Performance creative
The engine behind new media.
Hundreds of creators create thousands of posts, manufacturing virality, paid for entirely on performance. Whether it's clipping existing content or making something new — a single campaign creates a wall of creator posts across every short-form feed. It's how new media breaks out.

FAQ
What to know before you launch.
Mainstage is the Campaign OS. Use the platform if you have an operator. Use Studio if you want us to shape and run the first Campaign with you.
Concierge guides your team through setup. Studio does the first run with you: strategy, Brief, creator sourcing, approvals, review, payouts, and reporting.
Product teams, AI apps, SaaS, devtools, founder-led companies, prosumer products, and agencies running product-led social.
Yes. Studio is built for the first serious test: we shape the campaign, write the brief, recommend payouts, source creators, run review, and report what worked.
Yes. Campaigns can be open, approved-only, private to an invited cohort, run through an agency roster, or limited to creators Mainstage recommends.
No. Clipping is one campaign type. Mainstage also supports product demos, talking-head reviews, founder-led launches, skits, scenario posts, customer stories, and other original short-form briefs.
You get the totals and the reusable signal: hooks, claims, creator types, formats, payout rules, and posts worth re-running.
For creators
Create for brands with real budgets. Earn when posts perform.
Mainstage shows the source material, payout rule, approval criteria, deadline, and upside before a Campaign is claimed. Clipping and original posts both count when they match the Brief and clear review.
