How to Manage Your Brand Deals as a Creator with Rella
As a content creator or manager, keeping track of brand deals, deadlines, invoices, and approvals can get overwhelming—especially when you’re juggling multiple platforms and communication channels. Instead of managing everything across Google Sheets, email threads, and cloud storage, Rella offers an all-in-one solution to streamline your workflow.
In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to use Rella to manage your brand partnerships efficiently—without the back-and-forth.
Step 1: Set Up Your Social Space
Think of your Social Space in Rella as your dedicated hub for all brand collaborations. Here’s how to set it up:
Create a Social Space just for your brand deals (e.g., “Brand Deals” or “Sponsorships”).
Organize your projects however it makes sense for you:
By month (e.g., “February Brand Deals”)
By campaign (e.g., “Spring Partnerships”)
One big project called “Brand Deals” to house everything
This flexible structure lets you work your way, while keeping everything organized.
Step 2: Customize Your Workflow with Statuses
Every brand deal goes through different stages, so it’s important to track them properly. In Rella, you can customize statuses to match your workflow:
✅ Pitching – Brands you’re reaching out to
✅ Negotiating – Terms & deliverables in discussion
✅ In Progress – Content is being created
✅ Concept Submitted – Waiting for brand approval
✅ Approved – Brand has signed off on the content
✅ Invoicing – Payment is pending
📌 Pro Tip: You can drag and drop posts between statuses as they move through the workflow!
Step 3: Track Your Outreach & Communication
If you’re actively pitching brands, Rella helps you stay organized:
✔ Log brands under your Pitching column.
✔ Add a Follow-Up Task with the date to check back in.
✔ Store brand contact info & notes (e.g., emails, contract details).
✔ Assign tasks to your team (if you have a manager or assistant).
Everything stays in one place—so no more scrambling through emails to find your last conversation!
Step 4: Upload Content & Manage Approvals
Once you’re working with a brand, Rella makes content approvals seamless:
📌 Upload briefs, contracts, & deadlines to each campaign.
📌 Track deliverables across different platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.).
📌 Add notes, scripts, & shot lists for each deliverable.
📌 Upload your content, captions, and hashtags directly into Rella.
Share for Brand Approvals in One Click
Instead of emailing multiple files or using Google Drive, you can:
Click Share and generate a link.
Send the link to the brand—no logins or accounts required!
The brand can watch, download, approve, and leave comments directly in Rella.
No more guessing what needs to be changed or digging through emails for feedback—it’s all in one place!
📌 Pro Tip: Brands only see what you share with them—they won’t see internal team comments or tasks.
Step 5: Stay on Top of Payments & Invoices
Tired of chasing brands for payments? Rella helps you track it all:
📌 Move the deal to the Invoicing section once it’s ready for payment.
📌 Upload your invoice directly to Rella for easy reference.
📌 Stay on top of due dates so you never miss a payment deadline.
Everything stays organized, so you’re never left wondering if a brand still owes you money!
Step 6: Track Live Dates & Analytics
With Rella, you can see your full content calendar to keep track of all live dates and deadlines:
✔ View all posts in Calendar View for an easy snapshot of what’s going live.
✔ Sync with Google Calendar to get reminders straight to your phone.
✔ Keep track of when content is going live vs. what still needs approval.
Easily Share Performance Reports with Brands
Once your content is live, you can track performance and generate reports instantly:
Go to the Analytics section.
View Instagram & TikTok performance metrics (impressions, engagement, etc.).
Click View Reports → Generate a Report for the brand.
Share via link or email—no messy spreadsheets needed!
📌 Pro Tip: Brands love receiving clean, professional reports instead of random screenshots!
