Why join the story collective?
As both a UGC creator and someone who manages UGC creators and campaigns for brands, I understand what’s needed on both sides for a successful collaboration.
That’s why I created The Story Collective.
By joining, creators gain access to opportunities from trusted brands, along with guidance to help them create content that aligns with their expectations. Whether you're building your portfolio or growing as a creator, this collective was designed to help you develop your skills, and connect with brand partnerships that fit your niche and goals.
