Had a very terrible first barter collaboration experience

One sudden day, I got a text saying you are shortlisted for a jewellery barter collaboration. I felt so delighted as it was my first official barter collaboration with any agency. After receiving the product, when i opened the box there was one neck piece in it which was partially damaged. As it was my first collaboration, I didn’t want any problems at that time so I decided to move on with the video creation process instead of contacting my assigned PoC regarding this issue. I somehow managed to shoot a beautiful video using all my creativity with that broken piece of jewellery and submitted the video for approval to the PoC. Now here’s the main tea, the PoC made me reshoot the video almost for 3 times. I started feeling very exhausted as it was not even a paid collaboration also the expectations they had while providing such low quality damaged products to the creators in the name of barter collaboration. Eventually the video got approved by the brand PoC after making me reshoot it 3 times for no reason and I took a sigh of relief. And yes, I had heard many not so good things about that agency in the past as well but ignoring them costed me my peace of mind.
