How it works

From first call to winning ads.

  1. 01
    A short call

    30 minutes on your product, your budget and who owns the program. Not a fit? We say so on the call.

  2. 02
    We build your brief

    Your intake becomes a live brief page, plus a short video of you introducing the brand to the students.

  3. 03
    Students pick your brand

    A marketplace, not an agency. Students choose the brands they believe in and start making ads.

  4. 04
    AI reviews every ad

    Technical, brand and marketing QA. Only approved ads reach your dashboard.

  5. 05
    You approve and launch

    Approve within 48 hours. Our launcher sends ads straight into your own ad account.

  6. 06
    Winners get paid

    Students earn on the spend their ads get, and we pay them. You scale what works and hire the best.

What they make

Every format your account runs.

Students make image ads, video ads, AI animation ads, AI UGC and song ads. Send us your footage, product shoots and creator content, and they cut new ads from that too.

Why brands join

Three ways you win.

Real creative diversity

Hundreds of people make ads for your brand, each from their own angle. Take what they learn, keep what works and double down on it with your own team.

Creative volume, filtered

Hundreds of ads come through one pipeline, with AI review in the middle. You only see the ones worth testing.

A hiring shortlist

When a student keeps making winners for you, hire them. The bounty is the longest, hardest job interview in ecom.

The deal

What we handle. What you handle.

Ecom Bounty
We handle
  • Building your brief and keeping it up to date
  • Training and managing 1,000+ students
  • Three-layer AI review on every submission
  • An ad launcher that sends approved ads straight into your account
  • Every student payout, end to end
  • A dedicated channel with our team in it
Your brand
You handle
  • One person who owns the program, 5 to 10 hours a week
  • Approving ads within 48 hours
  • Launching fast and judging ads on clear KPIs
  • A test budget, and room to scale it when ads hit
  • Showing up for the students: a Monday check-in, ideas, new winners

Brands that approve fast, launch fast and show up get the most submissions. Brands that go quiet don't. One brand that did all of this joined in April. Four months later, it was spending $100K a day on its bounty campaign alone.

Fit

Built for product-first brands.

✓You sell your own product, one people would buy without an ad. No dropshipping.
✓You need more new creative than your team can make, and your account can test a lot of ads.
✓You can double your ad spend in a month when the ads hit your KPIs.
✓Your backend holds when you scale. Stock, shipping and support don't break if orders double.
✓You have content to work with: product shoots, creator videos, a library of past ads.
✓One person on your team owns the program and shows up in Discord every week.

Not for you if you want to pay, sit back and wait for ads to show up. This is a marketplace, not a service. The brands that treat students like partners are the ones that win here.

Questions

The short answers.

Who makes the ads?

Students trained inside Ecom University, a community of 1,000+ marketers. They pick the brands they believe in, study your brief and compete to make your winners. The ones who keep winning become your hiring shortlist.

Who pays the students?

We do. Student payouts are funded and processed by us. Your costs are the monthly fee and your own ad budget, plus AI credits if you turn on our AI tool.

Can students make AI ads for us?

Yes. Our community has its own AI tool for AI animation, AI UGC and AI b-roll. If you turn it on for your brand, you cover the AI credits and we set a spending limit for every student. If AI ads don't fit your brand, leave it off.

Do the ads run from your account or mine?

Yours. Approved ads go into your own ad account through our ad launcher, and you run them with your own budget. Your data, your customers and your learnings stay yours.

How fast are submissions reviewed?

AI review takes minutes per ad. Approved ads land in your dashboard the same day they're submitted, ready for your final check.

How long does onboarding take?

About 2-3 weeks end to end: the call, intake, brief build, QA setup, test ads, go-live. Your part in that window is roughly an hour of focused input.

Why is there a waitlist?

We onboard a few brands at a time so every brand gets real attention, and we only take brands we think will win. Applications are reviewed weekly. If it looks like a fit, we book the call.
