One Platform for All Your UGC Campaigns

Source Creators.

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.

UGC Analytics Powered by SideShift

Track more than output

Without tracking, creator marketing becomes guesswork. Performance analytics help teams understand which content, creators, and campaigns are actually driving views, engagement, and conversions instead of just measuring output.

Tracking matters because content volume alone is not enough. Teams need a way to connect what gets produced with what actually performs in market, then turn those learnings into the next round of creative.

Learn faster from every campaign

Learn faster from every campaign

The faster brands can identify winners, the faster they can scale stronger creative and stop wasting time on weak content. Brex used creator-led content to reach 5.1M+ organic views at a sub-$3 CPM in just 1 month, and that kind of learning loop only matters when the team can see performance clearly.

SideShift has shown us how much of a multiplier authentic, organic short-form content can be. Their creator network helped unlock a new layer of growth that traditional paid channels never could. It's a playbook every high-growth company should have in their arsenal.
