Contest marketing: answers for making a sound promotion decision

You can request a rules review, paid advertising, creative and copy, creator outreach, or community and consent-based email or messenger outreach. The scope can focus on one area or combine several. The contest marketing overview helps you compare the available forms of support.

Yes. Rules consulting, creative, creator outreach and community or email outreach can be scoped without paid advertising. We first check that the contest rules allow the proposed activity, then confirm the work and responsibilities in the agreed scope.

The quote reflects the work requested, the channels involved, the creative needed and the campaign period. Ad spend is paid to the platform separately from the agency fee. We confirm the scope and quote in writing before work starts.

Share the contest page, full rules, direct entry link, voting instructions, deadline and your goal. Include any available images or video and tell us which channels you already use. If a detail is missing, we identify it during the initial review.

Often, the first question is whether there is enough time to review the rules, prepare materials and launch the agreed work before the deadline. Send the closing date and time zone with your first message. The campaign calendar can help you think through available lead time.

We make the required action clear in the campaign copy and supporter instructions. If voters must confirm an email, register or complete another voting step, the message should describe it plainly. We do not help anyone bypass a contest's verification.

The contest rules set the conditions, and the organizer can clarify how they apply to your entry. We review the written rules before activity begins. If they are unclear, we recommend asking the organizer for a written answer; if outside promotion is prohibited, we do not take on that promotion.

No. We do not sell votes, followers or engagement, and we do not use bots, scripts, fake accounts or click farms. Our work is promotion through agreed advertising, creative and outreach; each supporter decides whether to vote. Read the no-bots policy for our boundaries.

No. We promise only the agreed work and reporting, with projections clearly identified as projections. The contest field, individual voter choices, organizer decisions and voting validation are outside the campaign team's control.

Reporting summarizes agreed campaign activity and information available in platform analytics, such as spend, reach, clicks and traffic sources where those are provided. You can use it to review what ran and how people reached the entry, rather than treating advertising metrics as a contest outcome.

Yes, when a parent or guardian has agreed to the entry and its promotion. The campaign also needs to follow the relevant platform's age and privacy rules. If the required consent is not in place, we will not proceed.

Yes. We can assess promotion for crypto, NFT and Web3 contests, including community awards, hackathons and grants. The campaign stays focused on the contest entry and its rules, not claims about token price, profit or returns. See the Web3 contest page for more context.

You receive the agreed wrap-up materials, including a summary of activity and the campaign assets produced for the project. The handover can also note useful audience and message observations for a future contest, so your team has a clear record of the work.
