BRANDED CONTENT TIPS

Sharpen your branded content game

Just do you

Followers can tell straight away when a partnership is out of character for you. So stay true to your style by partnering with brands that really speak to you and make sure that you indicate your interests in the Creator Marketplace to get relevant projects.

Own your partnerships

When a brand sponsors your content, they'll expect to see their product front and centre. And your followers will appreciate your transparency as well.

Create mobile-friendly content

Always capture video content vertically. And as content is often viewed without sound, try to add copy throughout or enable subtitles in advanced settings.

Prohibited and restricted categories

Certain products, such as drugs and weapons, can't be promoted as branded content. And others can only be promoted with restrictions, such as alcohol. See the full list.

Format restrictions

Don't include pre-, mid- or post-roll ads in videos or audio content. Don't include banner ads in videos or images. See what it looks like in our visual guide.

Always disclose paid partnerships

If you're getting paid in any form for your content, you'll need to add a paid partnership label. Unsure if yours qualifies? Take a look at our full list of scenarios.

How to earn with branded content

As you'll negotiate the terms of every branded content deal, each will be different. But it's always a good idea to provide the brand with data, such as your number of followers and the average number of likes, views, comments and shares your organic content and past branded content deals have received. All of this will help back up why you deserve a certain rate.
