What it does
TryNearby connects local restaurants with a managed group of nearby creators. Each month a restaurant gets five local creators who visit, eat and post about the spot, with a fully managed creator flow, an analytics dashboard and dedicated account support. Creators get sent new places to visit every week, show up, eat and post, while TryNearby handles the rest.
Local restaurants struggle to be discovered. Creator marketing is built around reaching people everywhere, but local businesses need creators who live nearby and post about places their viewers can actually walk into.
