What creators are actually saying about Popfly right now

We could tell you Popfly works. Or you could hear it from the creators using it, unprompted, in their own words. 

1. You don't need to be an influencer

Creator Ryan Heck put together his own list of brands he's worked with through Popfly, then posted it as an open invitation to other creators: Isle, Oru Kayak, Devos, BioLite, GoalZero, Paka, Astral, HydroFlask, Packfire, Roam, High Camp Flasks, Alpaka, Camp Chef, Knack, AllTrails, and Coulee.

His pitch to other creators: if you want to work with brands like these, sign up for Popfly. You don't need a ton of followers, and you don't need to already be an influencer.

This wasn't a paid testimonial. It was a creator building his own recruitment post, on his own account, because the results were real enough to share.

2. Two videos in, already a fan

Not every win is a big campaign. Julianna Smith commented on a post with a simple update: two paddleboarding videos made through Popfly so far, with more hopefully down the line.

“Ive done 2 paddleboarding videos from Popfly and hopefully many more to come!!! LOVE Popfly so much”
‍

Small, early, and still enthusiastic. That's exactly the range of creators this platform needs to work for, not just the six-figure accounts.

3. From two collabs all year to a dream brand list, checked off

The clearest before-and-after in this batch belongs to Chase Price. Last year: two collabs, total. After landing his first brand deal through Popfly, he messaged the team directly:

“Ahh thank you I've been loving Popfly! Literally changing my total outlook on content creation! Last year was so rough for me I only got 2 collabs all year so honestly I'm such a Popfly fan!”

A few weeks later, he posted publicly about a different milestone: he'd worked with every brand on what used to be his “dream brand” list.

“Today I made a new one. Not because the old list wasn't realistic. Because I worked with every brand on it. That's the crazy thing about goals. They feel impossible until one day they're just a memory.”

On a call, Chase told us he moved to Utah with virtually nothing, betting everything on content creation. He said Popfly allowed him to make money and stay out in Utah.

"The biggest tip for people considering Popfly is just go for it. Because it honestly saved my career in the past six months. I would have been back in Texas if I wasn't on that platform."

4. First paid campaign to 75+ brands

Goldie Choi's Popfly story spans further back. Her first ever paid campaign came through the platform, which she described as the first real sign that this could work. Since then, she's worked with 75+ brands. Getting to meet the Popfly team in person, after all that, is what she called a full-circle moment.

5. You've been able to connect me with some great brands

Not every story is a big number. Sometimes it's just a creator, Madison (39K followers), sending an unprompted thank-you note because using the platform is easy and the brand matches have been good.

“Hey Popfly team! I just wanted to send over a quick note of gratitude. I love logging on to my Popfly account everyday since the platform is so seamless and great to use, and you've been able to connect me with some great brands! I'm so happy I found Popfly and just wanted to tell the team you're all killing it!”

That's the baseline experience Popfly is trying to deliver for every creator on the platform, not just the ones posting six-figure view counts.

What this means

• Brand access doesn't require a huge following. Multiple creators here landed deals early, without an established audience.
• Consistency compounds. Creators who stuck with it went from a couple of collabs a year to dozens of brand partners.
• The wins aren't only about reach. Ease of use and good brand matches show up in these messages just as often as view counts.
• None of this was solicited. Every quote here is a public post or an unprompted note to the team.

Why we're sharing this

Popfly exists to fix what's broken in creator marketing: too much chaos, too little collaboration, not enough real results. These five creators are proof that when brands and creators actually get to collaborate instead of just transact, both sides win. That's the platform we set out to build.

Sign up for the Popfly platform and access brand opportunities as soon as they land.
