Sponsor Discord servers
A Discord server is where a community actually lives: daily chat, voice, events, roles. Harbor lists 900+ vetted servers whose admins take brand deals: announcement posts, channel sponsorships, event partnerships. Admins are verified, and every deal is escrow-protected.
Why Discord
Gaming, software, crypto, and creator communities have moved their real conversation into Discord. There is no ad unit inside a server. The admin is the channel. Harbor verifies server ownership with a real check and lists honest member counts, so a brand knows the room is real before making an offer.
How it works on Harbor
Describe the audience. Shortlist servers. Negotiate one placement or a campaign across many. Escrow funds before anything posts; money releases when the work is delivered and approved.

Direct answers
How is this different from influencer marketing?
Influencer marketing buys a person's reach. Community marketing buys the room's trust. A gated community is interest-specific, opted-in, and moderated by an admin its members already trust. Harbor lists communities, not creator profiles, and verifies the audience behind every badge it shows.
How much does it cost to sponsor a community post?
Rates are set by each community's admin, shown as "from $X" on listings, and negotiated in the Deal Room. As a worked example of the fee math: on an agreed $700 deal the brand pays $735 total, the creator receives $630, and Harbor keeps $105, 15% overall.
How do I know a community is real?
Harbor checks. Ownership Verified means the person genuinely controls the community. Audience Verified means a Harbor review confirmed the audience. Member counts are always labeled verified or self-reported, and a badge renders only when its underlying check is true. Unclaimed listings say so plainly.
