Brand deals without the ghosting
Nano, micro and mid-tier creators in Canada and the US. You set your own rates, we bring briefs that fit them, and nothing gets made before there is a contract. No application fee and no exclusivity.
- You set the rate card. We do not quote a number you have not agreed to.
- A written contract every time: deliverables, deadline, usage rights, payment terms.
- We check the brand before we bring you their brief.
- A public profile on this site is optional, not a condition.
The part nobody says out loud
Below about 250,000 followers the market treats creators badly, and it is structural rather than personal.
What happens now
- A brand asks for free content and calls it exposure.
- You send a rate and the thread goes silent.
- There is no contract, so usage creeps and nobody planned for it.
- The invoice is paid sixty days late, chased three times, or not at all.
- Agencies will not represent you until you are already big enough not to need them.
What we do instead
- Briefs arrive with a budget already confirmed in writing by the brand.
- Your rate is the rate. We hold it, or we tell the brand it is not a fit.
- Contract first: deliverables, dates, revisions, usage window, disclosure, payment terms.
- We check the company is real and can pay before you hear about it.
- Size is not a barrier. Fit, reliability and a genuine audience are.
The roster, and what it is not
There is one arrangement and it is the same for everyone on the list.
Free, no exclusivity
You go on a list we actually use. When a brief matches your niche, platform, audience and rate, we come to you first and you say yes or no.
- No fee of any kind
- No exclusivity, no notice period
- You approve every deal before it exists
- We write the contract and chase the invoice
What we do not do
We commission work. We do not represent you, find deals for you, or take a percentage of anything you earn elsewhere.
- No representation to brands or anyone else
- No cut of deals you close yourself, ever
- A fee offered in writing for each specific job, which you accept or decline
- The agreement you would sign
The clause that costs creators the most money
Late and missing payment is the most common complaint in this industry, and it is usually written into the contract rather than an accident.
Pay-when-paid
Also called sequential liability. It says the agency only owes you once the brand has paid the agency. It turns you into the agency’s lender, and it is the single most common reason a creator waits months for money they already earned.
Surveys of creator payments repeatedly find that a large minority have been paid late for sponsored work, and a meaningful share have never been paid at all for something they delivered. It is not rare and it is not only small brands.
What we do instead
- No pay-when-paid clause. It does not appear in a contract we write, and we will not run a campaign for a brand that insists on one.
- A date, not a condition. Your payment is tied to you delivering, not to somebody else’s finance cycle.
- The brand agrees the terms before you make anything. That is part of the checks we run on the brand, not an afterthought.
- Usage and whitelisting are priced up front. Nobody comes back afterwards asking to run your content as an ad for free.
- We chase it. Following up on a late invoice is our job, not something you should be doing from your own inbox.
If you take nothing else from this page: read any contract for the words pay when paid, paid if paid or sequential liability before you sign it, whoever the deal is with. Ours or anyone else’s.
Tell us about your channel
Six short steps. The rate questions matter most: a brief that arrives without a rate attached is how creators end up negotiating against themselves.
What creators ask us
Am I too small?
Probably not. We work with nano (1,000+), micro and mid-tier creators on purpose, because that is the tier brands with real budgets can afford and the tier most agencies ignore. What matters more than follower count is whether your audience is real, whether it is in a market the brand sells to, and whether you deliver on time.
Does it cost anything?
No. No application fee, no monthly fee, no charge to be on the roster, and nothing taken from work you found yourself. When we commission you, the fee we offer in writing is the fee you are paid, in full, within seven days of the work being approved.
Do I have to be exclusive to you?
No. Being on the roster does not stop you working with anyone else, including other agencies. You can pause or leave by sending one email, with no notice period.
Will you push me to lower my rate?
We will tell you honestly if a rate is out of line with your tier and niche, because that is useful information. We will not quote a brand a number you have not agreed to, and we will not negotiate you downward without asking you first.
What does verification involve?
A person reviews your recent posts, calculates engagement across them, looks at your follower growth pattern, asks for a screenshot of your audience geography from your own analytics, and confirms you can invoice. The whole checklist is published so there are no surprises.
Do I have to have a public profile on your site?
No, and most creators do not. Being put forward for briefs and having a public profile page are two separate permissions on the application form. You can take one and not the other.
What if a brand does not pay?
You are not paid by the brand. You are paid by us, within seven days of the work being approved, and that date does not move if the brand is slow to pay us, because we carry that risk rather than you. We also check that the company is real and has confirmed its budget in writing before any creator is approached, and there are no pay-when-paid clauses anywhere in the agreement.
How long until I hear back?
Five business days. If we are not a fit we say so plainly rather than leaving you on a list.
