Partnership Ads allow brands to run paid ads directly from a creator’s Instagram handle, helping scale collaborations and extend content reach beyond organic audiences.
Important: Partnership Ads are initiated by the brand. The brand sends a request via Meta’s Ads Manager to promote your content, and you should receive a notification about this directly on your Instagram account.
This is different from granting Vamp partner access to boost content on behalf of a brand, which is an arrangement between Vamp and the brand. If the brand chooses to allow Vamp to boost content for them, creators should follow the separate guide:
How to Grant Vamp Partner Access for Instagram Post Boosting
Why You’ll Love It
With properly executed Partnership Ads, creators can:
Amplify content reach with paid promotion
Strengthen brand relationships
Receive more visibility while the brand manages ad spend
Ensure campaigns run smoothly without manual back-and-forth
How Partnership Ads Work
You post the campaign content on Instagram.
You tag the brand as a Paid Partner.
The brand initiates a Partnership Ads request via Meta Ads Manager.
You approve the request within Instagram.
The brand runs ads from your handle for up to 60 days.
After 60 days, boosting rights expire unless the brand purchases extended usage through the Vamp platform.
Meta Permissions Required
Creators must grant the following Meta permission when connecting their Instagram account to Vamp:
“Access or Modify Instagram Creator’s Branded Content Settings”
This allows the brand to boost your content via Meta Ads Manager for the campaign duration. Vamp has automated this process in partnership with Meta to reduce manual steps and make it easier for creators to participate in campaigns.
Key Requirements for Partnership Ads
1. Tag the Brand Correctly
Tag the brand as a Paid Partner (e.g., “Paid Partnership with @brandname”).
Without this tag, the brand cannot run the ad.
2. Music Guidelines
Use music from The Facebook Sound Collection (royalty-free).
Instagram content can now be boosted with copyrighted music in many cases — check eligibility before posting.
3. Content Restrictions
No face effects or filters before or after filming
No carousel posts (multiple images/videos in one post)
Reels must be ≤60 seconds
Maximum 30 hashtags per caption
Stories cannot be carousel format
-
Maximum 5 interactive elements (location, hashtag, tappable text, @mention stickers, etc.)
Or use one countdown sticker instead
Best Practices
Avoid excessive emojis, GIFs, polls, or multiple stickers
Keep creative simple for optimal ad performance
Avoid overly complex editing tools
