Diaspora & international brands × Nigerian creators
Brands in the US, UK, Canada and beyond reach Nigerian audiences with voices they trust.
Nigerian brands × diaspora creators
Reach Nigerians abroad through creators who live in London, Houston, Toronto, Dublin and more.
For brands, at home and abroad

For creators
Make content. Get seen. Get booked.
In Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt or Enugu, or in London, Houston or Toronto: build a profile, list your services and let brands come to you.
- ✓No follower minimum. Brands hire you for how you make content, not how many people follow you.
- ✓You set your own prices, from ₦10,000 per service.
- ✓The brand pays into escrow before you start, so the money is already there.
- ✓Get paid to your Nigerian bank account once the work is approved.
How it works
Brands post a brief
Say what you need: UGC videos, reviews, voice-overs, skits, unboxings. Or invite a creator straight from their profile.
Creators pitch
Everyday creators apply with their own price, delivery time and sample videos.
Escrow protects both
The brand pays into escrow. Money is only released when the brand approves the content.
Creators get paid
Approved work is paid out to the creator's Nigerian bank account.
Simple fees: brands pay the creator's price plus a 5% service fee; Varanda keeps 10% of the creator's price. How pricing works
