How it works
Briefs from brands you’d love to work with.
Live campaigns from indie beauty and wellbeing brands, straight to your feed. Joining is free, pitching is free, and you talk to the brand yourself.
Pitch in 60 seconds.
Record one short video and name your fee. The brand gets to see and hear you before they decide, and no media kit can do that.
Hired? Sign and you’re set.
We draw up the contract for you. You both sign with a tap, and the brand pays your fee into holding straight away, so it’s there before you film a thing.
Go live, then get paid.
Post it, and we confirm it’s up. When the campaign wraps, the full fee goes to your bank. Every penny is yours. Our fee comes from the brand, never from you.
No agency in the way. No invoices to chase.
If you’re a brand
Run it all from your desk
Write the brief with a proper keyboard, then watch pitches, approve content and pay, all from the same screen.
Approve every post before it’s live
Two rounds of changes on the draft, and 72 hours to review each one. Nothing goes live before you’ve had your say.
See how it’s performing
Views, likes, comments and shares, pulled from the creator’s own account once the post is up. No screenshots needed.
If you’re a creator
Free to join, and you keep the lot
Nothing to join, nothing to pitch. Our fee comes from the brand, so your fee stays whole.
From 1,000 followers on one account
Connect Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or wherever you post. You need 1,000 followers and 1% engagement on one platform, so a smaller, loyal audience is plenty.
Know your payout date
You’ll see your payout date as soon as the contract is signed. No guessing, no chasing.
The money is safe before the work starts.
The brand pays when they hire you, and we hold the fee until the job’s done. Creators never post on a promise, and brands never pay for a post that didn’t happen. Everyone can relax.
The brand pays up front
The fee is paid in as soon as a creator is hired. Both sides can see it’s there.
It’s held while the work happens
Nobody can touch it. The creator films, the brand reviews, the post goes up.
Released once the post is verified
We confirm the post is live. When the campaign ends, the fee goes straight to the creator’s bank.
Straight answers.
What people ask us before they sign up, from pitching to getting paid.
There’s nobody in the middle. You post the campaign, creators pitch you with a 60-second video and their own fee, you pick who you like, sign, and pay. The fee is held from the moment you hire someone and released once the campaign has run its course. Nobody chases a payment, and nobody pays for a no-show.
Run the whole campaign from one place. Your home screen shows every live deal as a pipeline, so you always know what’s waiting on you and what’s waiting on the other side. Sign contracts, message back and forth, and keep an eye on every payment: what you’ve spent, what’s on hold and what’s been released, with invoices to download. It’s the whole thing in one tidy place, rather than a directory that matches you up and then leaves you to it.
Yes. You see your spend, how many pitches are coming in and how many you’re accepting, over the last week, month or quarter. Once a post is live you get views, likes, comments and shares straight from the creator’s connected account, updated through the day. And on Pro, Spongle AI is on hand to help you draft a campaign, write messages and make sense of your numbers.
Posting is free. Creator fees start at €149 per creator, an introductory price, and on top of that you pay our flat 18% service fee and payment processing, plus VAT where it applies. Creators pay nothing at all.
The moment you hire them, their fee is paid in and held by Stripe, the payment provider we run on. The creator can see it’s there before they film anything. They make the content, post it and see the campaign through, and the fee is released to them once it’s run its course and everything’s been delivered as agreed. No invoices to chase, and you’re never out of pocket for work that didn’t happen.
Anyone can join for free. To pitch, you need 1,000 or more followers and an engagement rate of at least 1% on one social account (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Threads, Pinterest, LinkedIn or Snapchat), and that account needs to be connected to Spongle so we can read the numbers straight from the platform. It’s 1,000 on a single account, not a total across all of them. You’ll also set up payouts with Stripe before your first pitch, so there’s somewhere for the money to go. You don’t need a big audience here. Brands pick creators who fit the campaign, whatever the follower count.
A small, independent team in Ireland. We built the whole platform ourselves, from scratch, with security and privacy designed in from day one. Your data, your payments and your content are looked after properly, because this is the kind of platform we’d want to use ourselves.
No. Spongle runs in your browser, so brands can build and launch a campaign from a laptop and creators can pitch from their phone. Nothing to download. Native iOS and Android apps are on the way for when you’d rather have Spongle a tap away.
Post a brief, or pitch on one.
Brands write the brief and pay up front. Creators pitch by video and keep every penny. We’re just getting started, so come and be one of the first.
