Connecting brands with creators, on every platform.
Cipher Catalyst is a partnerships agency. We help brands find creators for sponsored work, and creators find brands that suit their channel.
Contact usAbout
Our roots are in tech, where audiences are curious and know their subject well. That shaped what we believe about partnerships.
A sponsorship works when both sides would have chosen it anyway. The brand reaches people who already care about what it makes.
The same thinking applies well beyond tech. What matters is that a creator's audience cares about what they make, whatever the subject.
Why our selection works
A good match comes from several sources, about the creator's channel and about the brand. No single figure tells you whether the two fit.
Each introduction is considered on its own terms.
Channels grow, audiences shift and brands change direction. Cipher Catalyst helps you keep track.

How we work
-
An independent agency
Cipher Catalyst is an independent agency. We are not employed by the brands we present.
-
Answering brands' calls for proposals
Brands share their campaign needs, and we suggest creators whose audience fits.
-
Everything clear before you commit
Before anything is agreed, you know the brand, the deliverable, the timing and the fee.
-
Agreed in writing
The terms of every partnership are agreed in writing before any work starts.
Creators never pay us anything. We will never ask you for money, whether as a fee, a deposit or an advance.
