What Match is
Match is a web-based marketplace and management platform for sourcing user-generated content creators and coordinating campaigns. Users can browse creator profiles and portfolios, filtering by location, age, niche, and tags. Match describes access to a network of more than 300 vetted creators and also a marketplace with thousands of verified creators. Campaign tools include multiple client profiles, unlimited creative briefs, multi-admin access with role-based permissions, creator messaging, approvals, and project tracking. Managers can onboard their own creators and keep them exclusive to their account. Clients can join project threads or receive approval links, including preview links that require no sign-in. For marketplace projects, Match holds funds in escrow until content is approved, then pays creators through the platform; it deducts a 9.95% commission from creator payouts. Private creator projects are listed at $4.95 per gig with no commission from the creator. Match also supports contracts and usage-rights clarity, and offers product-gifting projects that let users send products directly to creators. The platform is aimed at creators and managers, from freelancers and growing brands to global agencies.
