Creator Discovery Engine

Cross-platform creator discovery with engagement rates, growth velocity, brand fit scoring, and audience demographics. For brand partnerships, influencer marketing teams, and affiliate programs looking for emerging creators before they get expensive.

You need 50 TikTok creators in the fintech space with 100K–500K followers. You don't know who's growing, who's actually engaging (fake followers are real), or who'd even take your deal. This actor finds creators, scores them, and tells you who's worth signing.

└── Campaign Recommendations:
    ├── Tier 1 Creators (Fit Score 9+): Jordan, Mia (sign both for coordinated campaign)
    ├── Tier 2 Creators (Fit Score 8–8.9): 8 more creators in this range
    ├── Tier 3 Creators (Fit Score 7–7.9): 12 more (backup options, lower priority)
    ├── Estimated Campaign Budget: $40K–60K for 12-creator campaign
    ├── Expected Reach: 3.2M+ impressions (100% of audience sees content)
    ├── Expected Conversions (if 2% CTR): 64,000 clicks
    └── Projected ROI: 8–12x (typical for well-matched creator partnerships)

Why this matters: Partnering with the wrong creator burns money. A creator with 500K bot followers and 0.3% real engagement wastes your budget. This actor finds creators with real audiences who actually care about the content. Growth velocity tells you if they're rising (good deal) or declining (bad bet). Brand fit scoring means you sign winners.
