Questions, answered.

Align is a Jamaican platform that connects brands with vetted content creators. You fund a campaign budget, set the flat rate you're paying per approved post, get matched with creators at that rate, and pay it out once their content is approved, no complicated formulas, no separate bonus math.

Three things: a vetted pool of creators instead of cold outreach, a clean flat-rate structure you set once per campaign instead of re-negotiating from scratch every time, and built-in payment logistics so you're not chasing invoices or drafting individual agreements per creator.

You set the flat rate per approved post when you create your campaign, for example J$15,000/post. Align adds a 20% platform fee on top of your total creator payout pool. So a campaign with 10 creators at J$15,000/post is a J$150,000 creator payout pool, J$180,000 total.

No. The rate you agreed to per post is the rate you pay, regardless of how the content performs afterward. A breakout post doesn't change your bill, that's just a bonus for you.

You review and approve every piece of content before any payout happens, nothing gets paid out until you sign off. Align can also show real performance data (views, engagement) on delivered content in your dashboard once it's live, so you can see how a campaign is landing, but that's for your own visibility, it has no effect on what you pay.

Yes, you fund your campaign budget when you launch it, and it's held until creators deliver approved, verified content. You're never charged more than what you funded, and unused budget from an underperforming campaign isn't lost to a flat fee you already committed to.

Every creator goes through a verification step before they can apply to any campaign, confirming their platform ownership, reach, and content history. You can also review a creator's portfolio and past content directly before approving them for your campaign.

Align's Starter tier runs J$50,000–150,000 with 3–5 creators, built specifically for brands who want to test the model before committing to something bigger. There's no subscription and no minimum commitment beyond a single campaign.

As often as you want, monthly, quarterly, or as one-off tests. There's no recurring fee or contract locking you in between campaigns.

You review and approve every piece of content before it counts toward payout. Nothing gets paid out on your budget without your sign-off.

No. The pilot cohort includes everyone from solo consultants and small agencies to major consumer brands. The Starter tier exists specifically because most brands who told us what they'd realistically spend landed well under J$150,000 per campaign.

Sign up as a brand, complete a short profile, and create your first campaign, or join the pilot cohort directly if you want early access and a hands-on onboarding with the Align team.

Align is a platform where you get matched with real brand campaigns and paid a flat rate for the content you create, the brand sets the rate for that campaign, you see it upfront, and you get paid it in full once your content is approved.

Every approved post earns the flat rate the brand set for that campaign, no guesswork. You see the exact amount before you ever apply, and once your content is approved, that's what you're paid, full stop.

No. Creators on Align range from a few thousand followers to well over 100,000. What matters most is real, engaged content in your niche, not just follower count.

After you sign up, your account is Pending until Align confirms your platform ownership and reach, a quick check, not a lengthy application. Once verified, you can browse and apply to every open campaign.

Once your content is approved, payout goes straight to your Lynk account (or your backup payout method if you don't have one) on the campaign's stated turnaround, typically 48–72 hours after approval.

Doesn't matter, you still get paid the full agreed rate for an approved post. How the content performs afterward, views, engagement, whatever, has zero effect on your payout. You're paid for delivering approved work, not for chasing a number after the fact.

Brands set the rate per campaign, but on campaigns where counteroffers are enabled you can propose a different rate before accepting, if you feel your reach or niche fit justifies it. The brand can accept, decline, or come back with a different number.

No, a decent phone camera and good lighting cover most campaigns. Some brands will specify what they're looking for in the brief, so check each campaign's requirements before applying.

Instagram and TikTok, either or both. You can list multiple platforms on your profile.

Once verified, you'll see every open campaign on your dashboard. Browse, filter by niche or payout, and apply directly to the ones you want, brands review applicants and select who they work with.

No, joining and applying to campaigns is free. Align only takes its fee from the brand side.

Your profile includes a portfolio of up to six pieces of your best content, plus a short bio, so brands can see your style before they ever message you.
