Local content marketplace

Great local content,
lit up on demand.

Businesses post an Ember — a paid content shoot with a clear brief and a reward they set. Nearby creators claim it, shoot it, and deliver on deadline. Free to join on both sides.

Free accounts · No subscription · $75 minimum reward

For Businesses

Skip the agency retainer. Write a brief, pick your deliverables, set the reward, and get a local creator on site within days. Approve the work and it lands in a content library you own — with usage rights on file. Recurring schedules keep your calendar full automatically.

For Content Creators

Stop cold pitching. Open the map, see what's paying near you, and claim the shoots that fit your week. Every Ember shows the reward, the brief, and the deadline before you commit — and you keep 100% of the reward you see.

Built for both sides

One marketplace. Every local shoot.

No cold pitching, no chasing invoices, no agency retainer. Ember handles the brief, the deadline, the rights, and the money.

How it works

Four steps. Zero back-and-forth.

  1. Step 01

    Post an Ember

    Write the brief, pick deliverables, set the reward and the deadline. It goes live in minutes.

    • Creative brief
    • Video · Photo · B-roll
    • Reward + deadline
  2. Step 02

    A local creator claims it

    Open it to the marketplace, or assign it straight to the creators you've already favorited.

    • Nearby creators
    • One-tap claim
    • Assign to favorites
  3. Step 03

    Shoot and submit

    The creator shoots on location and uploads deliverables before the live countdown runs out.

    • On-location shoot
    • Live countdown
    • Upload deliverables
  4. Step 04

    Approve and pay

    Review the work, approve it, and it lands in your content library with usage rights on file.

    • Review + approve
    • Creator gets paid
    • Rights on file
Free to start

Free to start, either way.

Businesses only pay for Embers they post and approve. Creators never pay a cent.
