Elev8or glossary: briefs, collabs, bounties and credits
Plain definitions for every term used across the product, so nothing in your dashboard is a guess.
If a word in the dashboard is unfamiliar, it is defined here.
Work and campaigns

|---|---|
| Brief | A public post by a brand describing work it wants done. Creators apply to it with a proposal. |
| Collab job | One creator slot inside a collab campaign, with its own price and deliverables. |
| Collaboration (collab) | An agreed piece of work between one brand and one creator. It has its own status, chat and payment. |
| Proposal | A creator’s application to a brief: rate, idea, timeline. |
| Campaign | A brand initiative that can hold many creators. Four types: collab, affiliate, performance (bounty), contest. |
| Bounty / performance campaign | Pay-for-results work. Creators post, and payout is driven by measured performance rather than a fixed fee. |
