10,000 Creators Screened. 340 Made the Network. Every One Has Receipts.
Influencer databases sell you access to hundreds of thousands of profiles and leave you to find out which of them can actually deliver. We did that part already. Every creator in the network has passed audience, authenticity and compliance screening, run a tracked test campaign, and carries a performance scorecard and a pre-agreed rate card. Based across 18 geos. Brands get a matched shortlist in 72 hours. Creators apply free.
Everything You Need to Know About Our Creator Network
A managed creator network is a deliberately small roster of creators who have already been screened, tested on tracked campaigns and scored — so a brand choosing between them is choosing between proven options rather than gambling on unknowns. Ours holds 340+ creators accepted from more than 10,000 screened, based across 18 geos and concentrated in the categories where vetting matters most: iGaming, fintech, crypto, apps and SaaS. It serves two groups: brands that need creators who can deliver, and creators who want steady, fairly structured work from brands worth promoting.
A Database Is Not a Network.
Influencer marketplaces compete on size: hundreds of thousands of profiles, a search bar, some audience estimates. What they cannot tell you is the only thing you actually need to know — whether a given creator has ever run a tracked performance campaign, and what happened when they did. Most never have.
So every campaign restarts from zero. Screen audiences, check authenticity, read content history, negotiate rates, verify compliance, issue tracking, wait for results, discover that a third of the shortlist could not deliver. Then do it all again next quarter with a different third.
A network inverts that. It is small on purpose, and every creator in it arrives with a scorecard built from real campaigns, a rate card they have already agreed to, and a compliance record that does not need re-litigating. The screening happens once, properly, and keeps happening — seven creators left the network last quarter for failing it.
How a Creator Gets Into the Network, in Four Steps
Roughly one in thirty screened creators makes it through. Each step removes a different kind of risk a brand would otherwise carry.
Open Sourcing Takes Six Weeks.
Most of It Is Finding Out Who Can’t Deliver.
Sourcing creators from scratch for every campaign is not just slow. It guarantees that every campaign carries the full risk of working with people who have never been tested.
Every Campaign Starts From Zero
Open sourcing rebuilds the same vetting, negotiation and compliance work each time. None of what was learned last quarter carries forward.
Databases Don’t Know Who Converts
A profile shows reach and estimated demographics. It cannot show what happened the last time that creator ran a tracked campaign — because usually nothing was tracked.
Rate Negotiation Eats Weeks
Every new creator is a new negotiation. Pre-agreed rate cards turn a fortnight of back-and-forth into a confirmation email.
Compliance Can’t Be Improvised
In gambling and finance, reading a creator’s content history properly takes hours. Doing it under deadline for forty strangers is how mistakes get published.
Repeat Placements Outperform
A creator’s second campaign for a product almost always beats their first. One-off sourcing never gets to the second campaign.
Good Creators Leave Bad Programmes
Late payments, surprise clawbacks and scripted briefs drive the best creators away. A network only works if creators want to stay in it.
Marketplace & Open Sourcing vs. a Managed Network

| Vetting | Your job, repeated every campaign | Done once, re-checked continuously |
| Rates | Negotiated from scratch each time | Pre-agreed rate cards, never marked up |
| Compliance | Read under deadline, if at all | Pre-cleared for regulated verticals |
| Brief to live | Four to six weeks | Six to ten days |
| Bad actors | Discovered after they cost you | Removed from the network, visibly |
| Typical outcome | Big shortlist, uneven results | Smaller shortlist, predictable results |
Nine Creator Segments,
340+ Proven Names.
The network is weighted toward the categories where untested creators are most expensive: regulated verticals, performance-priced deals and products that need explaining. Follow a card for the campaign service built around that segment.

