For in-house marketing teams
Every creator, campaign, and budget. One workspace.
Keep the whole roster in one place, commit fees against a budget that updates itself, and have the recap built by the time the campaign wraps.
The problem
Creator marketing works. Running it by hand doesn't.
It's not the marketing that's broken. It's running it across a dozen disconnected tabs.
- Scattered everywhere
- Creators in a sheet, deals in DMs, budgets in a third tab that never agrees.
- Follow-ups slip
- A creator ghosts because the reminder lived in your head, not your workflow.
- Budgets drift
- You pay someone twice because two tabs disagreed and nobody caught it.
- Proof is manual
- Results scatter across screenshots you rebuild by hand for every report.
What you get
The whole operation, with AI on your side.
- A roster you can actually search
- Handles, audience, rates, and notes on every profile, so search takes a second, not a scroll.
- Budgets on autopilot
- Commit fees and Distinct tracks committed vs. remaining live, flagging overspend before it happens.
- AI-drafted outreach
- Generate first-touch messages and follow-ups in your voice, then send from one pipeline that never drops.
- Results, summarized by AI
- It pulls posts and numbers into a campaign recap that's ready the moment you wrap.
- Revenue, not just reach
- Attach promo codes and tracked links, log orders, and see ROAS and cost per acquisition next to every campaign.
- A public page creators apply to
- Publish a branded profile at your own link and let creators pitch you. Every application lands in one inbox.
- Screening that filters the noise
- Set a minimum audience and the platforms you want. Off-fit applications get flagged or auto-archived before they reach you.
- A verified badge creators trust
- A Distinct-verified mark on your profile and across discovery signals that you're the real deal.
- Market rates at a glance
- Benchmark what creators charge by content type and estimate a campaign's budget before you commit a dollar.
- Shortlist as you discover
- Save searches you run often and park promising creators in named lists, long before you reach out.
- Every deliverable on one calendar
- See all posting and draft-due dates across campaigns in a month view, so nothing ships late.
Also included
And the rest of it.
The smaller pieces, all doing the same job: one less place you have to keep something in your head.
- A pipeline you can drag
- Every creator on a board, moved through outreach by hand or by the reply that just landed. The same stages work as a list when a board is too much.
- Recaps you send as a link
- Share a finished campaign recap with your team or your client at its own URL. No login on their side, no attachment on yours.
- Live numbers, not last quarter's
- Reach and engagement pulled from Instagram and X directly, so a creator's audience is what it is today rather than what the deck said.
- Notifications with something to do in them
- A reply, an accepted deal, a draft due tomorrow. The timeline keeps the history so nothing is reconstructed from memory.
- A badge for your own site
- Show the Distinct verified mark where creators are deciding whether you are worth pitching.
- Calculators anyone can open
- Rate, CPM, and engagement calculators on the public site. No account, no email, useful before you ever sign up.
The maths
About 18 hours of admin, or none of them.
None of this is hard. It is just long, and it is the part of a campaign that quietly eats a week. Here is the honest version of the job, priced at a freelance rate of $60 an hour. The hours are our own estimates for a campaign with around ten creators on it, not a survey.
- Building the shortlistDigging up handles, audience numbers, and last-known rates for everyone worth asking4h
- Outreach and the follow-ups after itWriting the first message ten times over, then remembering who never replied6h
- Keeping the budget honestReconciling what you committed against what you agreed against what you actually paid3h

The difference
Distinct vs. the spreadsheet.
| Spreadsheet + DMs | Distinct | |
|---|---|---|
| Your roster | Rows you scroll and re-sort by hand | Filterable profiles with rates and notes |
| Budget | Manual sums that drift out of date | Committed vs. remaining, updated live |
| Outreach | Follow-ups lost across inboxes | One pipeline, nothing overdue |
| Finding creators | Endless scrolling, tabs you lose | Filter, save searches, and shortlist |
| Getting found | You chase every creator yourself | Creators apply through your public page |
| Results | Screenshots and guesses at ROI | Reach, engagement, and ROAS on wrap |
| Scaling up | Breaks the moment you add a campaign | Holds up as campaigns grow |
