Brand partnerships
Put your product in front of people deciding what to use next.
Partner with Carlos Gil + The Best Network for creator-led campaigns that combine social attention with evergreen buyer-intent content.
The model
- Social gets attention.
- Editorial creates discovery.
- Affiliate captures performance.
How the model works
Most sponsored posts disappear from the feed by dinner.
We pair creator distribution with evergreen editorial and affiliate attribution, so a campaign doesn't end when the post scrolls away. The social layer creates the moment. The editorial layer keeps earning attention from buyers searching later.
Attention
Social gets attention.
Creator posts reach buyers where they already spend their time — but a feed post has a shelf life measured in hours.
Discovery
Editorial creates discovery.
A review or comparison keeps working long after the campaign ends, catching people at the moment they're deciding what to use next.
Performance
Affiliate captures performance.
Tracked links tie the editorial placement to real signups, so the campaign keeps producing measurable upside over time.

A real example
Creator video and evergreen editorial, published as one campaign.
Our Gamma work pairs a creator-led walkthrough video with a full editorial guide on BestStacked. The video does the demonstrating; the article does the ranking, the context, and the long-tail discovery. Read it: How to use Gamma with ChatGPT, alongside the Gamma review. The same structure runs on our Adobe Express series.

Watch
A creator-led video shows the product doing real work.
02

03
Engage

Paid partnerships fund content — not the verdict.
Brands cannot purchase positive reviews, favorable scores, guaranteed rankings, or guaranteed recommendations.
Sponsored features are clearly labeled as sponsored, every time.
Affiliate compensation is additional performance upside. It never determines an editorial verdict.
Scores come from hands-on testing, documented in our published methodology.
