Recent creator posts show active UGC briefs and sponsor leads — including PR-kit gigs for 1 Reel + 2 Stories promoted by @elev8or_creator and high-profile collabs showcased by @rootsbyher with brands like Gatorade, Aveeno and Chanel Beauty — and platforms like Reputo listing active UGC roles. That mix signals brands are still sourcing performance-minded creators via social-first channels and UGC marketplaces. (x.com) (x.com) (x.com)
