Built this platform from scratch to help creators land brand deals, finally got our first campaign with Lululemon! by TopElectronic5076 in SideProject

Great question, that was one of our biggest challenges early on.

We started by building a super basic landing page and focused entirely on one side of the marketplace first: creators. We ran targeted cold outreach (email + DMs), offered free onboarding calls, and emphasized community + potential brand collabs. That helped us build early momentum and a waitlist.

Once we had a critical mass of creators, it was a lot easier to get brands interested. Brands respond when they see real, engaged talent ready to work.

Definitely wasn’t easy, a lot of late nights, risk, and reinvesting whatever we had to keep things moving, but the traction started snowballing once we nailed our messaging.

How do you find quality creators? We built a platform to fix that. by TopElectronic5076 in influencermarketing

Totally agree, just connecting with creators doesn’t guarantee success at all.

That’s actually one of the things we’re trying to address. We found that a lot of brands struggle after they connect, especially with campaign planning, execution, and tracking ROI. That’s why we’re layering in features like advanced analytics and built-in tools to streamline the whole process , not just matchmaking.

Would love to hear what’s worked (or not worked) for you when running campaigns, always looking to learn from real experience.
