How a collab actually runs
Six steps from a brief landing in your inbox to the content going live. Nothing here changes once a campaign starts, and anything that does change gets agreed in writing first.
-
01
We post a brief
A campaign goes up on this site and into the WhatsApp channel. It names the brand, the deliverable, what you receive, the deadline and whether usage rights are being bought.
-
02
You register interest
One short form. If you have collaborated with us before, your handle is enough and it takes fifteen seconds.
-
03
We shortlist
Usually within two days. Shortlisting weighs reach against the brand audience, your category, your city where the campaign is location-specific, and whether previous collabs were delivered on time.
-
04
The brand approves
Brands almost always want final say on who represents them. This is the step that can take longest, and we will tell you if it slips.
-
05
Product ships, content goes live
You get the brief, the product and a deadline. Ask questions before you shoot rather than after, because a reshoot costs you more than it costs anyone else.
-
06
You send the link, we close the loop
We record what went live and what it reached. That record is what gets you shortlisted faster next time, so it is worth sending.
Usage rights, in plain terms
A collaboration buys the post. It does not buy the right to run that post as a paid advertisement, to put it on a billboard, or to use it on a product page indefinitely. Those are separate, and each one has a price.
We settle rights in the brief rather than after the content performs well, which is the point at which most creators discover their work is running as an ad they were never paid for. Where a brand wants to run your content as paid media, the brief states the term and the additional compensation before you agree to anything.
What gets a creator taken off the roster
Taking a product and going quiet. Everything else is recoverable, including a missed deadline you flagged in advance and content that needed reshooting. Going quiet costs the brand a slot and costs us the relationship, so it is the one thing we do not work around.
Before you apply
-
No. We never charge creators to join, to be shortlisted, or to be paid. Any agency or individual asking a creator for a joining fee is running a scam, and that holds well beyond us.
-
Most are barter at the moment, meaning product in exchange for agreed content. Paid campaigns are a growing share and are always described as paid in the brief, with the fee stated before you agree.
-
You do. If a brand wants to run it as a paid advertisement, that is usage rights, and it is a separate agreement with separate compensation agreed before the campaign starts. We will not run your content as an ad without it.
-
Within 15 working days of the content going live and the link being shared with us. If a brand delays, that is on us to chase rather than on you.
-
Tell us before it passes and we will usually move it. Going quiet after receiving a product is the one thing that takes a creator off the roster, because it costs the brand a slot it could have filled.
-
We share your handle, city, category and reach with the brand when we shortlist you for their campaign, because they need it to approve you. We do not publish a public directory and we do not sell the roster.
-
No. We only work with creators aged 18 or over.

Email contact@rangblazemedia.com from the address you applied with, or message the number on the contact page, and we delete the record. You do not have to give a reason.
