If you make content for a brand, this is where the work lives. Open Bandof and you see the campaigns your brand has running right now, what each one is asking you to make, and what it pays. Pick one, film it, post it, watch your ranking move. CAMPAIGNS Everything about a campaign sits on one screen. The brief. What you can and can't do. The tasks you still owe. Ideas for what to film when you're stuck. Any bonus on the table. Your numbers, climbing while the campaign runs. You can also look back at the ones that closed and ahead at the ones that haven't started. SCAN YOUR CONTENT Posting something that breaks a rule can cost you the reward. So scan the video first. Bandof reads it against that brand's own guidelines and tells you the score, what's working, and the one thing you should fix before it goes live. GROW Connect the account you publish from and Bandof watches it with you, by week, month or year. Every day it looks at how you're doing and gives you a couple of things worth changing, based on your posts instead of generic advice. YOUR PROFILE Your posts, the ones you saved, your level, where you rank, what you've won and what you've earned so far. Plus good practices from creators who are already good at this. One thing to know: Bandof works through the brands that use it, so you need an invite from a partner brand to get in.Β (e
