The Sponsorship & Brand Deal Tracker in Google Sheets is a brand deal tracker for creators who juggle sponsors across YouTube, Instagram, podcasts, TikTok and blogs. One page holds a 16-column deal log, a Total Deal Value card and 4 live charts. Five columns calculate themselves, so you always see what each brand still owes you and which deliverables are due next. Setup takes minutes: make your copy, check the List tab and replace the 15 sample deals.

🔑 Key Features of the Brand Deal Tracker
🤝 Every sponsorship in one log. Each row holds Brand / Sponsor, Platform, Deal Type, Deal Value, Amount Received, Deliverables, Delivered, Start Date, Due Date, Status and Notes. The sample covers YouTube, Instagram, Podcast, TikTok and Blog deals, from sponsored videos and dedicated posts to product reviews, story / reel packages, brand ambassador contracts, affiliate splits and giveaways.
🔄 Five deal stages. Status moves a deal from Negotiating to Active to Delivered to Paid, with On Hold for anything frozen. The Deal Count by Status chart shows how much of your pipeline is still unsigned or unpaid.
🧮 Five columns calculate themselves. Deal ID, Balance Due (Deal Value minus Amount Received), % Complete (Delivered ÷ Deliverables), Days Left and Payment are formulas, so nobody retypes a balance or works out progress by hand.
💵 Payment status at a glance. The Payment column reads Paid, Partial or Unpaid from what has actually been received, so a half-paid ambassador deal never gets mistaken for a closed one.
⏳ Due date countdown. Days Left counts down to each Due Date and flags Due Soon and Overdue, so a late deliverable stands out before a brand has to chase you.
📊 Total Deal Value card plus 4 charts. Deal Count by Platform, Deal Count by Status, Deal Value by Brand and Deal Value vs Amount Received read the data columns directly (rows 16-1000), with no hidden helper tables.
🗂️ Dropdowns that grow with you. Platform, Deal Type and Status pull from the List tab (rows 2-500). Add a new platform or deal type there and it appears in the dropdown instantly.
📦 What’s Inside the Sponsorship & Brand Deal Tracker
The file has the tracker sheet, a List tab for dropdown values, a How to Use tab and an Explore More Templates tab.

The top band shows the Total Deal Value card ($33.0K across the 15 sample deals) and four charts: Deal Count by Platform, Deal Count by Status, Deal Value by Brand and Deal Value vs Amount Received. Below them is the colour-coded deal log with sample sponsors such as Squarespace, NordVPN, Audible, Notion, Adobe and Nike, starting between April and September 2026. % Complete is shaded green, and Days Left, Status and Payment carry their own colours.

👥 Who This Template Is For – and Who It’s Not For
✅ This template is built for:
- YouTubers, podcasters, Instagram and TikTok creators and bloggers with several sponsors a year
- Talent managers and small creator agencies tracking deals for a handful of clients
- Freelance content producers who need to see what each brand still owes them
❌ This template is NOT for:
- Brands or agencies running large influencer campaigns with reach and engagement analytics. It tracks deal money and deliverables, not campaign performance.
- Anyone expecting invoices, contracts or payments to sync automatically. Every amount is typed in.
⚙️ How to Use the Brand Deal Tracker
- Open the PDF in your download and click the link to make your own copy in Google Drive.
- On the List tab, check the platforms, deal types and statuses, and add any you use.
- Replace sample rows 16-30 with your deals: brand, platform, deal type, deal value, deliverables, start date, due date and status.
- When a payment lands, update Amount Received. When you post a deliverable, raise Delivered.
- Set Status to Delivered once the work is done and Paid once the invoice clears. The card and all 4 charts refresh instantly.
💼 Real-World Use Cases
Maya runs a tech YouTube channel with a podcast on the side. She logs every sponsor read and integration as its own row. Deal Value vs Amount Received shows at a glance which brands have paid in full and which still owe the second half of a split fee.
Jordan manages three lifestyle creators. He keeps one shared copy per creator, uses a filter view to pull up Negotiating deals before his weekly calls and watches Days Left for any deliverable that turns Overdue.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Sponsorship & Brand Deal Tracker in Google Sheets track?
It tracks each deal’s brand, platform, deal type, deal value, amount received, deliverables, delivered count, start date, due date, status and notes. It calculates Deal ID, Balance Due, % Complete, Days Left and Payment, and summarises everything in a Total Deal Value card and four charts.
How long does setup take?
Usually a few minutes. Make your copy from the PDF link, adjust the List tab and replace the 15 sample rows. Formulas and charts already cover rows 16 to 1000.
Can I use a currency other than dollars?
Yes. Select Deal Value, Amount Received and Balance Due and change the number format to ₹, €, £ or any currency through Format > Number.
Is this the same as the Sponsorship KPI Dashboard?
No. The Sponsorship KPI Dashboard in Google Sheets is a separate KPI dashboard template, and the Corporate Sponsorship Request Tracker in Google Sheets handles incoming sponsorship requests for organisations. This tracker is built for creators managing paid brand deals.
Does it send invoices or reminders?
No. It is a spreadsheet: Days Left and Payment highlight what needs attention, but invoices and follow-up emails are sent from your own tools.
