How Brands Find and Message Creators on the Portal

Finding and Working With Creators as a Brand

The UGC Roster Brand Portal (at /brand/portal) gives brands several ways to find and connect with UGC creators. Here's a quick overview of the main tools.

Posting a Job and Reviewing Applications

  1. Go to the Job Posts tab to create a listing.
  2. Add a description, requirements, compensation details, and custom questions.
  3. Once live, creators can apply. Review their submissions in the Applications tab.
  4. Applications can be viewed per applicant, per question, or as an AI-generated summary.
  5. Hire applicants directly to your Roster from this tab.

Browsing the Influencer Database

  • The Influencer Database tab lets you search UGC creators by niche, platform, follower count, and more.
  • Unlock a creator's contact info to reach out directly.
  • Available on every plan. How many *new* creators you can contact each month depends on your plan: 50 on Launch, 250 on Growth, unlimited on Scale.

The Marketplace

  • The Marketplace tab shows creators who have opted in to be discovered by brands.
  • Filter by niche, platform, and content type to find the right fit.

Messaging Creators

  • Use the Messages tab to chat directly with creators.
  • Conversations are linked to job post applications.
  • Messaging requires an active subscription on any plan.

What each plan adds

| Plan | Monthly | Billed annually | |------|---------|-----------------| | Launch | $379/mo | $299/mo ($3,588/yr) | | Growth | $499/mo | $399/mo ($4,788/yr) | | Scale | $1,249/mo | $999/mo ($11,988/yr) |

  • Launch — campaigns, applications, messaging, contracts and e-signatures.
  • Growth — adds briefs, revisions and content approvals, creator payouts, and Meta whitelisting and ad codes.
  • Scale — removes the campaign, contact and seat limits, and adds developer API access.

Older plan names still appear on some accounts. Standard ($99/mo) and Premium ($249/mo) were retired in September 2026 and can no longer be bought. Existing subscribers keep their original price and their uncapped access, so a brand quoting a plan or figure you do not recognise is probably on a legacy plan rather than mistaken — check the account rather than correcting them.

For help with any Brand Portal feature, open the in-app support widget (bottom-right) or use the "Talk to the team directly" form.
