Step 4: Submit your Talents for brand deals
Note: Unverified talent can be submitted for consideration in Whalar Brand Deals; however, they must verify their social accounts to participate in a campaign and gain access to the Payments and Messaging tabs. For more information, check out this guide.
During the agency setup process, you will have the opportunity to opt into brand deals. By selecting this option, your agency will be able to submit talent for consideration in brand deals and access a range of features to help manage these opportunities.
If you choose to opt in, you’ll gain the ability to:
Manage brand deal offers directly through the platform.
Track campaign progress via the Messaging Tab.
Set up payments to your agency through the Payment Tab.
If you miss this step during the initial setup, Admins can always opt your agency into brand deals consideration later through their agency settings dashboard. See the full steps below.
Log in to your Foam account.
Navigate to Agency Settings.
Select the General tab.
Scroll to the bottom and toggle on the Brand Deals option.
Once enabled, your talent will be automatically submitted and accepted for brand deals consideration.
