What is Burbayne and how does it work?
Burbayne is a UGC brand partnership agency that connects aspiring creators, models, and influencers with brands on Instagram for official partnerships. You’ll receive offers from brands that include a product discount to create content—no free products and no direct payment.
Many UGC creators later earn paid or gifted partnerships as they build experience with brands they meet through Burbayne. Burbayne is designed for new creators who want to land their first partnerships, gain experience, build credibility, and try partnering with brands on Instagram with no pressure or long‑term commitment.
What is a UGC partnership?
UGC (User-Generated Content) partnerships involves creating and posting authentic photos or videos featuring a brand’s products on Instagram. Typically, UGC creators tag the brand and share with their followers that they have an official partnership. This is the very first step for aspiring creators, models, and influencers to gain exposure, credibility, and experience working directly with brands.
When you're new to creating content or don't yet have enough followers to secure paid partnerships, it's common and completely normal to accept discount-based partnerships in exchange for creating content. In fact, most successful creators, models, and influencers started exactly this way.
Do I need followers or prior experience?
No. Burbayne is designed for new, aspiring UGC creators to land their first partnerships, gain experience, and build credibility on Instagram. There are no minimum follower requirements. We provide equal opportunities for new creators, models, and influencers to secure official brand partnerships, create content, and potentially get discovered.
Will I get paid or free items?
No. These are partnership-based offers, meaning you won’t receive direct payment or free products. Instead, you’ll receive official brand partnerships from popular brands on Instagram, that provide significant product discounts for posting content and partnering with them.
It’s common for brands to offer products at or below cost to UGC creators who haven’t yet built up their followers or social presence. This helps new creators, models, and influencers build credibility and gain experience through authentic brand partnerships.
While many Burbayne UGC creators do eventually secure paid or gifted collaborations, the main goal of Burbayne is to help new creators establish themselves, gain valuable experience, and create a portfolio of real brand partnerships to position themselves for future opportunities.
Are there any upfront costs, fees or contracts to join Burbayne?
No. There are no upfront costs, fees or contracts required to join the Burbayne UGC Partnership Agency. However, as explained above in "Will I get paid or free items", when you accept a brand partnership offer, you will be responsible for purchasing the product at a highly discounted price to secure the partnership.
How and when will I receive brand partnership offers?
As a UGC creator with the Burbayne UGC Agency, you’ll receive brand partnership offers by email as soon as they become available. While we aim to provide at least one to two offers each month, some months may be more, and some may be less. Most creators begin receiving their first partnership offers within 1–2 weeks of joining.
