WHY IT'S FREE FOR YOU
Agencies pay. You don't. That's the model.
Cognitiva charges agencies for the compliance record system. Creators get all the benefits — faster payment, legal protection, AI compliance checking — for free. Because the record without the creator in it is just an agency spreadsheet.
Agencies pay for compliance.
They need the documentation trail for their brand clients, their auditors, and UAE regulators. You benefit because it includes your approvals and your payments.
Your data is yours.
The record of your work belongs to you. Export it, take it to a new agency, use it to dispute a payment. Your execution history — portable and permanent.
The network needs you.
A cognitive record without the creator is just an agency spreadsheet. Your participation is what makes it evidentiary. That's worth something — so we don't charge for it.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE · UAE · KSA · EGYPT
AI checks what creators used to get fined for not knowing.
UAE Media Law
Every promotional post requires clear, immediate disclosure — #ad, #sponsored, #gifted, or #partnership. Fines up to AED 1,000,000. Cognitiva captures disclosure status per post per platform as a first-class event — not a spreadsheet.
UAE Creator Licensing
Since early 2026, the dual-licence system requires a trade licence + Advertiser Permit linked to social accounts. Cognitiva tracks licence status as a first-class field in the creator schema — compliance becomes a by-product of campaign management.
General Commission for Audiovisual Media
KSA requires disclosure of sponsored content. Creators must not promote anything prohibited under Islamic law and local regulations. Cognitiva verifies cross-border KSA compliance per campaign.
UAE Cultural Standards
No alcohol promotion. Respect Islamic values. Avoid content that disrespects government, religion, or traditions. Violations can result in content removal and fines up to AED 1,000,000. Cognitiva AI sends an alert before publishing — not after.
Before any deliverable is sent, Cognitiva AI checks your post against all 20 UAE content guidelines, per-platform disclosure requirements, and your media licence status. Fines up to AED 1,000,000 come from avoidable mistakes. The record tracks disclosure status per post — your evidence in any NMA or GCAM investigation.
HOW IT WORKS · THREE STEPS
Your workflow. Unchanged. The record appears automatically.
You don't install anything. You don't change how you work. You just get paid faster and have proof everything happened.
Agency sends brief. You accept.
The brief arrives via WhatsApp, Slack, or email. When you accept, Cognitiva captures: brief version, your acceptance, timestamp, legal basis. You don't notice a thing.
AI checks your post for compliance.
Before submission, Cognitiva AI scans your post against UAE media regulations: Is disclosure (#ad/#sponsored) visible? Does content conflict with protected cultural values? Is your media licence linked? Seconds — not weeks of legal review.
Brand approves. Payment releases. 1–3 days.
The approval event automatically triggers your AED payment via Stripe UAE local rails. You receive confirmation with amount and campaign details. Money hits in 1–3 business days. The record is locked and held.
CROSS-BORDER BUSINESS
A creator in Dubai. Booked from anywhere in the world.
Your verified record isn't locked inside one agency or one market. It's your professional profile — portable, permanent, and recognised by Cognitiva agencies in every region.
European brands book UAE creators.
A luxury brand in London wants UAE creators for a GCC campaign. Your verified record — delivery rate, compliance history, zero disputes — determines who gets booked. Not your follower count.
US creators work with UAE brands.
A New York creator booked by a Dubai agency. Their verified US record translates directly. Cognitiva builds the bridge — one unified execution record across markets.
AED payments for non-residents.
No UAE bank account required for international creators. Stripe processes AED cross-border payments at interbank FX rates. Your Dubai agency operates. You get paid. Anywhere in the world.
LEGAL PROTECTION
The record that ends the 'we never approved that' conversation.
