How It Works

Book a local influencer
in five minutes

01

Post your campaign

Describe what you need: an Instagram Reel of your new menu, a TikTok tour of your gym, a story about your grand opening. Set your budget and location radius.

02

Match with nearby creators

BuzzNear surfaces influencers who live in your area, sorted by relevance, engagement, and niche. Invite them directly or let them apply.

03

Content goes live, customers walk in

The creator visits, creates authentic content, and shares it with their local audience. You see real people showing up, not just impressions on a dashboard.

The Opportunity

Local businesses need influencers.
Influencers need local gigs.

Most influencer platforms are built for Nike and Coca-Cola. BuzzNear is built for the coffee shop on the corner and the creator who lives down the street.

$150B

Spent annually on local advertising in the US. Most businesses have zero access to influencer marketing.

9.5M

People in the Chicagoland area. Thousands of creators, thousands of businesses, no marketplace connecting them.

3-4%

Average engagement rate for local micro-influencers. That's 5x higher than celebrity endorsements.

The best marketing your business can get is a neighbor telling their friends about you

BuzzNear makes that happen at scale. Every influencer on the platform lives in your city, shops at your competitors, and has followers who are your future customers.
