Partnership ads 101

A partnership ad is content a brand posts in collaboration with a creator to promote their product or service. It can be:

  • Original content created specifically for a brand
  • Existing organic content featuring a brand that they choose to boost later
  • Quick, text-only testimonials (coming soon!) that appear on an ad

This is different from organic branded content where you include a paid partnership label and it gets distributed just like any other post. With a partnership ad, the brand pays to show it to even more people, which helps you reach new audiences.

How to get started with partnership ads

Once you've finalized negotiations and signed the contracts, it's time to create your partnership ad. You have multiple ways to work with brands on partnership ads.

PARTNERSHIP ADS TIPS

Tips to make your ads fresh and engaging

Highlight the product or brand

Make sure the product is clearly visible throughout your content and build trust with your audience by clearly showing how you use it or the benefits.

Focus on a few key features

Talk about one or two of your favorite features using language the audience will understand.

Make it your own

Use color, movement, and language that't true to your personality and style.

Tag the brand

When you upload your content, make sure to tag the brand so they can discover it and turn it into an ad.

Use captions

Your captions provide an extra opportunity to connect. Make sure they're related to your content, or encourage people to engage.

Connect your Instagram account to your Facebook page

Link your Instagram to your Facebook page in Settings to ensure that your partnership ads can run across platforms, potentially reaching more people. Learn more.

MANAGE YOUR ADS

Stay in control of your content

Creator Settings gives you one place to see all your active and inactive partnership ads, so you can easily keep track of how and when your content is being used. You can even stop brands from using your content if needed.

While performance metrics are limited to the brand's account, we recommend asking your brand partners to share content performance so you can keep learning how to optimize your branded content for future deals.
