Fresh local content, without hiring an agency.
Post an Ember with the brief and the reward you're comfortable paying. A local creator claims it, shoots it, and delivers on a deadline you set. Your account is free — you only pay for the work you approve.

Content that's shot where you actually are.
One brief, one reward, one deadline — and a creator who lives down the street.
You name the price
Set the reward per Ember starting at $75. No retainers, no monthly minimums, no agency contract. Ember adds a flat 20% platform fee.
Creators who are already local
Your Ember goes out to vetted creators inside your area, so someone can be at your door in days, not weeks.
Briefs that get the shot right
Objective, feature, hook, CTA, talking points and things to avoid — plus exact deliverables like vertical video, photos, and B-roll.
Recurring content on autopilot
Set a weekly, biweekly, or monthly schedule and Ember posts each shoot for you, with budget caps and stop dates you control.
Build a bench of favorites
Heart the creators who nail your brand and assign future Embers straight to them — or keep it open to the marketplace.
A content library you own
Approve submissions and they land in your library with the usage rights you specified, tagged and ready to post.
Four steps. No retainer.
