For brands

Find and vet creators, run influencer and UGC campaigns, approve content, and pay safely through escrow. Guides for brand teams.

Running creators as a channel rather than a series of one-off posts is what separates programmes that compound from ones that get cut. That means a repeatable way to source creators, a brief that produces usable work without repeated clarification, an approval process measured in days, and payment that goes out on time so the creators worth keeping come back for the next campaign.

Discovery comes first because everything downstream depends on it. Filter by niche, platform, location and engagement rather than follower count, and verify that the audience is real before money moves. A creator with a smaller engaged audience in your category will usually outperform a much larger general account, and cost a fraction as much.

On the money side, you fund a collaboration at checkout and Elev8or holds it until you approve the delivered work. There is no agency fee, no retainer and no minimum spend, so a first test can be one creator and one deliverable. The articles below cover briefs, approvals, revisions, payments, and the policies that govern brand accounts.
