A web application built with Vue.js frontend and Flask backend that connects influencers with sponsors for campaign collaborations.
The home page of InfluConnect welcomes users with a clean and intuitive design. Built with Vue.js, it highlights the platform's core features, making it easy for sponsors and influencers to understand the value of the platform at a glance.
InfluConnect ensures secure access with its user-friendly signup and signin pages. Whether you're a sponsor, influencer, or admin, the authentication process is smooth and hassle-free, powered by JWT token-based security.
The Sponsor Dashboard, built with Vue.js, is the control center for sponsors. From here, sponsors can create, manage, and track campaigns, search for influencers, and handle ad requests—all in one place.
Sponsors can search for influencers based on niche, category, and reach. The intuitive filtering system ensures sponsors find the right influencers for their campaigns.
The Ad Requests feature allows sponsors to send collaboration requests to influencers. Influencers can respond with acceptance, rejection, or negotiation, making the process transparent and efficient.
Sponsors can export campaign data directly to their email, ensuring they have all the information they need to analyze and optimize their campaigns.
The Influencer Dashboard empowers influencers to manage their profiles, browse campaigns, and respond to ad requests. It’s designed to help influencers maximize their reach and engagement.
The Admin Dashboard provides administrators with the tools to manage the platform effectively. From user management to campaign oversight, admins have full control to ensure the platform runs smoothly.
