Two ways in

Clip what exists, or make the post from scratch.

Both lanes use the same review and payment flow. Mainstage gives creators the brief, checks the submission, verifies the views, and pays for the reach that holds up.

Existing assets

Clip existing media

Turn podcasts, streams, demos, webinars, founder clips, and talks into native short-form without scheduling a shoot.

How it works

From brief to verified reach.

Set the rules, distribute the work, review the posts, pay from verified reach.

01Brief

One brief becomes the operating system.

Lock the format, claims, payout, and proof before creators start posting. Scale needs rules, not guesswork.

02Creators

One brief, every angle.

Creators turn the same rules into a feed of hooks, formats, and audiences without the message drifting.

03Approval

Control the flood.

Submissions hit the gate before payout. Bad claims stop there, outliers move forward.

04Reach

Pay for proof.

Verified views become the receipt. You see which posts earned, what moved, and where to spend next.

Pricing

The fee comes down as spend goes up.

FAQ

What to know before you launch.

Teams with a product people can show, explain, react to, compare, or clip. It works well for apps, AI tools, SaaS, creator tools, consumer products, agencies with product clients, and founder-led teams with demos, interviews, or customer proof. It is a bad fit if the offer is unclear or the result cannot be judged at the post level.
Both clipping and original creator posts can fit. Some campaigns turn existing footage into short-form clips. Others ask creators to make demos, reviews, comparisons, or reactions from scratch. Mainstage is for the part that usually gets messy: the brief, approvals, view checks, creator payments, and reporting.
Yes. You can require draft approval before creators publish, invite only specific creators, or review posts after they go live before they count for payout. The campaign rules say what is allowed, what gets rejected, and who has approval rights.
Mainstage does. You fund the campaign wallet, creators submit work, views are checked, and approved payouts move through the platform. Your team is not chasing invoices, spreadsheets, or one-off transfers.
Both. Bring an existing roster, invite specific creators, open the campaign to applications, or have Mainstage source a starting cohort. This matters for agencies and in-house teams that already know people they want to work with, but need one place for rules, submissions, approvals, and payment.
No. Mainstage is a better fit when the product is explainable, visual, or already has proof people care. A sharp $5k test with a clear angle is more useful than a vague $50k creator spend.
If the offer, assets, and claims are clear, a first campaign can be shaped in a few days. Studio is built for teams that want help turning a rough idea into a real brief, payout rules, creator list, and launch plan.
Use Studio. Concierge helps teams operate the platform. Studio goes deeper: campaign strategy, angle selection, brief writing, creator sourcing, approval flow, and the first performance readout.
