Grocery / box unboxing
A mouth-watering unboxing and first use.
Illustrative previews: launching 2026, join the first brands.
Food creators, not a generalist pool.

Illustrative profiles. You filter by category, platform and rating, then pick your creators yourself.

Frequently asked questions about food UGC.
How much does a food UGC campaign cost?
You set the budget per creator (€50 to €2,000) and the number of creators (1 to 50). Since a polished recipe takes time to shoot and edit, €100-180 per creator is a common range. No subscription, payment on approval.
Do I have to send my product to the creator?
Yes for physical products (food, utensils): you specify shipping in the brief. For an app, simple access is enough. Creators then work the product into their everyday cooking.
Which formats and platforms?
Vertical 9:16 for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Snapchat, Facebook. Short, appetizing recipes perform strongly in organic.
How does payment work?
Nothing is charged without your approval. The creator is paid once the video is approved; the creator's bank-transfer payout is processed within 5 business days.