Here’s Why.
Vetting is five separate checks, each removing a different kind of risk. A creator can be excellent on four of them and still be declined on the fifth — and a creator in the network can be removed for failing one later.
| Reason | What We Found | Share of Rejections | Can Reapply? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audience outside covered geos | Creator local, audience elsewhere | 24% | Yes, if audience shifts |
| Engagement authenticity failed | Follower spikes, pods, inactive communities | 21% | After 6 months |
| Under-age audience share | Too high for regulated verticals | 14% | Non-regulated work only |
| Undisclosed paid promotion | Sponsored content without labelling | 12% | After 12 months |
| No vertical fit | Audience lacks the need the category serves | 11% | Yes |
| Misleading claims history | Guaranteed wins, returns or price calls | 9% | No |
| Test campaign underperformed | Below target after the hold window | 9% | After 6 months |
Five Tiers,
Earned One Campaign at a Time.
Creators move up by performing and move down, or out, by failing a check. For brands the tier is a shorthand for how much evidence exists. For creators it is a clear path to steadier, better-paid work.

Join the Network.
Get Paid for Audiences That Convert.
If your audience trusts you and you can explain a product honestly, you may be exactly who brands in this network are looking for — regardless of follower count. Applying is free and every application is reviewed.
Paid on Schedule
Terms in writing before you start. Flat fees paid on delivery; performance earnings within 15 days of the qualification window closing. $21M+ paid to network creators so far.
Fair Performance Deals
Qualifying events, hold periods and clawback terms explained upfront. Clawbacks cover fraudulent traffic only — never results that were simply lower than hoped.
Your Voice, Not a Script
Briefs set the required points and the rules. How you say it is yours. We push back on brands that try to script creators, because scripted content performs worse for everyone.
No Exclusivity Demands
Work with whoever you want. The only restriction is not promoting a direct competitor during a specific campaign, agreed per booking and paid for when it runs longer.
Compliance That Protects You
Briefs carry the disclosure and market rules, and drafts are reviewed before publication. That protects your account and your reputation as much as the brand’s.
A Path to Steadier Work
Tested, Proven, Core, Anchor. Each tier means more briefs, repeat-booking rates and longer partnerships. You see your own scorecard and know exactly what moves it.

| Location | Where you live | Where your audience lives — one of 18 geos |
| Engagement | Total likes and view counts | Comment quality and returning viewers |
| Audience age | Not relevant for every vertical | Majority adult for gambling and finance work |
| Brand deal history | How many deals you’ve done | Whether sponsored posts were disclosed |
| Production | Studio polish or expensive gear | Explaining a product clearly and honestly |
| Claims | — | No history of guaranteed wins or returns |

