Creator campaigns
Browse active brand campaigns, check fit, and submit applications with cover letter and rate.
Creator → Campaigns lists Pointerly brand campaigns you can discover and apply to. Open a campaign to read the brief (type, budget, deliverables, requirements, products, deadlines), then submit an application. Only active campaigns that still accept applications can be applied to.
This guide is for Pointerly Creator Connect campaigns—not Amazon Creator Connections.
What you'll do
- Open the creator campaigns directory
- Filter and open a campaign brief
- Confirm the campaign still accepts applications
- Apply with cover letter, optional rate, and links
- Jump to Applications to track status
Before you start
- Creator profile exists for the active team (required to apply)
- Profile is reasonably complete (categories, platforms, rates help match score)
- Remaining active application capacity on your plan
- You have not already applied to the same campaign
When a campaign accepts applications
A campaign can accept applications only when all of the following are true:
- Status is active (published from draft by the brand)
- Application deadline has not passed (if set)
- Filled creator slots are still below max creators
Otherwise apply is blocked with “Campaign is not accepting applications.”
Campaign types you may see: sponsored post, affiliate, product review, unboxing, tutorial, brand ambassador.
Steps
1. Open Creator → Campaigns
- Go to Dashboard → Creator → Campaigns.
- Browse cards or the list of published campaigns.
- Use search / filters when available (category, platform, status).
2. Review the campaign brief
- Open a campaign to read title, description, cover, and brand context.
- Check budget type, budget amount, payment terms, and dates.
- Note requirements, deliverables, content guidelines, min followers, and preferred platforms / categories.
- Review any listed products and social requirements.
- Confirm deadline and remaining slots before investing time in a cover letter.
Public campaign pages are also reachable on brand profiles at /b/[username]/campaigns/[campaignId].
3. Submit an application
- Click Apply (or equivalent).
- Write a cover letter tailored to the brief.
- Optional: set a proposed rate (stored in cents; shown in your currency context).
- Optional: attach deliverable or support links (valid URLs; labels ≤ 100 characters).
- Submit. Pointerly checks:
- Campaign still accepts applications
- Creator profile exists
- You have not already applied
- Plan application limits
- On success, status starts as pending and the campaign’s application count increments.
You can also apply via the in-product AI agent when it surfaces an apply result with a link to the new application.
4. Confirm in Applications
- Go to Creator → Applications.
- Open the new application (detail at
/dashboard/creator/applications/[publicId]). - Watch for brand review, negotiation, approval, or rejection.
Tips
- Align cover letters to deliverables and preferred platforms—brands review match score plus your pitch.
- Do not re-apply to the same campaign; open the existing application instead.
- If slots fill or the deadline passes while you draft, refresh the campaign before submitting.
- For Amazon CC opportunities, use Creator Connections—not this list.
