Post a Campaign

Posting a campaign on Collabstr allows influencers to apply for your collaboration by submitting their own rates and portfolios. Instead of searching for creators one by one, you can post a campaign brief with requirements like budget, platform, niche, and deliverables.

This approach saves time, helps you attract qualified applicants, and gives you full budget control. Campaigns are also scalable, meaning you can hire multiple influencers from one post. All applications and communications are centralized in your Campaign Dashboard, and payments are protected with escrow until your orders are complete.

Key Features

• Campaign Creation Wizard – Build a detailed campaign brief in a guided, step-by-step process.
• Targeting Options – Choose platform, niche, demographics, and more to attract the right influencers.
• Budget Controls – Set an overall budget and per-creator pricing.
• Influencers Apply to You – Applicants come with rates and past work, fully opted in.
• Campaign Dashboard – Track applicants, review profiles, chat, negotiate, and manage your pipeline.
• Secure Payments – Funds are held in escrow once you hire influencers.

FAQ

How long does a campaign stay live?

A campaign will remain live until you either close it manually or reach the deadline date you set.

In some cases, campaigns may automatically end if the number of requested influencers has already been filled, and there is no activity from you (such as accepting or declining applicants). To keep your campaign active and continue receiving new applicants, make sure to regularly accept or decline influencers as they apply.

Yes. You can edit campaign details anytime from your Campaign Dashboard. Some details like the influencer targeting will not be editable once the campaign is up and running.
