FAQ
💡 Getting Started
What is Sponsor Spy and how does it work?
Sponsor Spy is a searchable database that tracks brand deals across TikTok and Instagram. It lets you “spy” on sponsorships other creators are landing so you can pitch smarter, spot trends, and build your own profitable brand partnerships.
Who is Sponsor Spy for?
Sponsor Spy is for content creators. Particularly micro, mid-tier, and full-time influencers, who want to grow their brand deal income and take control of their outreach instead of waiting for offers to come to them.
How will this help me land more brand deals?
By showing you real, recent deals between brands and creators in your niche, you can:
- Identify which brands are actively spending
- Reverse-engineer successful pitch styles
- Tailor your outreach with data-backed confidence
- Avoid relying solely on management or inbound emails
What platforms do you track?
Sponsor Spy currently tracks TikTok and Instagram brand partnerships. You can filter by platform to focus on the space you create in most.
Which creators and brands are included in the database?
We focus on creators from the UK, US, AU & CA across a wide range of niches (beauty, fashion, fitness, tech, travel, etc.). Brands range from small brands to global names, if they’re paying creators, we’re tracking them. You're currently on the Sponsor Spy UK website: view the other sites here: XXXXXXXXXX
