We hand-picked the Founding Forty group from dozens of applicants across the region. They're creators we've built real relationships with and love working alongside. Check out the recap from our launch party!
Creators apply to join the Collective, and our team reviews every application. Once they're in, the relationship goes beyond one-off brand deals. Members get first access to paid opportunities, in-person meetups, virtual sessions with our team, and workshops built around what creators actually want to learn.
Members can work in one track or several:
Content Creation: UGC-style videos and content made for brands to post on their own channels.
Influencer: Collaborations where creators share content with their own audiences.
Casting: On-screen talent for brand shoots, events, and activations.
First access to client partnerships. When a brand opportunity comes up, members hear about it first and can apply to be part of it.
Community. In-person meetups and a private online space to connect with other creators.
Learning. Virtual and in-person sessions on the topics members ask for.
A real relationship. A team that knows you, your work, and what you do best.
The hardest part of creator marketing is finding the right person. A follower count won't tell you who shows up on time, takes direction well, or actually fits your brand. The Collective gives our clients a roster of creators we already know. We've worked with them, and we can match them to a campaign based on more than a profile.
If you're a brand interested in working with Collective creators, get in touch.
The Collective is currently closed to new members, but we're planning to grow it. Join the waitlist to become a Creator Collective member here.
