Storytime

Storytime is a two-sided marketplace connecting local restaurants, coffee shops, and other neighborhood brands with micro-influencers for hyperlocal marketing campaigns. The platform brands itself as a personalized alternative to generic influencer marketplaces, emphasizing authentic storytelling on social media. By focusing exclusively on a narrow vertical (food & beverage) and specific cities, it reduces noise for both brands and creators. The website highlights success stories and city-specific landing pages, suggesting a manual, high-touch approach to onboarding and campaign management. This niche positioning addresses the real pain point of local businesses struggling to find affordable, local content creators who understand their neighborhood's culture.