Are Saying
Quick Answers to Common Questions
Short, precise answers written for Google featured snippets, voice search, and AI engine citations.
What is a managed creator network?
A managed creator network is a deliberately small roster of creators who have already been screened, tested on tracked campaigns and scored. Unlike a database, every creator in it has a performance history, a pre-agreed rate card and a compliance record, so brands can launch in days instead of restarting vetting for every campaign.
Creator network vs influencer marketplace — what’s the difference?
A marketplace offers a very large number of untested profiles and leaves vetting, negotiation and compliance to you. A managed network is small and proven: every creator has passed screening and a tracked test campaign. Marketplaces optimise for choice; networks optimise for predictable results.
How are influencers vetted for performance campaigns?
Through five checks: audience geography and age, engagement authenticity, disclosure and claims history, a paid tracked test campaign scored on qualified outcomes, and ongoing conduct. In the Drow Digital network roughly 3.4% of screened creators clear all five.
How do I join an influencer network as a creator?
Apply through the network’s own form — legitimate networks never charge joining fees. Expect screening on audience composition, authenticity and disclosure history, then a paid test campaign. Follower count matters far less than who your audience is and whether you can explain a product honestly.
What does access to the creator network cost?
A single campaign booking starts at $1,900 for up to eight core creators, programme access is $4,400/month, and a dedicated roster is $8,500/month. Creator fees are paid at published rate cards and never marked up. Creators join free.
Do you need a lot of followers to work with brands?
No. In performance campaigns audience composition beats audience size — a 30,000-subscriber channel whose viewers have exactly the need a product solves routinely outperforms accounts ten times larger. Networks that measure conversion rather than reach have no minimum follower count.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Creator Network
For brands booking creators and creators thinking about applying — answered fully and honestly.
It is a managed roster of 340+ performance creators based across 18 geos, specialising in iGaming, fintech, crypto, app and SaaS campaigns. Every creator in it has passed audience, authenticity and compliance screening, run at least one tracked test campaign, and holds a performance scorecard and a pre-agreed rate card. Brands use it to launch creator campaigns in days rather than restarting sourcing, vetting and negotiation from scratch each time.
A marketplace or database gives you a very large number of profiles and a search filter, and leaves vetting, negotiation, compliance, tracking and performance history to you. Most of those profiles have never run a tracked performance campaign. A managed network is deliberately small: every creator has already been screened, tested on a real campaign and scored, so the question a brand is answering is which proven creators fit the brief, not which of thousands of unknowns might.
In five stages. Audience screening checks where the audience actually lives and its age distribution. Authenticity screening looks at follower growth curves, comment quality and view-to-follower ratios. Compliance review reads past content for undisclosed promotion and misleading claims. A capped test campaign with a hold window measures real conversion. Only creators who clear all of that and perform at or above target are offered a place in the core network — and every check is repeated on a rolling basis afterwards.
Because those are two different things. More than 10,000 creators have been screened into our sourcing database, which we draw on when a campaign needs reach or a niche the network does not cover. The 340+ in the core network are the ones who passed every check and proved themselves on tracked campaigns, which works out to an acceptance rate of about 3.4 per cent. The network is small on purpose; its value is that every name in it has a track record.
A matched shortlist arrives within 72 hours of a brief. Because rate cards are pre-agreed and compliance records already exist, most campaigns go live within 6 to 10 days, including tracking setup and creative review. Open sourcing for a comparable campaign typically takes four to six weeks, most of which is spent discovering which creators cannot deliver.
A single campaign booking starts at $1,900 and covers up to eight core creators. Ongoing programme access is $4,400 a month, and a dedicated roster with reserved creators and category exclusivity options is $8,500 a month. Creator fees are paid at each creator’s published rate card on top of that and are never marked up. If you want full campaign management — deal design, fraud control and cohort reporting — that runs through our iGaming, fintech & crypto or app & SaaS services.
Yes. When a brief needs a niche, platform or market the core network does not cover, we source from the wider screened database and run those creators through the same test-campaign process. They are clearly labelled as unproven in the shortlist so you can weigh the difference, and the ones who perform are offered a place in the network afterwards.
No. We do not require exclusivity, and creators remain free to take work elsewhere. The only restriction is category exclusivity for the duration of a specific campaign, so a creator cannot promote two competing products at the same time, and that is agreed per booking. Dedicated roster clients can reserve category exclusivity for longer periods at an agreed rate, which is paid to the creator.
Through the application form on this page. It is free, there is no joining fee of any kind, and every application is reviewed. We look at your audience composition and location, engagement authenticity, disclosure history and vertical fit. Creators who pass screening are offered a capped paid test campaign, and a place in the core network follows if it performs.
No. There is no minimum follower count. A 30,000-subscriber channel whose audience has exactly the problem a product solves routinely outperforms an account ten times larger. What matters is who the audience is, where it lives, how genuinely it engages, and whether the creator can explain a product clearly and honestly.
Payment terms are stated in writing before a campaign starts: the rate, the qualifying event for performance deals, the hold period and any clawback conditions. Flat fees are paid on delivery against the agreed schedule, and performance earnings are paid within 15 days of the qualification window closing. Clawbacks apply only to fraudulent or incentivised traffic, never to results that were simply lower than hoped. More than $21 million has been paid to network creators to date.
Undisclosed paid promotion, guaranteed-return or misleading claims, purchased followers or engagement, sending incentivised or fraudulent traffic, and repeated failure to deliver against an agreed brief. Removal is not a secret process: the creator is told why, and where the issue is fixable, such as an audience shift, they can reapply after a set period.
18 Geos.
Placed by Audience, Not Address.
Every creator in the network is placed by where their audience lives, not where they do — because that is where conversions happen or fail. The network spans 18 creator geos, and not every segment operates in every one: regulated verticals only run where the rules allow creators to promote them. Select a segment to see where its creators are.

Different Creators, Different Evidence
A tipster is proven by depositors who stay, a finance explainer by accounts that fund, a UGC producer by ads that convert. Scorecards measure each against what its category actually delivers.
