Can I invite Creators to apply to briefs?

Cohley supports inviting Creators to apply to briefs in two ways:

1. Creator Hub invitations

2. Private briefs

Creator Hub invitations

Creator Hub gives you quick access to view all recommended, favorites, and Creators you have added to a list. For non-private, open briefs, you can filter, search, or select individual Creators and invite them to apply. Creators will get a customized email with the invitation from Cohley. Just imagine that happy dance! 

While Cohley is still a generation platform where Creators come to you - we know there are times where you want to ensure certain Creators saw you launched a brief. 

To access, see ‘Creator Hub’ at the top of your Cohley navigation.

To effectively use Favorites and Lists:

Go to the Performance tab to find Creators that have captured a high engagement, Content Library to heart Creators that produced strong assets, or to a Past brief and go through the completed stage to start hearting. 

Name lists accordingly like 'Top performers' or 'Professional level content' so when it's time to run your next brief, you have a short list ready to go.

This is an example of the email the Creator will receive. Imagine your name and logo here!

We also recommend looking at favorite Creators from brands under your parent umbrella (if applicable) and recommended by Cohley. Every Saturday, Finn, our AI collaborator, updates your Creator Hub with fresh new Creators based on our recommendations for your vertical.

Use the filters to organize recommended Creators into lists and save custom filters to quickly find new talent each week.

Private Briefs

When creating your brief on the targeting page you will see Public, Creator Criteria, and Private.

Upon choosing Private, your Creator Hub will load. Not only will the selected Creators receive the above email, they will be the ONLY Creators that will see your brief. This does not guarantee acceptance, but many brands launch Private briefs with the expectation to work with that Creator. 

Note that private briefs are not viewable in the Creator Hub. Invitations for these briefs must be sent from the brief wizard where the Creator is selected on the targeting page. 

Having trouble?

If you are trying to invite a Creator from the Creator Hub into a new Brief and are running into issues, you can troubleshoot:

- Has the creator already applied to the Brief? Search their name in the applicants tab to see if you can find them. 

- The targeting that you set up might not include the creator. IE if you have age targeting on for ages 30-35, and the Creator is 40, they would not be able to see the brief or be invited to it. 

- You application deadline might have passed. Bump the date to a future date and try again.
