# Creator partners

What a creator partner is, what you get, and how to become one for the brands you like.

A creator partner is a creator a brand has chosen to keep. It is the difference between one payout and repeat work.

Brands on GIMI are not looking for a pile of one-off videos. They are building a network of creators around their brand. When your work fits, they tag you as a partner and brief you again.

## What you get

* **Invite-only campaigns.** Partners see briefs that are not public, with fewer creators competing.
* **Repeat work.** The brand comes back to people it already trusts.
* **Better rates.** Brands can tier rewards so partners earn more.
* **A badge.** The brand's badge can appear on your GIMI profile, which helps with other brands too.
* **More reach.** Brands repost winning content on their own socials and niche accounts.

## How to become one

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Deliver on a public campaign

Most partnerships start here. Follow the brief exactly and submit your best idea.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Get noticed for the right reasons

Brands look at quality, whether you followed the brief, reliability and clean engagement. Not follower count.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Get tagged

The brand tags you as a creator partner. Brands can also add their own category tags to sort their network. Each brand names these itself, so they differ from brand to brand: one might tag you Editor, another AI creator or Walkthrough creator.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Keep delivering

Partner status is the brand's choice and can be removed. Consistency keeps it.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Other ways in

* **Apply.** Some brands run an application form for their program. See [Find and join campaigns](/gimi/for-creators/getting-started/find-and-join-campaigns.md).
* **Get invited.** Brands that already know you can import you or send you an invite link.

## What brands look for

* Work that matches the brand's tone and looks finished
* Every must-have included, first time
* A complete profile with links to your work
* A clean record. See [Credibility and trust](/gimi/for-creators/credibility-and-trust.md).
* A higher [level](/gimi/for-creators/gimi-level-system.md)

Being a creator partner is not employment or an exclusive contract. You stay independent and can work with as many brands as you like, unless a specific campaign's terms say otherwise.
