What do you actually buy when you promote an entry?
Contest promotion buys planned visibility and campaign work, not a place in the final results. The work can cover paid advertising, creative and copy, creator outreach, consent-based community or email outreach, and a review of the contest rules.
The right mix starts with the entry, the people you want to reach, and the actions a supporter must complete to vote. If you have not selected a channel, share the contest link and audience details first; the plan can compare options such as paid contest promotion, campaign creative and copy, or creator outreach. Rules review can be requested on its own through contest rules and risk consulting.
Before the first placement, gather:
- The contest page and full rules, including any limits on outside promotion.
- A direct link to your entry and the voting instructions supporters will see.
- The closing date, target audience, available creative, and any required approvals.
We do not sell votes, followers or engagement, and we do not use bots, scripts, fake accounts or click farms. Promotion uses white-hat methods in line with platform rules and contest rules.
What should you check about controls, spend and updates?
The useful checks are practical: confirm promotion is permitted, make voting steps easy to explain, and agree what will be reported before work starts. These details help you assess a plan without treating campaign activity as a promise about contest results.
Ad spend is paid to the advertising platform separately from the agency fee. The quote depends on the channels, countries, campaign duration and amount of creative or outreach involved; it is confirmed in writing before work begins. During delivery, reporting can distinguish platform activity—such as spend, reach and clicks—from the vote count shown on the contest page. That way, you can see what the campaign delivered without presenting platform analytics as proof of votes.
A contest organizer decides whether an entry follows its rules, and an advertising platform controls its ad review and delivery; neither decision is ours to make. If the rules prohibit outside promotion, we decline the work, and we do not help anyone bypass email, login, captcha, phone or other voting checks. For a deeper look, see our voting protection guide and no-bots policy.

Frequently asked questions
What can your team take off my plate for a single entry?
We can plan paid ads, produce campaign creative and copy, coordinate creator outreach, arrange consent-based community or email outreach, and review the contest rules. You can request a focused task or a combined plan; the scope is agreed before work begins.
Can I ask for a rules review without running ads?
Yes. Rules and risk consulting can be a standalone request, as can creative or copy. Share the contest page and complete rules so the review can identify relevant restrictions before you choose whether to promote the entry.
What is paid to the ad platform, and what is paid to your team?
The advertising budget goes to the platform; the agency fee covers the agreed planning and campaign work. The quote depends on the requested channels, duration, geography and deliverables. You receive the written quote before work starts.
What has to be approved before the first placement?
The contest rules, entry link, creative and campaign plan need to be checked, and you need to approve the materials before launch. The actual start also depends on the deadline, required permissions and the platform's ad review.
Can you recommend a channel if I have not picked one?
Yes. Send the contest link, rules, entry materials and a description of the audience you hope to reach. We will assess suitable options based on those details rather than ask you to choose a platform without context.
Does email verification change the message supporters see?
It should. If a vote needs an email confirmation, account sign-in or another step, campaign copy should explain that clearly so supporters know what to expect and can finish the process themselves. We never help people get around a voting check.
What permissions are needed when a participant is under 18?
A parent or guardian must agree to the entry and its promotion. The campaign also needs to follow the platform's age and privacy rules. If the required consent is not available, we do not proceed.
How do updates distinguish ad activity from votes?
Updates report platform activity separately from the public counter on the contest page. For example, spend, reach and clicks come from the platform's analytics, while the entry page shows its own vote count. They are different measures and should stay clearly labeled.
What happens if the organizer changes the rules mid-campaign?
Pause the affected promotion and share the updated wording with us. We will reassess the plan against the new rules before any further work on that activity. If outside promotion is no longer allowed, we stop rather than work around the restriction.
Can you promote a Web3 contest without discussing token value?
Yes. We can focus on the contest entry, its audience, participation instructions and permitted promotion channels. We do not make claims about token price, profit or returns. See the page on crypto, NFT and Web3 contests for more context.
What outcome can you commit to when votes are decided by the contest?
We commit to the work agreed in writing, its reporting and honest projections clearly identified as projections. We do not promise a win, vote total, ranking or result: supporters decide whether to vote, and the contest organizer determines the outcome.
