Zero Shipping Hassles

Stop shipping 50 boxes of product to random creators every month and hoping they film it right. Send it to our studio once, and we handle all on-street distribution and props.

The Micro-Influencer Myth

Trend.io serves a distinct purpose: it is a software platform designed to connect brands with thousands of micro-influencers. While great for generating mass volume of low-tier content, it places the entire burden of success on your internal team. You must act as the strategist, the creative director, and the media buyer.

When campaigns fail on a marketplace, the platform takes no responsibility. The creator simply gets paid for delivering the asset. Furthermore, the modern consumer is blind to traditional UGC. They know they are being sold to instantly.

The Street Poller Paradigm Shift

We manufacture viral, authentic interactions in public that stop the scroll. By tying our success to your ROAS via in-house media buying, we create an end-to-end performance ecosystem.

Trend.io Output

Raw MP4 Files. You write the briefs, review creators, ship products, and manage the editing.

Street Poller Output

Sit back. We scrape the trends, hit the streets, edit native TikTok variants, and buy the media.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between Trend.io and Street Poller?
Trend.io is a creator marketplace network. You pay software fees to connect with influencers, but your internal team must manage the strategy, write the scripts, and handle media buying. Street Poller Media is an end-to-end performance creative agency handling production and media buying entirely.
2. Can Street Poller guarantee higher ROAS?
While no agency can legally "guarantee" a specific number, our business model revolves around Performance Media Buying. We use data-backed pattern interrupts which historically yields significantly higher ROAS than generic marketplace videos.
3. Do I need to provide scripts to Street Poller?
No. Unlike software platforms where you write briefs, our creative directors handle the ideation, script architecture, and execution entirely based on viral data.
4. How does pricing compare?
Trend.io typically charges recurring SaaS fees plus per-video credits. Street Poller utilizes a retainer or performance-basis model, aligning our financial goals with your revenue growth rather than just delivering files.
5. Does Street Poller use influencers or real people?
We specialize in authentic Street Polling, capturing raw reactions from the general public to establish ultimate social proof. We also leverage a vetted network of creators for specific amplification.
6. How fast can we scale campaigns?
Extremely fast. Because we integrate directly with your Meta/TikTok ad accounts, we rapidly iterate on winning street hooks daily without waiting on freelancers to ship products and re-shoot.
