Applications & Partnerships
Applying to a brand, how long it takes, and what a decision means.
How Do Brand Applications Work?
There are two ways to ask a brand for product on onbrand:
How Do I Get Free Products?
There's no form to request free samples. On onbrand there are two ways to get products:
What Makes a Strong Request?
Brands choose events they can picture their product at. A strong request makes that easy:
How Will I Know If I'm Approved?
If a brand approves your proposal: You'll receive an email notification A conversation will open in in-platform chat
I Haven't Heard Back — Is This Normal?
Yes. Brands review proposals based on their current priorities, product availability, and overall fit.
Can I Edit or Reapply to an Application?
Open applications can be edited (editing is no longer available once an application is declined, completed, or expired). To edit: log in, go to Partnerships, click the three dots on the concerned brand, choose Edit, update the information, and Save. Once declined, applications can't be reopened To try the same brand again, send a new request for a different event. You can apply to other brands with the same event at any time.
How Do I Cancel a Partnership Request?
Go to Partnerships Click the three dots on the brand's card and choose Cancel Optionally add a reason, then click Yes, Cancel Proposal
Can I Refute or Dispute a Denial? What Does 'Not Selected' Mean?
Once a brand declines a proposal (you may see this as "not selected"), the decision is final and onbrand cannot reverse it. The brand reviews submissions based on their current campaign needs, product availability, and creator/event fit.
Can I Message a Brand After Submitting a Proposal?
Messaging becomes available only after a brand approves your partnership request. Once approved, an in-platform chat is activated where you can communicate directly with the brand.
What Does 'Proposal Creation Blocked' Mean?
If you see 'proposal creation blocked,' it means your account has a pending requirement that must be resolved before submitting new partnership requests.
How Do I Get Brands to Sponsor My Event?
On onbrand, brands sponsor events with product. You list the event you're already planning and apply to the brands you'd like there; if a brand says yes, it ships product to you for free.
