The Agency

Where African authenticity meets global demand.

Lionessy is a UGC and brand content agency representing a carefully selected roster of Black African creators. We bridge the gap between brands seeking genuine diversity and talented women who know how to connect with audiences.

No follower count required. We believe the most compelling content comes from real people with real stories — and that African women are among the most powerful storytellers in the world. Brands are beginning to understand this. We’re here to make that connection seamless, professional, and profitable for everyone.

“We don’t represent content. We represent voices that brands can’t find anywhere else.”

Brands & Agencies

Authentic African voices for your next campaign.

Stop searching. Our vetted roster delivers scroll-stopping UGC for Meta, TikTok, and beyond — on brief, on time, on brand.

Vetted talent

Every creator in our roster is personally selected, briefed, and quality-checked. You get professional output, not lottery tickets.

Managed delivery

Brief us once. We handle casting, briefing, revisions, and final delivery. Your team stays focused on strategy, not logistics.

Performance focus

We produce content built for conversion — hooks, formats, and styles optimised for paid social performance, not just aesthetics.

Creators

Get paid to create. No audience needed.

Brands pay for your talent, your face, your voice — not your follower count. Join a roster that opens doors.

Flexible income

Work on your schedule. Each brand deal is a standalone project — from product reviews to lifestyle content — starting at $50 per video.

No audience required

Brands buy your content, not your reach. Whether you have 500 followers or 50,000, what matters is your presence and creative skill.

Professional backing

We negotiate rates, handle contracts, and manage client relationships. You focus on creating — we handle everything else.

Services

Everything a brand needs. Everything a creator deserves.

From talent casting to final delivery — a full-service UGC operation with African authenticity at its core.

02 — Talent Management

Creator development

We coach our creators on brief interpretation, filming techniques, and professional delivery standards. Brands get consistent quality. Creators build a real career.

Campaign management

End-to-end campaign execution: brief intake, creator matching, production supervision, revision rounds, and final asset delivery. One contact. Zero hassle.

Method

How we turn talent into content that converts.

i.

Application & selection

Creators apply and are reviewed individually. We assess presence, communication, consistency, and creative instinct — not follower count. Selected creators join our active roster and start receiving brand briefs.

ii.

Onboarding & training

Every new creator goes through a short onboarding covering brief interpretation, filming standards, and delivery process. We invest in quality from day one so brands get what they pay for.

iii.

Brand matching & brief

When a brand campaign comes in, we match it to the best-fit creators from our roster. Creators receive a detailed brief, deadline, and rate. No guesswork, no negotiation headaches.

iv.

Delivery & payment

Content is reviewed, approved, and delivered to the brand. Creators are paid promptly upon acceptance. We handle all contracts, usage rights, and invoicing on both sides.

Frequently asked

What you actually want to know.

No. UGC is about content quality, not audience size. Brands pay for your creative output — your face, your voice, your storytelling — not your follower count. Whether you have 200 followers or 200,000, you can qualify for our roster based on your presence and creative ability.
Rates vary by brand, content type, and usage rights. Entry-level UGC videos typically start at $50–$150 per deliverable. As you build your portfolio and track record with us, rates increase. Active creators working consistently can earn $500–$2,000+ per month depending on volume and brand category.
A recent smartphone with a decent camera is sufficient to start. Most successful UGC is filmed on mobile — it looks more authentic that way. Good natural lighting matters more than expensive gear. We’ll guide you on setup during onboarding.
Not always. Many brand briefs call for hand shots, product close-ups, voiceovers, or lifestyle footage that doesn’t require a face reveal. That said, face-forward content commands higher rates and more opportunities. We’ll match you to briefs that fit your comfort level.
Use the contact form below and describe your campaign needs. We’ll get back to you within 48 hours with a proposal. We handle everything from creator casting to final delivery — you just approve the content.
Lionessy Agency is headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany. Our creator roster spans East and West Africa, and we serve brands across Europe, North America, and the UK. We operate fully remotely, so location is never a barrier.
