Better Bounty & Creator Matching
August 30, 2026
Owner-only matching now connects each bounty with verified creator channels that meet its platform and audience requirements, then prioritizes category overlap and audience fit.
Creators also see public bounties matched to the selected channel on their own profile. Each recommendation starts from the exact bounty or channel being viewed, with a filtered browse link when they want to explore more.

A New Collaboration Workspace
August 28, 2026
Collaboration pages now bring the full campaign into one focused workspace. The redesigned progress line, participant summary, conversation, shared files, payment, and publication steps all stay together from the first message to the completed collaboration.
Messages, decisions, and processed media now appear in one activity feed. The current action stays easy to find, while the details rail keeps the target channel, reward, published post, participants, and collaboration guidelines close at hand.

A New My Collaborations Page
August 25, 2026
My Collaborations is now a clearer workspace for tracking every active campaign. Each row brings the bounty, creator and channel, start date, reward, and full collaboration progress together in one view.
The new progress line shows what has already happened and what comes next. Yellow markers highlight steps that need your attention, while filters for status, bounty, creator or channel, and action required make it easy to focus on the collaborations that matter right now.
-
A New Bounty Page
August 21, 2026
Bounty pages have been redesigned to make a campaign easier to understand at a glance. The brand, reward, minimum audience, target platforms, and campaign fit now lead the page in one clear summary.
Campaign assets now use a thumbnail-led carousel, while the new sidebar gives each visitor the action that matters to them: request a collaboration, choose a matching channel, or manage an owned bounty. Brand information and a concise overview of the collaboration process complete the new layout.
Explore the refreshed experience in the bounty directory.

A New Create Bounty Experience
August 18, 2026
Creating a bounty now follows a clearer, guided layout. Brand details, creator targeting, the audience and offer, and the creative brief are grouped into focused sections so it is easier to see what creators need.
A live bounty-card preview updates while you work, and a readiness checklist shows what is still required. Every new bounty continues to begin as a private draft for review before publication.

Messages for Collaboration Requests
August 16, 2026
Creators and brands can now add an optional message when sending a collaboration request or making a counter-offer. Share an introduction, clarify the proposed content, or explain the thinking behind a different offer before the other party responds.
Request and counter-offer messages stay together throughout the offer exchange and carry into the collaboration conversation when an offer is accepted.

Zero-Dollar Bounties
August 15, 2026
Brands can now offer a $0 bounty reward instead of the previous $100 minimum. This supports gifted-product, community, portfolio, and other collaborations that do not include a cash reward.
Reward $0 -
Brand Logos for Bounties
August 7, 2026
Brands can now upload and save multiple logos, give each one a recognizable label, and select the right logo for each bounty. The selected logo appears alongside the brand name on bounty cards, making campaigns easier to recognize while browsing.
Logos can be created directly while creating or editing a bounty, or managed from the new brand logo settings. Deleting a logo shows how many bounties use it and, after confirmation, removes it from those bounties without deleting them.
-
Demographics
July 24, 2026
Brands can now request private audience demographics when inviting a creator to collaborate. Creators can approve that request or proactively include demographics access when applying to a bounty, helping both sides confirm audience fit before moving forward.
Shared YouTube Analytics include age and gender distribution plus top countries by views for the last 90 days. Access is always controlled by the creator and can be revoked at any time from Demographics Access.
