How Creators Are Matched With Opportunities
Creators are matched based on many factors working together. Being approved does not guarantee a match for every campaign, drop, or product.
Quick Overview
Collab matching is based on many factors working together. The full list below gives more detail, but in general, matches depend on:
Your profile details and selected interests
Your content style, quality, and posting activity
Your audience, engagement, and location
The brand’s campaign requirements and preferences
Product availability, inventory, and shipping eligibility
The number of available spots in a campaign
Current marketplace balance and campaign timing
Your past campaign activity, if applicable
Even if your profile is a strong fit, collabs are not guaranteed. Match availability can change based on brand needs, product inventory, timing, and available spots.
