our community values
you have questions, we have answers.
-
When you sign up as a hummingbird & integrate your social accounts, you’ll see available campaigns in your community & beyond. You can hit “interested” in the ones you genuinely would love to post about on social media and our team or our customers will select you if they want to collaborate.
-
A campaign is like a job posting. A company might be looking for 10 hummingbirds to come try out their new happy hour menu at their restaurant. Selected hummingbirds would get a $50 gift card with the request to create an Instagram Reel of their experience!
-
Hummingbirds is all about in-kind campaigns. From gift cards to complimentary spa services to free shoes, the brands we work with offer gifts to hummingbirds.
-
The brands we work with have different criteria. Some are only looking for 10 hummingbirds in a specific city. Others want hundreds of millennial moms to try and share a product. If you express interest in the campaign, brands will likely look at your followers, engagement on your content, and the style of your posts to see if you’re a good brand fit.
-
It’s free for you to join! We only charge the brands we work with.
-
We’ll email you upcoming opportunities and post them on your city’s Instagram.
-
We probably will be soon!
Send us an email at help@thehummingbirds.co and tell what city you live in.
FAQS
why I’m abird
“I love being a bird because of all the new experiences I am introduced to in my own backyard. Many of the brands we work with are ones I've never interacted with before!”
ALEXANDRIA P.
“I love being able to support our local businesses! They deserve all the love and support! I also love that as a Bird, we’re always encouraged to be authentic! I think that sets a part from a lot of other influencers who’s partnerships come across more like a product shill or insincere. I think there is just something so special about having a group of content creators who believe in the brands we support.”
AKILAH A.
“I love being a bird because it gives me an opportunity to lift local businesses and ideas up in a meaningful way and let’s me discover new fun things around my city to share. I usually am someone who people go to for suggestions and cool things to do, so adding to my arsenal is always a good thing!”
