What we do

What’s included

Every project is scoped to what you need. These are the pieces we deliver most often.

Audience features

A campaign produced by our crew and distributed across our own Detroit channels as a disclosed paid partnership.

Creator casting

We match your brand with Detroit creators whose audience is actually local and whose content fits.

Creator events and tastings

Invite-only previews, openings and media nights, planned, hosted and documented.

UGC-style content

Creator-made videos you can run as ads, with usage rights negotiated up front.

Contracts and disclosure

Deliverables, usage rights, exclusivity and FTC-compliant disclosure written into every agreement.

Tracking and reporting

Codes, links and reach reporting so you can see what each creator delivered.

An agency with its own Detroit audience

Most influencer agencies rent attention from someone else. We built our own: more than 245,000 followers across Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, about 60% of them in Metro Detroit. For a local business, that concentration matters more than a national follower count.

It is also why our results are specific. Shinola’s limited timepiece release sold out the same day it ran. Club Studio’s opening drew more than 1,000 sign-ups. Stillwater Stables passed 450,000 views in a week. See the full case studies.

Audience features vs. creator campaigns

An audience feature is the fastest path to local reach. Our crew visits, builds a campaign around your story and distributes it across our own Detroit channels as a disclosed paid partnership, for a flat $1,550.

A creator campaign brings in Detroit creators with their own voice and niche: food, fitness, family, nightlife, style. It works well for tastings, openings, product launches and content you want to reuse in ads. Our guide to hiring Detroit influencers explains how we vet creators and what they typically charge.

Done properly, on paper

Creator marketing goes wrong in the details: unclear deliverables, surprise usage fees, missing disclosure. Every agreement we manage spells out deliverables, deadlines, approval rounds, usage rights, exclusivity and disclosure. FTC rules require clear labeling of paid relationships, and we check every post. Our plain-English FTC guide covers what businesses need to know.

Measure what matters

Reach is not the finish line. We use discount codes, tracked links and booking data where possible, so you can see what each creator and each feature actually drove. Start a campaign.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

How much does influencer marketing cost in Detroit?
A feature on our own Detroit channels is a flat $1,550. Creator campaigns with three to five Detroit creators start around $3,500, depending on audience size, deliverables and how long you want to use the content.
What is the difference between a feature on your channels and an influencer?
Our own Detroit audience is 245,000+ people, most of them local, so a feature there works like sponsored editorial with the reach of a large creator. Individual creators bring their own personality and niche audience. Many campaigns use both.
How do you find the right creators?
We look at audience location, engagement quality, past brand work and whether their content fits your brand. We ask for audience data before recommending anyone, because follower counts alone say little about local reach.
Are paid posts disclosed?
Always. FTC rules require clear disclosure of paid relationships, and every creator agreement and audience feature includes proper labeling such as the platform’s paid partnership tag or #ad.
Can we use creator content in our ads?
Yes, if usage rights are included in the agreement. We negotiate those rights up front and spell out how long and where you can use the content.
