Open to Toronto creators · Brands by invite

The right creator is one degree away.

Sixth Degree connects Toronto brands with creators a human has verified. Briefs start from what stands out in your niche, the fee sits in escrow until the post is live, and every result says where it came from.

Creator marketing, today

Most creator platforms were built for Los Angeles and shipped here unchanged. Toronto's small businesses pay for the gap. We built the fix here.

02°

Four things we do so you don't gamble.

From the first search to the final recap, in one place.

Verified

Every creator, checked by a human.

AI helps us look. A person decides. We check that the account is real and theirs, the photo is them, they're based in the GTA, and their content is something a brand would be happy with.

  • Due for a fresh review every 60 days, not once at signup
  • Brands can only hire creators who passed
  • Search by niche, neighbourhood, follower band, and rate

Campaign intelligence

Start from what stands out.

We read public posts from Toronto accounts in the niches we cover and rank each one against that account's own typical post. The ones that stand out become plays you can build on.

  • Every play cites its posts, each with the date we read it
  • Pick one and AI drafts the brief. You edit it and decide
  • Messages, submissions, and approvals stay in one place per collaboration

Escrow

Pay once. Release when it's live.

The brand funds the fee before filming starts. It sits in escrow while the work is made, reviewed, and posted, then goes to the creator in full.

  • Creators keep 100% of their quoted fee
  • Releases when the brand confirms the post is live, or automatically 3 business days after posting
  • A dispute pauses release until it's resolved

Recap

Every number, labelled by its source.

Every collaboration gets a trackable link, plus a promo code if you set one up. What they trace is a verifiable floor, not a complete count: some customers see a post and just walk in.

  • What we tracked, what the creator reported, and what you reported, never blurred together
  • A number we can't measure says n/a, never 0

A note from us°

We started Sixth Degree because we watched Canadian brands settle for US platforms that treat Toronto like a rounding error, and watched real creators lose deals to accounts with purchased followers. The people building culture here should get tools built here.

Questions, answered.

How does escrow protect brands and creators?

Brands fund the full fee to escrow before work starts, so creators never chase invoices. Creators keep 100% of their quoted fee. Funds are released when the brand confirms the post is live, or automatically after 3 business days if the brand takes no action. If there's a dispute, release pauses until it's resolved.

How are creators verified?

Verification is a human decision, not an algorithm's guess. A person checks that the account is real and belongs to the creator, that their photo is them, that they're based in the Greater Toronto Area, and that their content is something a brand would be happy with. Every creator is due for a fresh review every 60 days. Brands can only hire creators who pass. The platform enforces it.

Where do the campaign ideas come from?

From public posts by Toronto accounts in the niches we cover. Each post is ranked against what that account usually gets, so a big account doesn't win just for being big, and every idea cites the posts it came from, each with the date we read it. AI drafts a brief from the idea you pick, and you edit it before anything goes out. Nothing in it is a promise of results.

What does Sixth Degree cost?

Creators keep 100% of their quoted fee. Brands pay a platform fee on top, shown before you fund a collaboration. We haven't published standard pricing yet. Email hello@sixthdegree.app and we'll walk you through it.

What's the difference between nano and micro creators?

Follower band. Nano creators usually have a few thousand followers; micro creators reach into the tens of thousands. Both trade raw reach for trust: smaller audiences that actually know them. On Sixth Degree you can filter by follower band, niche, neighbourhood, and rate.

Can I sign up today?

Creators, yes: create your profile and we'll verify your account. Brands join by invite while we onboard our first campaigns. Join the waitlist and we'll reach out.

Do you only work with Toronto brands?

Toronto is where we're starting, on purpose. The creators live here and so do their audiences. That local context is not something a US platform can fake. We're Canadian-first, and once Canada is won, Brazil and Colombia are next.

How do brands know a campaign actually worked?

Every collaboration gets a trackable link, plus a promo code if you set one up. What they trace is a verifiable floor, not a complete count. Some customers see a post and just walk in. Every number is labeled with its source, so you always know what's measured and what isn't.

Pick your side. We'll take it from there.
