What Is This Guide For?
This guide shows why completing your Profile is essential to being discovered and briefed by Advertisers in the Collab Platform. You’ll learn how a complete profile boosts visibility, credibility, and campaign briefs and best practices to make sure your Profile stands out.
What Is a Publisher Profile?
A Profile is your digital storefront inside the Collab Platform, giving Advertisers a clear, structured view of your brand, audience, and offering. It’s designed to represent your full commercial identity, from audience demographics to case studies and active opportunities.
Whether you manage a single brand or have multiple Profiles, this is the space where advertisers explore, discover, and find inspiration for how to work with you.
Why Completing Your Profile Matters
Your Profile is a search-optimised listing in our Explore > Media Owners page within the Collab Platform, which is where Advertisers browse and compare available Profiles.
A fully completed Profile is one that:
Have all of the required fields populated and completed
Strengthens credibility with case studies and product clarity
Encourages engagement through real-time opportunities and “Get in Touch” features
Drives discoverability through tagged filters (category, audience, formats)
Incomplete profiles are harder to find, less likely to generate briefs, and may not appear in Discovery.
How Publisher Discovery Uses Profile Data
A common misconception is that advertisers browse profiles manually. In reality, most use filters on the Explore page.
With many in-market options available, Advertisers rarely type specific titles when searching. When building a shortlist, they narrow results using filters:
Demographics (age, gender)
Audience behaviour - engaged audience archetypes
Advertiser industry category (e.g. alcohol, FMCG, retail, etc)
Channels (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Website, etc)
Your profile’s structured fields fuel these filters, meaning the more complete and tagged your content is, the more often you’ll appear in search results.
Keeping your profile updated is one of the simplest, but most important ways to improve discoverability - and consequently, your chance of getting briefs.
Advertisers can:
Explore your profiles and audience information
Use your case studies to inform campaign briefs
Explore opportunities that you have available for campaign inspiration
This is why profile accuracy and depth matter; you're not just filling in content, you're fuelling how advertisers find and evaluate you.
Key Profile Elements to Include
Maximise visibility and advertiser engagement by ensuring the following are completed:
Audience Insights: Provide demographic, geographic, and interest breakdowns (Engaged Audiences)
Advertiser Categories: Used in filters
Content Example and Case Studies: Show proof of performance - tag them properly for visibility
Opportunities: Pitch your ready-to-brief ideas for current campaigns
Visual Branding: Visually impactful logo and banner to bring your Profile to life
All of this content is displayed through a UX-optimised layout, so every field enhances how your brand(s) is perceived and how often you're found.
