Handles matter
A brand with the wrong handle loses consistency.

White label recovery for branding and creative studios.
A new brand needs a matching handle. A launched brand needs its profiles to stay online. Both are part of the studio’s job.
Branding and creative studios choose names, build identities and often set up the social profiles for launch. White label recovery gives such a studio a way to claim a brand handle or recover a locked profile under its own name, while Unbanz handles the platform work behind the scenes. The platform decides.
Launch risk
A locked profile on launch week is a branding failure too.

Handles during brand creation
A strong name can be spoiled by a taken handle. Check availability early, and if the handle is held by an inactive or squatted account, know what the options are. A registered trademark that matches the handle is the strongest route. Without one, there is no public form for inactive handles, and honest providers say so. See white label username claims.
Handle routes in plain terms
| Situation | Usual route |
|---|---|
| Registered trademark matches the handle | The platform’s intellectual property report |
| An account is posing as the brand | The impersonation report |
| The handle was the client’s before | Recovery of the old account first |
| A neutral, unused handle | No sure route. Some handles cannot be obtained. |
After launch
- Make sure the client owns the accounts and the studio is only an admin.
- Set a recovery email on the client’s own domain.
- Document the roles so a lockout does not become an ownership argument.
See prevent lockouts for a full list.
Packaging it as a studio
Studios can add handle research to a naming package and recovery support to a brand care plan. Keep the wording honest: you will start the process, and the platform decides. Pricing options are in pricing models for reselling recovery.
The handoff
Send the desired handle, any trademark number and who the client is. If the client is not ready to be named, you do not have to name them. See the intake checklist.

QUICK ANSWERS
Good to know.
Can a studio claim a handle for a client brand?
Sometimes, through official routes such as a trademark report. No handle can be promised, and some have no honest route.
Do you buy or sell handles?
No. Buying and selling accounts is not part of the service.
What if the client wants a handle with no trademark?
There is no public form for inactive handles. Unbanz tells you honestly if there is a legitimate route.
Does the client see Unbanz?
No. Unbanz works for your studio behind the scenes.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. Our refund policy is a 100% refund if the case fails.
