What do managers do?

Managers help you grow primarily by: creating more opportunities, facilitating outreach, overseeing negotiations, giving career guidance, and managing administration needs. In turn, you get to spend more time focusing on creating content and engaging with your audience.

The benefits?

Managers do most of the heavy lifting when it comes to brand partnerships while also ensuring you are getting the best deals at the rates you deserve. They can help provide an overall strategy for expanding your business — such as hiring content producers and editors.

Do they take a percentage?

Managers do take a portion of the revenue that they help provide, but it’s totally worth it. On average, managers take around 10- 20% of the partnerships and work they source for their talent. A manager-creator relationship should be positive and beneficial for both parties. In our experience, transparency, open-ness, and communication can go a long way to create a lasting, successful relationship.

Can I grow my business without one?

At a certain point in every creator’s career, a manager will most likely need to come in to facilitate larger scale deals and take over administrative tasks. Micro-creators may have the ability to level up on their own with the right tools, but only to a point.

What about brand marketplaces?

Traditionally, there have been limited opportunities for creators & managers to focus on growing and automating their businesses with marketplace tools primarily built for brands. Companies like Grin and Mavrck build and scale their marketplaces specifically with the needs of brands in mind, leaving creators & managers without software catered just for them.

But that changes now — we are entering a revolution that puts the power back into the hands of creators and managers.
