Review Project Brief Elements
Before you submit a bid, it’s essential to carefully review the full project brief. This helps you understand what the brand is asking for, determine if it’s a good fit for your skills and schedule, and build a strong, relevant bid.
Project Title | The name of the project. This is set by the brand and cannot be changed. |
Due Date | The deadline for delivering final edits. Be sure you can realistically complete the work within this timeframe. If the due date seems tight, consider messaging the brand before submitting your bid. |
Brand | The name of the brand commissioning the project. |
Bid | The total compensation for the project. |
Project Description | A detailed overview from the brand outlining:
This is one of the most important sections to read closely when deciding whether to bid and when writing your pitch. |
File Manager | A shared space where you and the brand can upload and access files throughout the project. At the bidding stage, this may include reference materials like example videos, mood boards, or scripts. Make sure to review all files provided. |
Services | A breakdown of the production tasks included in the project, typically split into:
Each service may include notes or references from the brand. Once awarded, you’ll submit each service for review. |
Deliverables | This section outlines what final assets are required, including format, aspect ratio, and video length. Double-check that these match your capabilities before committing to a project. |
If a project aligns with your capabilities, you can move on to preparing your bid.
How to
Open the project opportunity.
Review the project description, services, deliverables, due date, and recommend bid amount. Make sure you can deliver what’s being asked for.
Build your bid.
Each bid will include the following components:
Bid amount: You’ll propose the rate you’d like to earn. We recommend bidding within the recommended bid (or up to the maximum bid).
Pitch: Tailor your pitch to speak directly to the brand. If the brand’s notes differ from the package details (for example, requesting more talent or locations than the service includes), clarify what you can deliver within the existing budget and scope. Emphasize your creative vision and relevant experience. Your goal is to show how you’ll bring the brief to life while staying aligned with the package parameters.
⚠️ Warning: Do not include cost breakdowns or line items in your pitch.
Video examples: Add relevant samples from your portfolio or upload new work. Choose pieces that highlight your ability to meet the brand’s goals (style, tone, platform, industry, etc.).
Submit or save your bid.
Not ready to finalize? Save it as a draft and come back later. Once submitted, you’ll receive a notification if the project is awarded to you.
📝 Note: Need to make changes to your bid? You can switch it back to draft, make your edits, and resubmit.
Pro Tips
To make your bid stand out, follow the best practices below.
Best Practice | Description |
Pitch | Don’t copy/paste generic text. Show the brand you understand the ask and have a creative point of view. A thoughtful, specific pitch can go a long way. ⚠️ Warning: Do not include personal or business contact information in your pitch or bio section of your bid. |
Video Examples | Only include samples that are directly relevant to the project. Call out why each one is a good match - whether it’s tone, storytelling, platform, or industry. |
Grammar & Content Check | Proofread your pitch and double-check your video links or uploads. A polished bid reflects professionalism. |
