Find & join creator campaigns
This feature is only accessible to specific impact.com editions or add-ons. Contact us to upgrade your account and get access!You can browse and apply to eligible brand campaigns or get invited by brands to join campaigns. When joining a creator campaign, there are a few different scenarios:
If you apply to a creator campaign from the marketplace while already joined to the associated program, the brand will need to approve your application before you can start working as a creator for that campaign.
Alternatively, if the brand invites you to its creator campaign via the marketplace, you will be approved automatically upon accepting the invitation.
If you apply to a creator campaign via the marketplace without first joining the associated program, impact.com registers this as a double application to both the campaign and the program. The brand will then be able to choose whether it wants to approve your application to the program alone, or both the program and the campaign. If the brand approves your program application, you'll work merely as a partner to the brand, and the brand may approve your campaign application at any future point.
Alternatively, if the brand invites you to its creator campaign via the marketplace, you will be approved automatically to both the campaign and the program upon accepting the invitation.
If a brand invites you to its creator campaign via a campaign Invite link, they are essentially inviting you to both the creator campaign and the associated program (if you aren't already joined to the program). If you sign up via the link, you will only be approved automatically to the program. The brand will still need to approve your campaign application before you can start working as a creator for that campaign.
Before joining or accepting to join a campaign, you can view and negotiate the compensation, usage rights, and tasks (depending on the campaign settings).

Pay Creator
This option enables the brand to pay you once all the tasks are complete and the content is live.
Payment Scheduling
The amount of time between an action locking and you being paid out for driving the action. Brands can choose to schedule payments for locked actions at a later time than when they became locked.
Statement of Work (SoW)
