What this means if you are planning a collab
- Big three: LA, Miami and New York have the most creators to choose from. Post a collab call with your dates and you will usually get replies.
- Growing hubs: Atlanta, Dallas and Las Vegas have solid groups and less competition for attention.
- Travel: If you are visiting, put your dates on the collab schedule so local creators can find you.
- Virtual: About 180 creators were open to virtual collabs, so you are not limited to your city. See the virtual collab guide.
