Business Cameo
Business Cameo terms
These are the rules for a paid placement in CallTheTwist. They are part of the application. You must be 18 or older and able to act for the business.
What is sold
- Background ($150). Your sign or logo appears in the background of a scene for a few seconds.
- Location ($400). A scene is set at your business, and it is named in the picture.
- Story beat ($1,000). Your business is part of what happens, named in the dialogue or on screen.
A placement is one appearance in one part of the show, in the part we choose. We write the scene, and we may change how your sign or name looks to fit the picture. A background sign stays on screen for at least 1.6 seconds and never appears in the opening hook.
Apply first, pay only if accepted
- Applying is free. A person on the team reads every application and may decline it without giving a reason.
- If we accept, you have 7 days to pay. After that the place is released and nothing is charged.
- You pay once, by card, on Stripe's checkout page. We never see your card details.
- You may withdraw before you pay. Nothing is charged for an application that is declined, withdrawn or not paid.
What we never sell a placement to
We do not accept applications from these kinds of business:
- Political parties, candidates, campaigns and causes
- Gambling and betting
- Adult content and services
- Weapons
- Tobacco, vaping and related products
- Crypto trading and investment schemes
- Payday loans and similar credit
- Pharmaceutical and medical products
We may also decline anything that could mislead, harass or harm people, that uses someone else's brand or likeness, or that a general audience should not see. Your logo must be yours to use.
Every placement is labelled as an ad
- Every post about a part with a placement starts with
#ad Paid placement:followed by the business name, on every platform. - The sign carries a "PAID PLACEMENT" label on screen for as long as it is shown.
- On platforms that have a paid-promotion label, we turn it on.
We cannot publish a part that has a placement without these labels, and you cannot ask us to leave them off.
No influence on the story
A placement never changes a vote, the League or what happens next. Your business is never part of the question the audience votes on, or of its options. Money does not buy a say in the story.
Refunds
- You get a full refund if you ask before your placement is scheduled into a part, and if we cannot place it.
- Once a placement is scheduled into a part, we take it out and refund you if you ask before the part reaches editing. After that it stays.
- A refund or a chargeback takes the placement out of any part that has not been shown yet. A part that has already been shown stays as it was shown.
