How Social Cat works

Browse through available campaigns or receive proposals directly from brands. Work with them on gifted or paid campaigns.

1

Setup a free Social Cat account

Tell us more about your creator profile, your followers, your location, and the brands you want to collaborate with.

Tip: verify your account on Instagram and TikTok so brands can see more in-depth metrics about your profile. It will increase your chances for paid collaborations by up to 47%.

2

Apply to available campaigns

Filter through the available campaigns, find the ones you like, either gifted or paid and apply to them. Wait for the brand's decision. It won't take long.
3

Receive direct proposals from brands

Besides applying to campaigns, brands can also discover your profile and send you direct invitations to their campaigns. This can be for gifted or paid collaborations.
4

It's a match. Start working on the campaign

When brands accept your campaign application or you accept their proposal to work together, it's a match. Use the messaging system to agree on the details and wait for the products to arrive.

TESTIMONIALS

We have worked with hundreds of amazing influencers

"This is the best ambassador programme platform I have found.

It’s super easy to use, they send a brief of the company that are looking for a collab and you just click to apply and then the company check out your social media and if your a match they contact you.

I have been matched with some fantastic brands and still keep in contact with many now. Fab idea and execution."

What is a gifted collaboration?

What if I get rejected?

No worries. Take some time to go through the feedback provided via email, and apply directly from your account in one month. Our team will look over the account again.

Do I need to verify my profile on Social Cat?

We recommend verifying your profile because it will give access to more relevant metrics for brands, like reach, impressions, or audience insights. Creators who verify their accounts have priority for paid collaborations and more chances to get approved by brands.

Verifying your account is super safe, and you don't need to give us any sensitive information. Log in with your email and let Meta or TikTok sync to our platform.

How do I get paid, and how do I ensure brands won't refuse to pay?

Brands provide payments directly to your PayPal account.

We have protection systems in place, and if brands refuse to pay, you can get in touch with our team to have a look over this. Brands refusing to pay can end up with their contracts terminated with our platform.
