Local collab was born from a simple belief: the most powerful marketing happens when local businesses and creators come together to tell authentic stories that resonate with their communities.
To empower local businesses and content creators by providing a seamless platform that facilitates authentic collaborations, drives community engagement, and creates meaningful economic opportunities at the local level.
To become the leading platform that transforms how local businesses connect with their communities, creating a world where every neighborhood thrives through authentic, creator-driven storytelling.
Local collab started in 2024 when our founders recognized a growing disconnect between local businesses and the digital-native creators who could help them reach new audiences. While social media had democratized content creation, there was no dedicated platform connecting local businesses with nearby creators who truly understood their communities.
We saw local restaurants struggling to compete with chain establishments, boutique shops losing customers to online retailers, and service businesses finding it difficult to showcase their expertise. At the same time, talented content creators were looking for authentic partnerships with businesses they genuinely supported.
The solution was clear: create a platform that makes these connections effortless, transparent, and mutually beneficial. Local collab was designed from the ground up to understand the unique needs of local commerce while providing creators with the tools and opportunities they need to build sustainable careers.
Today, we're proud to serve thousands of businesses and creators across multiple cities, facilitating collaborations that drive real results and strengthen local communities. But we're just getting started.
We believe in genuine connections and authentic storytelling that resonates with real communities.
