Avid Collective

Direct media partnerships

One brief. Every partner worth talking to.

Collab Platform is the shared workspace where you and your media partners plan, brief and run the work in one view.

The category

The channel readers choose to read.

The channel covers branded content, sponsorships, editorial integrations, talent-led campaigns, custom formats, video, audio and events. Buyers still run them by email, one partner at a time. Collab Platform puts that work in one place.

What you can do

Find the partner, brief them, compare the responses and run the work in one place.

  1. 01

    Discover partners

    Publisher profiles, case studies and live opportunities across 600+ media brands in Australia and the UK, in front of you while you are still planning.

  2. 02

    Brief once

    One structured brief to one partner or many. You set what every response has to include, so the replies come back in a shape you can compare.

  3. 03

    Compare side by side

    The KPI grid lines responses up. The AI Compare tool reads them for you and scores them. The final call is always yours.

  4. 04

    Deliver together

    Both sides see the same stages, so approvals, drafts and go-live dates stop living in email threads.

  5. 05

    Measure

    One report across every partner, so you can answer whether the content worked.

The relationships stay yours.

Collab Platform does not trade media, and nobody buys through it. Every partner on it is a media owner you approach directly, and their sales teams stay in the conversation.

What agencies say

Less back and forth, more visibility.

  • The platform made implementing our recent branded content campaign so easy. Its intuitive task management and production tools ensured all steps were completed on time, and all stakeholders had full visibility across every stage of the process.

    Jo Marini

    Client Director, Initiative

    Initiative
  • Managing everything through the platform took the back and forth out of discussions and approvals and significantly improves the ease of running content campaigns.

    Olivia Pellegrino

    Investment Manager, Mindshare

    Mindshare
  • It makes the content partnerships channel more accessible to buyers across the industry, allowing both creative and media teams to elevate it within a brand's media mix, solving real problems for our clients.
