Brand partnerships with creators
Brand partnerships for creators and brands that match
Brands and creators can run meaningful partnerships without guesswork. Hive centers the campaign terms first, so both sides know what will happen before they start.
Mutual confirmation keeps outreach clean
Hive uses mutual confirmation before opening a chat. That means a campaign thread starts after both sides accept the brief, rather than turning into unstructured DMs.
- No open ended cold messages, no hidden conditions
- Campaign scope set before communication
- Clear expectations on timing and deliverables
Protected, delivery-based payout
Funds are settled into the campaign flow so creators and brands have a predictable process. This is a paid partnership workflow: terms, execution, approval, payout.
- Campaign budgets are visible before acceptance
- Payout release is tied to approval of deliverables
- Terms are not changed quietly mid-campaign
Better partnering starts with clear campaign structure
For recurring partnerships, teams reuse structure and improve matching quality over time. Clear campaign history helps brands and creators repeat successful formats and avoid repeat mistakes.
