge, and it places your company alongside the brands defining what professional practice looks like. Recognition follows the record, and the record starts the day you verify.
