Why Sponsored Challenges

A new way to connect your brand with real-world presence.

Reward people for being present

Target a cohort of Celery users to put down their phones and be present with friends, family, or coworkers — in return for a reward redeemed through your brand.

Drive awareness and engagement

You set the challenge — be it hours of screen-free time, group presence sessions, or something unique to your brand — and the incentive. Users see the challenge, join it, and their friends see that they've joined. Challenges appear naturally on Celery and are a proven way to promote awareness and build your audience.

A unique way to engage

Challenges are designed to be an authentic way to motivate people to do what matters most — connect with the people around them. Your brand becomes synonymous with presence.

Driving engagement at scale

When users join or hit milestones within a challenge, their friends are notified in the Celery feed. The effect? Organic virality — lots of people join the party.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Sponsored Challenge cost?

Pricing is based on your target audience size, reward type, and campaign duration. Get in touch and we'll scope it with you.

Will users actually redeem rewards?

Users earn rewards through effort, not luck. Earned rewards see significantly higher redemption and brand recall than passive coupon delivery.

Can multiple brands co-sponsor a challenge?

Yes, we often run co-branded challenges. There is typically one lead brand, and we can work with you to structure the partnership.

Can I target specific audiences?

Yes — by age, location, group size, and usage behavior. Celery users skew Gen Z and young millennial, with high concentration in urban markets.

Can you help with creative and assets?

We'll guide you on specs, but typically: a brand logo, reward description, and redemption landing page. Our team handles the in-app experience.

Do you work with agencies?

We're actively partnering with agencies who are rethinking digital spend for their clients. If that's you, let's chat.
