The Strategic Reality

You don’t need a bigger creator. You need a creator who already influences your market.

A national creator can make your brand visible. A local creator makes your location relevant. 100K followers in the wrong city are worth less than 8K followers in the right neighborhood.

Generic Creator Databases

Profile-Level Search
  • cancel Stale Bio Keywords: Searches profile bios like "Foodie NYC", surfacing creators who haven't reviewed a local spot in months or moved away.
  • cancel Wasted Geographic Reach: Millions of views, but 80%+ of the audience lives across other states with zero foot-traffic intent.
  • cancel Manual DM Outreach: Leaves you with an exported spreadsheet, copying emails into Instagram DMs with generic templates.

Intent Granularity

They know who the creator is. We know what they’re talking about right now.

Generic keywords like “Restaurants” are too broad. Hyperlocal demand lives in specific, actionable local conversations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Hyperlocal Creator Activation different from generic influencer search? expand_more
Traditional databases search profile bios for generic categories (e.g. "Foodie"). Lobby scans live TikTok content and video transcripts to find creators who actively visit, review, and tag specific venues, neighborhoods, and local cultural themes.
Why does topic granularity matter more than follower counts? expand_more
Because local demand lives in specific conversations. Searching “Restaurants” is broad. Searching “Rooftop cocktails in Austin” or “Artisan croissants in Williamsburg” surfaces creators whose audience specifically visits those exact places.
Can multi-location brands and franchises manage multiple cities in Lobby? expand_more
Yes. You can run separate local briefs for each venue, neighborhood, or target metro simultaneously, generating custom localized creator rosters and tailored tasting invites for every location.
How does the 1-click tasting and visit invitation flow work? expand_more
Lobby writes hyper-personalized invitation drafts referencing the creator’s actual recent videos (e.g. mentioning their specific favorite cafe review). Drafts appear directly in your email outbox for a 1-click human review before sending.
