Aspire makes collaborating with brands simple by giving you one place to manage content submissions, revisions, and live posts. You’ll do everything through your brief, which will be sent via email from the brand you're working with.

You can also access your briefs anytime by logging into your Creator Portal. For an overview of Aspire's Creator Portal, see this article.
