Why Brands Choose SideShift
Stop outsourcing. Start owning your creator pipeline.
Most brands rely on agencies or freelancers to source UGC — adding cost, lag time, and losing control over quality. SideShift gives your in-house team a direct line to 1M+ creators, with tools to manage every step from brief to delivery.
Launch campaigns in hours instead of weeks. Test more creative, find top performers faster, and build a creator roster you own — not one that disappears when you switch agencies.
Full Creator Pipeline
Search, filter, and invite creators from the largest UGC marketplace. Build saved lists and reactivate top performers for future campaigns.
End-to-End Campaign Management
Brief creators, manage submissions, request revisions, approve content, and handle payments — all from one dashboard.
Performance You Can Measure
Track every piece of content across platforms. See which creators and formats drive results, then double down on what works.

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.
