Once you find suitable creators to participate in your campaign, you can invite them or mark them as prospects to invite them at a later stage. You can invite creators in different ways:

* [The marketplace](https://help.impact.com/en/support/solutions/articles/155000000153-recruit-creators): Once you've found a suitable creator in the marketplace, select their profile to invite them to your campaign.
* [Prospects](https://help.impact.com/en/support/solutions/articles/48001237374-view-prospective-partners): Mark creators as prospects if you don't want to invite them immediately but at a later stage.
* [Directly from your campaign](https://help.impact.com/en/support/solutions/articles/155000004440-invite-new-creators-to-your-campaign): Once you've set up a campaign you can invite creators or creator groups directly from the campaign.

When inviting creators to your campaign, invite more than what you need and expand your criteria to increase your chances of finding the perfect creators. Incorporate a mix of [creator tiers](https://help.impact.com/en/support/solutions/articles/48001240052-partner-size-rating-criteria#creator-tier-scale-0-3) to hit different sections of the funnel, appeal to different types of audiences and keep content usage affordable.
