One Platform for All Your UGC Campaigns

Source Creators.

 No more cold DMs. Post once and creators from a 1M+ pool apply to you.

Stop Tracking In Sheets.

 Every creator's views, engagement and cost in one place, not a spreadsheet somebody has to update.

Payouts Without The Weekend.

 Pay twenty creators in one pass. Contracts, invoices and 1099s handled, so nobody has to own payouts as a job.

Fifteen Steps Down To Three.

 Briefs, chat, approvals and payment in one thread per creator, instead of Slack plus email plus IG DMs.

Fill roles faster

Fill roles faster

The marketplace makes it easier to move from discovery to outreach to hiring in one workflow. Brands like Turbolearn and Brex did not win by coordinating creator relationships through scattered DMs; they won by turning sourcing into a scalable system.

Source for fit, not guesswork

Replit moves fast, and we needed a way to get in front of developers at scale without relying solely on ads. SideShift made that possible. The sheer volume of organic content we were able to push out through their creators turned into real distribution and traction for us.
