Common creator questions
Find short answers here. Visit the help center for more guidance.
- Does applying to a Brief mean I'm selected?
No. Each Brief has its own requirements, and brands select creators from the applications they receive.
- Where do I find the instructions for work I've been selected for?
In your Active Brief in Cohley. It holds the requirements, deadlines, deliverables, and feedback for that project.
- Can Finn tell me why I wasn't selected?
No. Finn can help you explore Briefs and strengthen an application, but it can't explain an individual selection decision.
- Who do I contact about payment?
Start with the payment guides, then contact Creator Support with the Brief name and what happened.
