Advertisers · Step-by-step guide

Recruit partners for your campaign

Prepare partner-facing terms, request publication and review applications privately.

Before you start

• Your own active advertiser account.
• A campaign brief accepted for setup by operations.
• Approved information that you may share with prospective partners.

Follow the steps

1. Choose the accepted campaign

   Open Campaign briefs, select the accepted brief and choose Prepare or view the recruitment listing. Review the campaign service and compensation model.

   What you should see: The listing belongs to your advertiser. Internal budget and brief descriptions are not automatically copied into partner-facing fields.

2. Write the partner-facing version

   Describe the campaign, eligible countries and languages, channels, disclosures, deliverables, rights and proposed compensation. Set the deadline in UTC. Save a draft, then inspect every field before choosing Submit for publication.

   What you should see: Drafts remain private to you. Submitted terms are available to authorized operations reviewers. Do not include confidential budgets, credentials or identity documents.

3. Follow the publication review

   Read review notes under the opportunity. If changes are requested, revise and resubmit. Once published, inspect the displayed terms and recruitment version. Pause applications or close recruitment when needed.

   What you should see: Only an operations owner or manager publishes or reopens the listing. Published terms remain fixed; a material amendment requires a new accepted brief and listing.

4. Review applicants

   Select Review applications for this opportunity. Inspect experience, availability, proposed terms and portfolio links. Shortlist for discussion, request changes while applications remain open, or decline. Explain your decision in the shared note.

   What you should see: Only your advertiser can decide its applications. The applicant sees the decision and note. Shortlisting does not authorize work, activate traffic or create a payable amount.

5. Hand over the selected candidate

   Record the opportunity and application references. Confirm final agreement, source rights, deliverable approval, funding and activation with operations before any work or traffic begins.

   What you should see: The handover names the exact recruitment terms and candidate. Any unavailable agreement or delivery workflow is recorded as a launch dependency, not bypassed.

If something goes wrong

Try it in training

In training, prepare a clipping listing from an accepted brief, obtain independent publication, inspect a test partner application, request changes and shortlist the revised application. Verify a second advertiser cannot view or decide it.
