When to use each
- Use OVO Talent when brands already reach out, you want steadier, better-paid campaigns, and you would rather someone else handle the paperwork and payment.
- Use Aspire when you want to see lots of open campaigns at once, filter them by category and compensation type, and choose which to apply for.
- Use both when you want a steady source of brought-in campaigns and a place to pick up extra work between them. Many creators run a marketplace like Aspire alongside OVO Talent.
What the day to day feels like
