How it worksthe whole loop, both seats

The whole deal, start to finish.

ViewStage replaces the agency-and-spreadsheet middle of a brand deal with one loop: a brief becomes matches, the brand pays when both sides agree, AI screens every video before a brand sees it, and the creator is paid on the brand's approval (or when the 10-day review window closes).4 Every step, from both chairs.

№ 02The loop — both seats

One marketplace, two doors.

For brands

  1. Brief the campaign

    Write the brief in minutes — budget, platform, do's and don'ts, required hashtags. The AI helps shape it into something creators can actually act on.

  2. Meet your matches

    When the campaign goes live, the matching engine ranks creators by fit against the brief1 — match scores, platform reach, and work samples in one view.

  3. Agree a number, lock it in

    Set a per-creator budget; creators apply with their rate. When you accept one, your card is charged the agreed amount before anyone films.4

  4. Review work the AI has already checked

    Every submission runs the AI review before it reaches your queue, and arrives either cleared or flagged with the finding.3 Request a revision if you need one. Approving pays the creator, and so does leaving a video the review cleared or flagged for 10 days.4

For creators

  1. Connect your accounts

    Connect YouTube or TikTok over OAuth and tell us what you make. The reach brands see comes straight from the platform, not a media kit.2 Instagram is rolling out next.

  2. Get a feed that fits

    Live campaigns, ranked by your match score.1 Apply to the ones you want with the rate you want — no cold pitching, no agency relaying numbers.

  3. Film after the brand has paid

    Once your rate is accepted, the brand pays before you hit record.4 The brief sets guardrails, not a script — the creative read stays yours.

  4. Submit, get approved, get paid

    Upload your video; the AI screens it before the brand sees it.3 You're paid when the brand approves, and a brand that goes quiet on a video the review cleared or flagged pays out anyway after 10 days.4 You keep 95% of the agreed price.

№ 03One AI, two shifts

Nothing reaches a brand unreviewed.

The same engine works two shifts. Before the deal, it matches both sides by fit. After the submission, it screens every video (audio, sampled frames, and the text on screen) before it lands in a brand's queue.3 Creators are judged on published criteria, not a mood, and the brand decides whether to take the work.

Submission review — automated checks

  • FTC disclosure present in the video, not only the caption
  • Brand safety — no NSFW, no competitor conflicts
  • The sponsor actually appears, named or shown on screen
  • Production quality clears the bar
  • Campaign do’s, don’ts & required hashtags respected

Checked → brand queue

If a video doesn’t pass

It isn't silently rejected, and you don't get a verdict you can't argue with. The review returns the specific findings: what failed, where in the video, and a suggested fix for each one.3

You fix the flagged moments and resubmit, up to three review rounds per deal, and a brand can ask for a revision too.3 Run the rounds out, or let the revision window close with nothing new, and we close the deal and refund the brand. Every deal reaches an end, and we tell you which end it reached.

  • Every finding carries a severity and a plain-language explanation
  • Each one comes with a concrete suggestion to fix it
  • You revise and resubmit, up to three review rounds per deal

One thing the review deliberately doesn't do: force scripts. Briefs set guardrails — disclosure, safety, do's and don'ts. The jokes, the pacing, the read on your audience? That stays yours.

Every check the AI review runs, in detail

№ 04Real accounts, real reach

Numbers from the platform, not a media kit.

Creators connect their real platform accounts over OAuth, so the reach and audience figures a brand sees come straight from YouTube or TikTok — not a slide a creator filled in by hand.2 Matching puts fit first, the follower-count part of the score is capped so a bigger channel doesn't simply win, and there's no follower minimum to join.1

Take your seat.

Two minutes to set up, either side. No card until you accept a creator.

The fine print (we mean it)

  1. 1.A match score is mostly fit: roughly 50% semantic match between the brief and what you make, 30% structured fit (niche, audience, format, budget), and 20% an audience signal that's deliberately capped: past roughly 500K subscribers, a bigger channel stops scoring higher. There is no follower minimum to join, and audience size is never a requirement.
  2. 2.Reach and audience figures come from the platform accounts a creator connects over OAuth (YouTube and TikTok today; Instagram is rolling out as Meta review clears), not from a self-reported media kit.
  3. 3.Automated checks cover FTC disclosure, brand safety, competitor conflicts, sponsor presence, production quality, and the campaign's do's, don'ts, and required hashtags. The review transcribes the full audio and samples frames across the whole clip, with extra frames through the sponsored read. The disclosure check reads three channels: the spoken transcript, text on screen (counted only when it persists across at least two sampled frames), and the title and caption; a caption keyword alone does not clear it when an in-video channel was observed and came back negative. A submission that trips a check reaches the brand flagged, with the finding attached, rather than being blocked. When something fails, the creator receives the specific findings (what failed, where, and a suggested fix) and can revise and resubmit, up to three review rounds per deal with 7 days to send each one; if those run out or a window closes with nothing new, the deal closes and the brand is refunded in full. (ViewStage submission-review pipeline, September 2026.)
  4. 4.The brand's card is charged when the deal is agreed, before filming starts, and Stripe processes that payment. The creator is paid when the brand approves the work, and also if the brand's review window closes with no decision: 10 days, counted from the moment the review returns its verdict. ViewStage emails the brand when a video is waiting and again before the deadline. The clock runs on a video the review cleared and on one it routed to the brand flagged; a video the review declined never settles that way, and across revision rounds the total is capped at 21 days from the first delivery. Before any payout, ViewStage checks the post's title, description and pinned comment for the required disclosure, the brand link and a call to action. If that check fails, the amount is under the payout provider's minimum, or the creator has no payout destination set up within 14 days of approval, the brand is refunded and the creator is not paid. ViewStage charges a flat 5% on each side of the agreed price; full pricing is on the pricing page.
