StudyCreative publishes independent cost and outcome data on creative-industry degree programs. People who want to be contacted about a program submit a request form, and we deliver that inquiry to education providers. Every inquiry carries a TrustedForm certificate, and the consent text served at the moment of submission is stored verbatim and version-stamped against that inquiry. A buyer is added to that text by name on signature and the version is bumped, so every inquiry you receive was captured under consent that names you — and we can show you which version each one carries. This page is the detail a buyer needs before signing.

Who we are

StudyCreative is published by Tapline Media LLC, 8735 Dunwoody Place #13548, Atlanta GA 30350. We aggregate figures from IPEDS, the College Scorecard and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and publish them by field of study. No school pays to appear in our figures, and we make no employment or earnings claims of our own. Our methodology documents every source and is written to be checked.

That independence matters commercially as well as editorially. The person filling in a form has been reading actual program costs and outcomes, not a comparison table built around whoever is paying.

Where these inquiries come from

Two channels, and we will always tell you which one a batch came from:

  • Direct and organic traffic to our program data pages, where a reader requests information on a specific field.
  • Opt-in email to people who previously enquired about creative-industry programs, who receive our published figures and can request contact from a provider.

We will provide a written source disclosure for any batch on request, and we would rather lose a deal than misdescribe where a record came from.

What we send you

Fields transmitted with every lead
IdentityFirst name, last name, email address, phone number, ZIP code
InterestProgram requested, field of study, institution of interest, education level
QualifyingStart timeline, military status
ProvenanceLead ID, timestamp received, consent version, consent timestamp, TrustedForm certificate URL

Field names are mapped to your schema on delivery, so the payload arrives using your own keys rather than ours.

A working sample is published at /sample-payload.json. It is synthetic — no real person’s details — but the field names, their order and the exact value formats are what live delivery produces, including the consent version and certificate URL carried on every record. Map against it and nothing will surprise you on the first post.

Consent and certification

Every lead carries a TrustedForm certificate. Not a sample, and not on request. A lead without a certificate is never delivered, and that rule is enforced in the delivery code rather than by policy.

Consent names you at the point of submission. Buyers are listed beneath the checkbox on the form itself and on our partners page. The exact wording served, the version stamp, and the list of parties named are snapshotted onto the lead record, so when you open the certificate you see yourself named at the moment the person agreed. A lead captured before you were named is never sold to you, because that consent does not cover you.

The consent language covers, in full: contact by automated technology including calls and texts, that consent is not a condition of purchase, carrier message and data rates, the specific parties who may make contact, and the methods of revoking consent. Call recording is disclosed above the submit button.

How inquiries are delivered

  • Real-time HTTP POST to your endpoint, authenticated with your credential, using your field names.
  • Your acceptance criteria are honoured. If you answer 200 with a rejection in the body, we read the body. A rejection is never booked as a sale.
  • Your lead ID is captured and stored against our record, so any billing question can be settled against your own identifier.
  • Deduplicated per buyer. The same record is never posted to you twice.
  • Scheduled file delivery is available if you prefer it, but real time is the default.

Returns

We accept returns for 72 hours from delivery on any lead with invalid contact data, a duplicate already in your system, or a field of study outside what we agreed. Approved returns are credited against the next invoice. We would rather credit a bad record than argue about it.

We ask one thing in return: your acceptance rate in writing, periodically. It is the only way we can find and fix a quality problem before it costs you anything.

Compliance

  • Prior express written consent naming the seller, captured before any contact and documented per lead.
  • Age attestation of 18 or over required before submission.
  • Global Privacy Control signals are honoured. A lead from a browser sending GPC is never sold.
  • Do Not Sell or Share requests are accepted through our dedicated page, confirmed within 15 business days, and suppress the record from future delivery.
  • CAN-SPAM compliant email with one-click unsubscribe on every message.
  • Source-conflict enforcement: a person’s inquiry is never delivered to a school they already attend or previously enrolled with, and the same restriction applies to any party representing that school.

What we will not do

  • No incentivized traffic. Nothing is offered in exchange for a submission beyond the program information the person asked for.
  • No co-registration, survey paths, or bundled offers. Every inquiry is a standalone request for one field of study.
  • No purchased or rented lists used as a lead source.
  • No aged inquiry resold as a fresh one. A record is delivered with the timestamp it was actually captured.
  • No lead delivered without a TrustedForm certificate. This is enforced in code, not by policy.
  • No lead delivered to a school the person already attends or previously enrolled with.

Starting

We onboard a limited number of buyers per field so that delivery stays inside what each can absorb. A typical start is a capped daily volume in a single field, posted real time, with the return policy above and net-15 terms, moving to a standing order once your acceptance rate is established.

W-9 and business documentation are provided on request, along with our written consent language, a sample payload, and a source disclosure for the field you are buying.

Write to hello@studycreative.org with the field, the geography and the daily volume you want, and we will send a sample payload and the paperwork the same day.
