Run your brand deals
like a business.
Your deals are scattered across DMs, docs, and inboxes. Makerbrief gives you one place to capture offers, clarify briefs, track deliverables, follow up on payments, and come back for more.
The problem
Sound familiar?
Mid-tier creators manage 2–9 brand deals a month. That's a real business workflow — but most creators are still running it out of their DMs and a shared doc.
Deals live everywhere except one place.
A brand DMs you on Instagram, follows up via email, and sends the brief in a Google Doc. By the time you respond, you've lost the thread — and possibly the deal.
Vague briefs turn into endless revision rounds.
The brand says “make it feel authentic.” Three revisions later you still don't know what they actually want, and you're working for free.
Deadlines slip when nothing is written down.
You agreed on a posting date in a DM six weeks ago. Now you can't find it, the brand is chasing you, and you're scrambling.
Chasing late payments feels unprofessional.
You posted the content. Thirty days passed. You sent one awkward follow-up, heard nothing, and now you're not sure whether to push harder or let it go.
One-off deals that never become repeat business.
A brand paid on time, loved your content, and disappeared. Six months later you realize you forgot to follow up. That repeat deal was worth more than the first.
The solution
One place for every brand deal.
Makerbrief is built around the full lifecycle of a brand deal — from the first message to the renewal follow-up.
Every deal in one pipeline.
Log inbound offers from DMs, email, referrals, or marketplaces in seconds. Nothing slips through the cracks.
Get the brief right before work starts.
Turn vague messages into structured, agreed briefs. Catch scope creep before it costs you revision rounds.
Track every deliverable and revision.
Know exactly what's done, what's pending, and where you are in every deal — without digging through threads.
Follow up on payments without awkwardness.
See what's outstanding, overdue, and paid. Follow up with confidence, not anxiety.
Turn one-off deals into long-term partnerships.
Get reminders to follow up with brands whose deals have ended. Repeat deals are the best deals.

Features
Built for how brand deals actually work.
Not a generic CRM. Not a marketplace. A focused tool for the operational side of brand partnerships.
Your active deals, always visible.
See every brand deal in one pipeline — status, fee, deadline, and next action at a glance. No more digging through inboxes to remember where things stand.
Align on the brief before work starts.
Capture deliverable specs, key messages, usage rights, and revision limits in a structured brief. Send it to the brand for sign-off before you film anything.
Track every step, every round.
Know exactly what's been delivered, what feedback is outstanding, and how many revision rounds remain. Stop losing context between versions.
Know what you're owed and who to follow up with.
See every deal's payment status in one view. Get clear on what's awaiting, what's overdue, and what's paid — without running down your inbox.
Never let a good brand relationship go cold.
Makerbrief reminds you to follow up with brands after a deal ends. One repeat deal can outperform three cold outreach attempts.
How it compares
Marketplaces help you get found.
Makerbrief helps you run the deal.
Instagram Creator Marketplace and TikTok One help with discovery — that's genuinely useful. But they're platform-specific and end at the handshake. Everything after the deal is agreed is on you.
Platform marketplace features evolve. We respect Instagram and TikTok's tools — they're genuinely useful for discovery. Makerbrief picks up where they leave off.
Why creators trust it
Designed around how deals actually work.
Not built to impress VCs. Built to be useful to a creator managing 4 active brand deals while also making content.
Built around real creator workflows.
Every feature was designed around documented creator pain points — not assumed ones. No feature bloat. No features that only work for brands.
Creator-first, always.
This is your tool. Not a brand portal. Not a marketplace. Your data, your deals, your workflow. No brand can see your pipeline.
Designed for speed, not complexity.
Log a new deal in under 30 seconds. We built this for busy creators who already have enough admin, not product managers who love dashboards.
No shame-inducing UI.
No red overdue counters designed to spike anxiety. Clear, calm, professional — like the business you're building behind the content.
127+ creators are already waiting.
I've been running brand deals in a Google Sheet for two years. I know exactly what this tool is filling.
The brief chaos is real. I've had deals go three rounds of revisions because we never agreed on the scope upfront.
Chasing late payments is the worst part of creator work. Nobody talks about it, but everyone deals with it.

How it works
Up and running in minutes.
No onboarding marathon. No six-step wizard. Log your first deal, see how it works, and build the habit from there.
Capture the opportunity.
A brand reaches out. Instead of letting it live in your DMs, you log it in Makerbrief in 30 seconds — brand name, deal type, estimated fee, and deadline. It's in your pipeline and you haven't missed anything.
Works with deals from Instagram, TikTok, email, referrals, or anywhere.
Organize the deal.
Build a structured brief together with the brand. Add deliverables, agree on revision limits, set a posting deadline. When everyone is aligned before filming starts, revision rounds drop dramatically.
Brief, deliverables, revision log, payment terms — all in one deal record.
Deliver, get paid, and follow up.
Mark deliverables as done, track payment status, and get a nudge when a deal ends to follow up for a renewal. The whole deal lifecycle — start to repeat partnership — happens in one place.
Payment tracking, overdue alerts, renewal reminders built in.
