Promote your brand
Describe your brand, the audience you want to reach and your budget.
Post a brand opportunityA Pioneer is anyone with something they want promoted who’s looking for an audience, traction and sales. A product, a book, an app, a brand, a service, an event, anything. Post what you need on ZOMZEY and the right people come to you with real offers.

Most people hit the same wall. The product is ready, the page is live, but nothing happens. Paid ads burn through budget without converting. Cold messages go unanswered. Marketing agencies want four and five figure retainers before they will even take your call. ZOMZEY is built for exactly this gap. Post what you need and connect directly with the people who can genuinely move it, influencers, shops, venues, podcasters and communities, and you only pay when there is a real fit. No retainers. No guesswork. No spraying your message across a cold inbox list and hoping.
Post your opportunity and describe what you have, who it is for, and the kind of attention you are looking for: reviews, features, social posts, in-store placement, event slots, anything that fits. The right Influencers and Hubs see your opportunity and submit priced offers to work with you. You review the offers, accept the ones that fit your goals and budget, and ZOMZEY handles the money safely through Protected Payments, powered by PayPal and Stripe. Your work gets promoted, the Influencer or Hub gets paid, and ZOMZEY takes a small commission to keep the platform running. No retainers, no upfront agency fees, no surprises.
You stay in control. Every offer is yours to accept or decline. You are not buying a vague service or signing a retainer, you are choosing the specific people and communities that fit what you are promoting and what you want to achieve. The matches happen because the Influencer or Hub has genuinely opted in to your opportunity, not because someone was paid to push you at an audience that was never right for you. Every partner on ZOMZEY carries a verified track record, so you can see what they have actually delivered before you commit a penny.

Sign up free as a Pioneer and post your first opportunity in minutes. Let those offers come in and choose the offers that really fit what you need.
Anything legal that needs an audience: a book, a product, an app, a course, a brand, a service, an event or a release. The opportunity says what you want promoted, who you want to reach, the deliverable and the budget range, and the Acceptable Use Policy sets the limits.
Nothing to join and nothing to post. Pioneers pay no commission; you fund only the deals you accept, under Protected Payments, and the money is released when you approve the delivery. Memberships are for Influencers, Hubs and agencies, not for Pioneers, so what is a Pioneer charged for membership? Nothing.
Build a profile people understand, post one clear opportunity, and compare the offers that arrive in the Prospect Centre on fit, validated figures and reviews rather than on price alone. The free Campaign Brief Generator turns a rough idea into a brief in minutes.
Making sure every paid or gifted promotion is clearly labelled as an ad. In the UK the brand shares that responsibility with the Influencer, as the ASA and CMA Influencers’ Guide explains, so build the label into the brief and every partner applies it.
The written agreement on the deal page, the Protected Payment that is only released on approval, the evidence uploaded before release, validated social figures, reviews from completed deals and the dispute process if something goes wrong. What is a Pioneer’s risk on a first deal? The fee for that one deal, and only once the work is approved.
Invite the partners you already have in mind who are not members yet, such as a bookshop, a venue or an Influencer. When they join, the opportunity, the offer and the Protected Payment work exactly as they do for existing members. What is a Pioneer’s advantage with Beacon? Partners who already know and trust you.
A business that both promotes its own products and sells reach it already has, such as a shop that launches its own range. Choose the account type that matches most of what you will do, and the help centre explains how account types work if you are unsure. What is a Pioneer account best for? Promoting; a Hub account is best for selling reach.
The single record of a deal: the accepted offer, the agreed changes, the evidence, the approval and the payment. Everything a Pioneer and a partner need to settle a question is on that page rather than in scattered messages.
One well matched Influencer and one local Hub, funded separately, with a tracked link or code for each, so that the results can be read on their own and the next brief gets sharper.
In short, what is a Pioneer? The person with something worth promoting, who posts what they need and lets the right Influencers, shops and communities come to them, with the deal recorded and the payment protected.
A Pioneer is any member who posts what they need: an author, a brand, a musician, a founder or anyone else with work to place. The same person can post a need and also list a service, because ZOMZEY is for everyone.
Is Pioneer another word for author?
No. Authors are one kind of Pioneer.
Can a Pioneer also be a Hub?
Yes, if they also host or sell a service.
Do I need an agency plan?
No. Paid agency plans are optional.
