You bring the talent.
We bring the clients.
Riffr is a creative director for performance brands — and we're building a roster of creators we call on for directed shoots. No client-hunting, no cold pitching, no chasing invoices. You create; we handle the brief, the strategy, the script, and the client.

Less hustle. More shooting.
Just create.
No finding clients, no negotiating scope, no invoicing headaches. We bring you fully-briefed, directed projects.

Every project has a real creative director behind it — a clear hook, script, and angle. You're never guessing.
Paid per project.
Straightforward, scope-based rates. No revenue-share games, no "exposure."
Build your reel.
You keep the right to show your work in your own portfolio.
What it’s actually like
You're directed, not dropped.
Most UGC gigs hand you a vague brief and hope. With Riffr there's a real creative director behind every project — you get a clear hook, a script, an angle, and the reasoning behind it. You always know what you're making and why it'll work.
You're treated like talent, not a vendor.
No haggling, no being ghosted, no "we'll pay you after the brand pays us in 90 days." We respect your craft and your time, and we're straight with you about every project.
You shoot; we carry the rest.
Sourcing the client, scoping the work, the edit, the revisions, the back-and-forth — that's our job. Yours is to show up and create. The business disappears so the craft can take over.
Every project is portfolio-worthy.
Because there's direction and strategy behind it, the work you make with us is the kind you'll want to show. You keep full portfolio rights.
How it works
Apply.
Send your name, socials, and a few samples. A couple of minutes — a strong portfolio link matters more than a long form.
We review & vet.
We look at every application. We're selective because our clients are — quality keeps the whole pool valuable. If you're a fit, you're in.
Join the pool.
You're on our roster. When a project matches your style, niche, and location, we reach out. You only take the ones you want — no obligation.
Get the brief & shoot.
We send the full direction — hook, script, angle, everything. You shoot it. Questions are answered fast; you're never guessing.
Deliver & get paid.
Upload your work. Once it's approved, you're paid per project. Clean and simple.
What makes a strong application
A real portfolio.
Even 2–3 strong sample videos tell us more than anything else. New to UGC? Send whatever you've filmed — we care about eye and instinct, not a long résumé.
You don't need followers.
This is UGC, not influencing. We care how your content performs and feels, not your audience size.
Basic editing.
Most projects need at least a clean edit with captions. Comfort with cutting, subtitles, and pacing goes a long way.
A point of view.
The "about you" is where you stand out — tell us what you're great at and what you love making. Generic applications get lost; specific ones get remembered.
Straight talk on rights
When you create for a Riffr project, the finished work is bought out — it belongs to Riffr and our client to use in their ads. That's how we can pay you per project and guarantee our clients full usage. You keep the right to show the work in your own portfolio and reel. If full buyout isn't your thing, we're probably not the right fit — and that's okay. We'd rather be upfront now than surprise you later.
Questions, answered.

We onboard creators based on what our clients need right now — specific niches, locations, sometimes specific audiences. You're welcome to apply regardless; if we're not actively placing your profile yet, you'll go on our list and we'll reach out when there's a fit. A strong application makes all the difference.
