Frequently Asked Questions
What is Crealo’s commissioning module for press and media companies?
Crealo’s commissioning module allows you to manage commissions for articles, photos and other content from third-party contributors, as well as handle requests after content has been received, even when the asset is created or delivered before the contract is in place. Crealo lets you link each asset to a commission, ensuring that all related assets are automatically tracked and consolidated.
What is Crealo’s contract management module for press and media companies?
Crealo allows you to establish a clear legal framework for every contribution: create, sign, record and archive contracts directly on the platform. Each asset is linked to a contributor and a contract. You can choose the contractual format that best fits your needs, whether a contract for an individual commission or a master press agreement, and define the relevant rights and terms, including exclusivity, territorial scope and remuneration. Contracts can also be signed electronically by all parties without leaving the platform.
What is Crealo’s rights clearance module for press and media groups?
In Crealo, every asset, whether a photo, video, illustration or article, is linked to its contract, the rights acquired and its usage history. The rights clearance module provides a dashboard summarizing, for each asset, the channels on which it can be used, any rights that have expired and any ongoing rights assignments. The objective is twofold: to reduce the legal risk associated with publication by giving you a clear, up-to-date view of what can and cannot be published, and to prepare for resale and future uses, including AI training and AI-related exploitation, by providing better visibility into how each asset is used throughout its lifecycle.
How does Crealo help with contributor reporting?
Crealo enables you to automate and manage your obligations towards each contributor. You can generate royalty statements for every third party, whether an individual or a legal entity, distinguish between freelance journalists paid through copyright royalties and standard service providers, and give each contributor access to a dedicated portal where they can view their statements. Crealo also allows you to prepare and submit URSSAF declarations for your contributors in just a few clicks.
What types of press and media companies use Crealo?
Crealo’s clients include L'Équipe, Beaux Arts, Bayard, Paris Match and JBH Santé.
What are the main benefits of Crealo for press and media groups?
Crealo enables press and media groups to centralize and secure the management of their copyright and usage rights. Every piece of content, whether a photo, article or video, is directly linked to its contractual framework, making it easy to identify the associated rights and see, in real time, what can be used or licensed, along with any applicable restrictions or expiration dates. Crealo also simplifies the management of copyright royalties by automating calculations and generating statements for contributors and other third parties. Finally, the platform helps ensure compliance with social security obligations by automatically generating the files required for URSSAF declarations.
