How will the Creator receive the product(s)?

Creating a new brief? First, stop to think about the best way Creators should receive the product for content creation. In Cohley’s Creative Brief, you are now able to specify how the Creator will receive the product(s). This clarity enhances efficiency, communication, and timeline management, ensuring smooth content creation.

If you are directing Creators to purchase at an online retailer or to find the closest location to them via a store locator, this will be emphasized in the brief overview and in the automated acceptance message (see below). 

We hope this reduces the need for Creator questions and reduces the time between accepting Creators and receiving content for review. Don’t have a store locator because it’s a limited location release? Get creative by adding a link to a google sheet or a custom google map of locations - whatever works best for you!

HERE IS WHAT THE CREATOR SEES: 

The Brief Overview will dictate if you are receiving the product via mail, if you will need to purchase the product online, or go to a physical location. Look out for the differences so you know your next steps after being accepted to the brief.

Step one - Applying:

1. Shipped to you:
2. Buy online: 
3. Buy in store:

Step two - Accepted:

1. Congrats! You get an email saying you've been accepted and the brief is now under the Active tab. Always wait until this happens before purchasing the product!
   1. Shipped to you:
   2. Buy online: 
   3. Buy in store: 

Step 3 - Communicate if you are providing reimbursement:

Once product has been purchased, confirm with the Creator how you'll be reimbursing them. This might be a flat fee or asking them to submit a receipt for reimbursement. 

Step 4 - Send payment

Payment can be sent once the Creator is marked as Complete via 'Send Payment.' While the amount will be $0 for 'product only' compensation for each Creator, you can fill in the reimbursement amount.
