​Hey everyone! I’m the founder behind Kept (keptcreators.com), a pitch-tracking & deal hub built for UGC creators.

- ​Direct input into feature requests and roadmap.

- ​First priority for our paid creator/affiliate retainer program once we go public.

​What we're looking for:

​Active creators who pitch brands weekly.

​Willingness to give honest feedback and record a quick 15–30 sec screen-share / review of the tool in action.

​If you’re tired of pitching blind and want to be a founding tester, drop a comment below.

​I’ve managed ads for online stores for over five years.

​I’ve sat in marketing meetings and watched how brands really look at creator pitches.

​A creator emails a Canva link.

​The brand clicks it. Most of these portfolio sites look messy, ugly, and hard to read on a desktop screen.

​The marketing manager scrolls for 3 seconds, gets a notification, closes the tab, and forgets the email or DM ever happened.

​Meanwhile, the creator sits at home thinking:

​"Was my price too high?"

​"Was my work bad?"

​"Did they hate me?"

​You have zero idea what actually happened after they clicked that link.

​Brands use software to track every single click a customer makes on their site.

​Creators send pitch links totally blind, hoping for the best, and keeping track of their whole business in a Notes app.

​It makes no sense.

​So I really want to know:

​When you send a brand your portfolio link, do you have any clue what they do after they click it?

Or are you just guessing and sending follow-ups into the dark?

So I'm a media buyer and I've been in marketing for about six years.

I took over an ad account a while back and went through the creative library. Found a video running that had been shot five years earlier. Still one of the stronger performers in the account. Hundreds of comments on it.

So I asked the brand what the usage rights were on it.

They didn't know what I meant. They weren't dodging me, they had never heard the term. The person who booked that creator left the company two years before I got there.

I want to explain how this actually happens, because most of the time it isn't brands being shady.

When a video wins it doesn't get retired. It gets duplicated into new ad sets. It gets carried over when someone restructures the account. It gets pulled back out in a slow month because a buyer sorted by best performing and there it was. After a year or two it's just a file in the library with a good track record attached.

There's no expiry field in Ads Manager. Nobody running your video has read your contract. The person who signed your deal knows the terms, and they've usually left.

You can check this yourself in about two minutes.

Meta's Ad Library is public. Type in a brand's name and it shows every ad they're running right now. If your video is still live after usage rights, you'll see it sitting there. No login, no permission, no need to ask anyone.

Most creators I've mentioned this to have never opened it..

Go and look up a brand you worked with a year or more ago. If you find your video still running, what would you actually do? Invoice them, ask them to pull it, or leave it?

I've been a media buyer for six years. Meta, TikTok, mostly ecommerce brands.

I've sat on the other side of the table more times than I can count. Watched a brand's whole month get saved by one video a UGC creator made for £150.

Watched that same brand never say thank you, never send more work, sometimes never even pay on time to other creators.

And every time I'd think: this person has no idea what they just did for this business. No idea what their next 5 might do. No idea they could ask for double.

Meanwhile the brand's got a dashboard for every analytic. Creator got a Notes app and a prayer 🤦‍♂️.

That's been sitting with me for a while.

So genuinely, just want to hear :

Do you actually know what your videos make a brand? Or are you just guessing? Do you even want to know...
