Ad Codes

Written by Jennifer Geithner

What are Ad Codes and why do you need them?

In some campaigns, you’ll be asked to add an Ad Code. This is a special code that allows the brand to run your content as a paid ad on social media—without having to create a new post themselves.

Your content stays on your profile as usual, but it can also be promoted as an ad.

  • TikTok = Spark Ads

  • Instagram = Partnership Ads

The brand can copy your Ad Code from Refluenced and use it in their Ads Manager with a set budget to run your content as an advertisement.


How to add an Ad Code to a campaign:

  • Go to the relevant campaign

  • Open your Reel or TikTok (it will have a red frame if the Ad Code is missing)

  • Paste the Ad Code into the designated field


What does this mean for you as an influencer?

  • Your content will be used by the brand as an ad to reach more people

  • You’re giving the brand permission to promote your content

  • You don’t pay anything—the brand covers all ad costs

  • You benefit from additional reach and increased visibility


How to know if an Ad Code is required:

Scroll to the bottom of the campaign overview. If you see “Branded Content,” you’ll need to add an Ad Code.
