Filing date (registration): 2025-09-26. Bridges Partners LLC (Delaware, organized 2025-06-03; owners Uri Steinberg and Yair Levi, 50% each) registered for “Government of Israel through Havas Media Group Germany.” Exhibit A names the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as the agency represented, “conducted through Havas.” Agreement date on Exhibit B: 2025-06-16.

What the filed Havas order shows (Exhibit B attachment, dated 2025-06-16). Order 93702/0, “(INT) Influencer Campaign (USD)”, product “Ministry of Foreign Affairs”, campaign “Esther Project,” six monthly lines June to November 2025: $60,000 + $140,000 + $200,000 + $250,000 + $200,000 + $50,000 = $900,000 (sum computed from the filed lines). Notes on the lines describe influencer payments, “Post volume: approx. 25-30” a month, and influencers activated in waves of 5-6, 3-4, 3-4, and 3-4. The $900,000 is a booked order, not a payment record.

Money as filed. Receipt (payment date 2025-07-03): $199,985, “advance for campaign expenses,” from the foreign principal. Pre-registration disbursements $97,054 (to 2025-09-16); a 2026-05-01 amendment adds $6,638 to Pinkston Group Inc (2025-09-22). Supplemental for 2025-10-01 to 2026-03-31 (filed 2026-04-30): no receipts; disbursements $197,960 across 24 rows (largest payee D3 Entertainment, $75,000 “segmented audience marketing”; Rolop LLC and an individual project manager, “project management and media outreach”; Candor Marketing, Pinkston Group, Matt Brown Group, Wholehearted Love LLC). The filing shows no payments to named creators.

What the registrant says it did. The supplemental states Bridges “had no role in developing, creating, promoting, or disseminating any content,” and checks no informational materials. Verdict: documented that a $900,000 influencer order exists in the filing; not established who the influencers were or who paid them, since the filings show Havas, not Bridges, as the booking party. No short-form registrant is a creator.
