About Storytime
Storytime is a local influencer marketing platform. Our matching engine scores and tiers every creator on data read from Instagram, including where their followers live, and matches your business with the local creators who fit it best. Those creators visit in person or redeem an online offer, then post about you on Instagram or TikTok.
How Storytime matches creators
Creators connect their Instagram professional account through Instagram Login, Meta’s official API. From that connection we read follower count, reach and views, how each post performs, and where their followers live, along with follower country, age and gender. None of it is estimated or taken from screenshots.
Our own scoring model gives every creator a score, and score bands become tiers. You can set up to three reward tiers, and each creator is offered the highest tier they qualify for.
Matching also looks at where each creator’s followers live, so your offer goes to creators whose audience lives where your customers are.
Who Storytime is for
Restaurants, cafes and coffee shops, bakeries, bars, fitness studios, beauty and wellness businesses, retail and fashion stores, hotels, and CPG and e-commerce brands.
Local businesses host creators in person. Online brands reward creators with a promo code, unique code, gift card, link or cash, and fulfillment can be automated: a Storytime workflow can call your Shopify store or other fulfillment system.
Brands run Storytime from the web dashboard. Creators join through the Storytime Influencers iPhone app (how to start).

How it works
- Set up a campaign. Describe your offer, choose where it runs and the type of post, and set what each creator tier receives. It takes minutes.
- Get matched. Your campaign goes to the creators who fit it best, by tier and by where their audience lives. You start seeing creators the same day.
- Creators visit and post. Visits are verified by GPS check-in, and your staff validate each creator’s Collab Pass. For online offers, creators redeem a code, gift card, link or cash reward instead.
- See the results. Every creator visit, post and impression shows in your dashboard, broken down by location. The ROI calculator models your return, reservations put a date and time on a collab, and API access is available.
