What evidence should a contest campaign leave behind?
A well-run campaign should leave you with records of the work, not just a verbal update. We document the agreed activity and share the information available from the channels used, so you can see what was prepared, published or delivered.
The format depends on the work in scope. For example, records may include approved creative, ad setup and platform reporting, links to published outreach, and notes on what was changed during the campaign. Our Evidence Pack brings the relevant materials together for review. Ask at kickoff which records match your plan and who on your team needs access.
Before promotion, prepare:
- The contest page, entry link and complete rules.
- The voting steps, including any confirmation or login requirements.
- The deadline and its time zone, plus the audience you want to reach.
- Any approved images, video, brand guidance and existing channel access.
The contest promotion overview explains the available work, while the campaign methodology describes how we turn the rules and materials into a plan. We do not use bots, scripts, fabricated profiles or click farms, and we do not provide purchased votes, followers or engagement. Promotion follows white-hat methods and the rules set by the contest and each platform. The organizer controls how entries are judged and validated, and ad platforms control their own review and delivery; we commit to the agreed work and reporting, not to a placing, vote total or result.
For a first review, send your contest link, rules, entry link and deadline through the free contest analysis.
Frequently asked questions
What can I check while promotion is running?
You can review the campaign activity included in your agreed scope, such as platform reporting, approved creative and links to published outreach. We clarify at kickoff which records are available for each channel and share updates in the agreed reporting format.
Can I ask for creative or rules advice without buying ads?
Yes. Creative and copy, rules and risk consulting, creator outreach, and community or email outreach can be scoped separately from paid promotion. Tell us which part you need and share the contest rules so we can assess it. See contest creative and copy for that work.
How do you decide whether a promotion channel fits my contest?
We start with the contest rules, the voting journey and the people you hope to reach. Then we consider which channels can carry the message and what materials are available. The platform guide is useful when you want to compare channel-specific options.
What if the voting page asks people to verify their vote?
We make the voting steps clear in the campaign message and plan reminders around them. Verification may involve email, an account, a captcha, a phone code or another step specified by the contest. We do not help anyone bypass a protection measure; see the guide to voting protection types.
How much should I set aside for promotion?
The quote depends on the channels, campaign scope, duration and creative work required. Advertising spend is paid to the platform separately from our agency fee. Share your contest details and priorities, and we will confirm the proposed scope and quote in writing before work begins.
What needs to be ready before the campaign can start?
We need the contest rules, entry link, voting instructions and deadline before recommending activity. Approved images or video, relevant account access and your preferred audience also help with setup. If anything important is missing, we identify it during the review rather than guessing.
When should I expect promotion to begin?
The start date follows the rules review, material preparation and your approval of the plan and creative. Timing also depends on the deadline you provide and the channels in scope. Share the exact deadline and time zone in your first message so we can assess the available window.
Can you promise a placing or a certain vote total?
No. We agree on specific work and provide the reporting included in the campaign, but the contest organizer controls judging and validation, and audience decisions are their own. We can share projections as projections; they are not a promise of a vote count, ranking or win.
What happens if the contest rules restrict outside promotion?
We read the rules before planning activity. If they prohibit the proposed promotion, we explain the issue and do not run it. If the wording is unclear, we can help you prepare a question for the organizer and wait for a clear response before proceeding.
Can you work on a contest that includes a minor?
Yes, when a parent or guardian agrees to the entry and promotion. We also follow the relevant platform age and privacy rules. Include this detail in your initial message so the review can account for the participant and the contest requirements.
What should I send for a free contest analysis?
Send the contest page, the full rules, your entry link, the voting instructions and the deadline with its time zone. Add your goal and any available creative if you have it. Start with the free contest analysis; we will review the materials and outline the next step.
