WHY IT WORKS

What gets creators discovered and booked.

Treating becoming a digital creator as a path means proving fit over going viral. Creators who know their audience and can show real engagement give brands the data that discovery platforms rank on.

6.1%

Avg engagement rate

Part of what makes creators effective is intimacy of scale: smaller, focused audiences who actually listen when they post.

$280

Avg cost per post

Because results from creators come back quickly and cheaply, marketing becomes iterative rather than one expensive gamble.

68%

Local audience overlap

Creators open doors to specific communities, letting brands reach the right buyers rather than the largest possible crowd.

5 days

Avg time to live

Once the offer is defined, working with creators tends to move from agreement to published post with very little friction.
