Step One

Create your campaign

Answer 5 strategic questions about your campaign goals, and our advanced AI Brief Builder creates a complete brief in under 2 minutes. Set your budget, define content requirements, and customize your AI-generated brief until it's perfect.

Step Two

Find verified creators

Browse creators who match your niche, or let them come to you. Every creator on Mega Donkey is verified for authentic followers and real engagement - our AI screening catches fake followers, engagement pods, and bot activity before they reach your campaign.

Behind the scenes
When you accept a creator, payment is immediately secured in escrow. The money is locked in - they know they'll be paid, you know it's protected until content is delivered.

Step Three

Manage your campaign

Keep everything organized from a single dashboard. Ship products, send announcements, and message creators individually or as a group. Bulk actions let you manage 50+ creators as easily as one.

Behind the scenes
Creators receive notifications at every step, so you don't need to chase them. The platform keeps everyone on track.

Review content — Mega Donkey product screenshot
Step Four

Review content

Creators submit their content for your review. You have 48 hours to approve, request one revision, or reject. The one-revision limit is a platform-wide policy that protects everyone - it means clearer briefs, better first submissions, and faster campaigns.

Behind the scenes
One revision limit encourages brands to write clear briefs and creators to deliver quality first submissions. It's better for everyone.
5
Release payment — Mega Donkey product screenshot
Step Five

Release payment

After approving content, creators post to their platform and submit the live URL for verification. You confirm the post is live, and release the payment. If you don't manually release within 10 days, it auto-releases - so creators always get paid for completed work.

Behind the scenes
The 10-day auto-release protects creators from ghosting. You'll get email reminders before auto-release, so you have time to raise issues if needed.

Frequently asked questions

Everything brands need to know about running campaigns on Mega Donkey.

What if no creators apply to my campaign?
Our Attractiveness Gauge shows you how competitive your campaign is before launch. If your rate is below market, we'll tell you. Most campaigns with fair rates receive 5-20 applications within 48 hours.
What if a creator doesn't deliver?
If a creator misses their deadline or goes unresponsive, you can cancel their participation and your escrowed funds are returned. You can then accept other applicants or close the campaign.
Can I request more than one revision?
No - one revision is a platform-wide policy. This encourages clearer briefs and protects creator time. If content fundamentally doesn't meet your brief, you can reject and escalate to dispute resolution.
How do I know creators are authentic?
Every creator passes AI-powered verification that checks follower counts, engagement rates, following ratios, and patterns that indicate fake followers or engagement pods. You can also run Safety Check AI on any creator before accepting.
What if I'm not happy with the final content?
After your one revision, if content still doesn't meet your brief, you can escalate to dispute resolution. An admin reviews the case within 24-48 hours and makes a fair decision about the escrowed funds.
