§ From the shelf

Past work

Stills reconstructed from the spots. The films were shot by creators, not a house crew.

01 — Still · national, Mother’s Day

Famous Footwear — A Letter to Mom

A kitchen-table letter that ran as a national spot. The brand kept asking for another one.

“We bought a film that felt like it was written at a kitchen table. That’s the point.”
A young woman laughing as she films herself on a city bus at golden hour
02 — Still · bathrooms, buses, backyards

Clinique — What is Happy to you?

Dozens of answers, one fragrance. Happy looked like a Tuesday, not a campaign.

“The brief was a question. The films were the research.”

Dell / Michael’s

How-it’s-made and make-it-at-home. Product where it already lives.

“Ship the laptop. Leave the rest to someone who already films at that desk.”

§ The shop

Opened in Philadelphia in 2007 to pay ordinary people for brand films.

Poptent Inc. opened in Philadelphia in 2007 to pay ordinary people for brand films. San Clemente followed. In 2015 we merged with Userfarm to form Vizy — about 140,000 creators on the books. In 2024 we came back as a YouTube creator network: same payroll habit, fewer contests, more direct deals.

We are not a talent marketplace with a feed. We read your channel, say what it is worth to a sponsor, and send work you can refuse.
