How Creators Are Matched With Opportunities

Edited

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.
