Listing price is often best determined by the context of the brand integration (eg/ prominence, screentime, context, how brand is used, etc.). Other considerations are the size and demographics of the projected audience.

Many deals start with a security deposit (about 10% of total).
Then, disbursements are made after each review round (typically 10% of total per review round).
Finally, the remainder is disbursed after the content is published.

Sometimes, bonus incentives are offered if the integration exceeds projections. Such as, projected audience size ended up being larger than anticipated…or, brand received more sales than anticipated…or, brand achieved more press coverage than anticipated.

Structure a model that works for your partnership.

No.

You can choose ‘Do not list price. Contact agent’ if you do not wish to show pricing or budget range.

Keep in mind; dealflow typically increases when an approximate price or budget range is visible. Much like purchasing real estate, the final price can be negotiated. Providing a number helps people at least know general parameters of what you expect before engaging.

Determining the ‘Integration Type’ is relatively straight forward.

Header (horizontal) images represent your page to the world and show up in search results.

Thumbnail (vertical) images represent your page also and show up in matches, messages, tasks, connections, and many other widgets. Upload header image sizes no larger than 750kb. Upload thumbnail image sizes no larger than 400kb.

Both are important!

Images tend to get more attention.

Download one of the photoshop templates for advertisers or photoshop templates for creators to get started. If you need more help, perhaps have one of our specialists design an image for you by going to the ‘Add-Ons’ section in your ‘Account Settings’.

Check the file size of your image.

Use free compression tools like Image Optim (https://imageoptim.com) to compress your file size.

File type: .jpg or .png

Header (horizontal) images should be less than 750kb in file size.

Thumbnail (vertical) images should be less than 400kb in file size.

Other potential causes could be:

• Slow bandwidth. This can cause a ‘Time Out’ error. Check your connection speed using free tools like Speed Test (https://www.speedtest.net/).
• Spike in users at that time. Try again later.
• We are upgrading our software or servers. Try again later.

Target Audience (also known as Target Market) are the people who enjoy your entertainment content (or buy your brand). 

Choose where they live, how many individuals usually engage with your content (or purchase your brand), and the demographics of your audience for better matchmaking by machine learning. eg/ age, gender, household income, household composition.

Audience demographics are the people who typically engage with the entertainment production (or in the case of a brand, they are the primary market who purchases the brand).

Accurate selection of your audience helps the algorithms to better align you with more relevant partners.

Machine learning needs to be taught.

In order to improve your matches, one of the attributes in the algorithms is an accurate definition of your target audience. This includes location and demographics. 

Include this in your Overview section. 

1. Page Name: Title of your production (or brand name).
2. Images: Horizontal header hero image and a vertical thumbnail image. Best practices are logos or product shots for of your brand. Entertainment should use title graphics or key art.
3. Brief description of your production (or brand). (This can be copy and pasted from your social media account)
4. Official Links to your owned social media accounts and website. This helps verify your credibility.
5. Product shots/logos (for brands). 
6. Cast, crew, talent (for entertainment). 

Yes.

Official links add credibility to your showcase page. Credibility can lead to more partnerships.

Short descriptions help users understand more about your brand or entertainment production.

This helps them determine if the brand integration will be a mutually beneficial alignment.

Choose how your page is categorized to help you receive better matches.

Brand advertisers:
Select the category that most closely aligns with your brand. (example: Apparel & Accessories » Women’s Clothing » Athletic Apparel) 

Entertainment productions:
Select the category that most closely aligns with your production. (example: Music » Hip Hop) or (Video Game » Racing) or (Movie » Thriller) or (Television » Comedy) or (Social Media » blog)

Adjust your page privacy setting by tapping on the vertical 3 dots on the right side of your page’s gray nav bar. 

 If you want certain connections to view your content you can choose them.

Adjust this per listing or per component instead of the entire page as well by tapping the 3 dots of that listing or component.
