Licensing
Organic Usage Rights
Permission limited to unpaid placement on the brand's own social channels, website, or email without media spend behind it.
What it means in practice
The content may appear in approved brand-controlled placements while distribution remains unpaid. Boosting the post, running it as an ad, or placing it through a paid creator handle generally requires paid media rights.
Why it matters
A team must classify each placement correctly before allocating media spend to licensed content.
How it is used
A social manager reposts an approved creator image to the brand's profile during the licensed term.
