Brand Deal Live
Real pitches. Real budgets. Decided on your stage.
Brand Deal Live is a ~40 minute conference format where vetted creators pitch senior marketers and brands say what they would actually pay. Brands decide what to advance after the pitch. Nothing is binding on stage.
Coming to VidSummit
Brand Deal Live is coming to VidSummit on Wednesday, September 30, 2026 at 4:00 PM (Grand Ballroom 1) in Dallas, TX. Apply to pitch.
How Brand Deal Live works
- Creator steps to the mic: their verified channel data is ready for the room, and may appear on screen if the stage format supports it.
- Thirty-second pitch: who they are, who watches, and what they want to build with the brand.
- Brands respond in the room: senior marketers ask real questions and say what they would actually pay.
- Deal, counter, or coaching: brands decide what they want to advance after the pitch. Nothing is binding on stage.
Every creator is vetted before they reach the stage
Creators apply in advance. Sponsara pulls their recent upload performance, verifies it against the platform rather than a screenshot, and generates a card showing reach, audience makeup, engagement quality, brand-safety read, and a fair market rate range. To qualify, a creator must have completed at least one paid brand deal or be averaging 50,000+ views per post. Every brand on the panel receives all creator cards 48 hours before the session.
Built for live conference stages
Brand Deal Live is a repeatable 40-45 minute session designed for creator, marketing, advertising, media, technology, and business conferences. One host, four to five senior brand decision-makers, 13 vetted creator pitches at 30 seconds each, and up to $25K of creator budget committed per participating brand.
