Influencer & Creator Partnerships
If you have a real audience and no serious merch partner, this page is worth reading.
Gutter Brudderz is looking for creators, influencers, and online personalities who have built something genuine: a following, a community, a niche. We are especially interested in those who have not yet found a merchandise operation that handles the product side the right way.
We are not looking for everyone.
We are looking for the right fit.
This Is Not Wholesale
Before anything else, this distinction needs to be clear.
Wholesale means a business purchases product from Gutter Brudderz at wholesale pricing and resells it through their own channels.
That is a separate program with its own terms, minimums, and structure.
Creator partnerships work differently.
In a creator partnership, Gutter Brudderz builds, manages, and sells the collection through Gutter Brudderz channels.
The creator promotes the collection to their audience.
Revenue is split between the creator and Gutter Brudderz based on the partnership terms.
The creator does not purchase inventory.
The creator does not manage a storefront.
The creator promotes, and earns from what moves.
Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for creators with verified audiences who do not currently have a serious merch partner.
That may include:
YouTubers and video creators.
Streamers.
Podcasters.
Social media creators across platforms.
Niche page and meme account creators.
Athletes and skaters.
Tattoo culture personalities.
Barber culture personalities.
Smoke shop and counterculture figures.
Commentators and educators.
Local scene figures with real community pull.
Domestic and international creators.
The common thread is not platform or follower count.
It is audience trust, content consistency, and fit with what Gutter Brudderz represents.
What Gutter Brudderz Handles
The merch operation is on us.
That includes:
Setting up the collection using creator-provided assets.
Formatting and placing artwork on products.
Organizing and preparing product listings.
Coordinating production.
Managing the sales channel.
Supporting fulfillment.
Handling the customer experience on the back end.
The creator does not need to run a store, manage inventory, or deal with production logistics.
That is the point.
Gutter Brudderz brings the infrastructure so the creator can focus on what they already do.
What the Creator Brings
The infrastructure only works if the creator actually shows up for their side of it.
The creator is expected to bring:
Their audience.
Their personality and identity.
Content that promotes the collection.
Active, consistent promotion.
The trust their audience already has in them.
A creator partnership does not run on autopilot.
If the creator is not willing to promote the collection to their audience, there is no partnership.
There is just a product sitting on a page nobody knows about.
The audience is the asset.
Promotion is how it gets activated.
How Profit Sharing Works
In standard qualifying partnerships, where the creator provides usable logos, artwork, slogans, marks, or brand assets and no major additional creative work is required on our end, the creator’s share of profit starts at 51%.
That means the creator takes the majority.
Gutter Brudderz takes the remainder, along with the benefit of audience exposure, new customer traffic, and brand reach into the creator’s community.
Both sides benefit when the collection performs.
That alignment is intentional.
To be clear: the 51% floor applies to standard qualifying partnerships where usable assets are provided and setup does not require significant additional creative labor.
It is not a blanket guarantee for every situation.
When Creative Work Changes the Split
Normal collection setup, including placing provided artwork on products, formatting assets, organizing listings, and coordinating production, is part of what Gutter Brudderz handles as a standard partner responsibility.
Major additional creative work is a different matter.
If a collection requires creating a new logo from scratch, original illustration, coloring artwork, redrawing low-quality assets, heavy design cleanup, rebuilding a creator’s brand identity, or bringing in freelance creative contributors, the profit breakdown may be adjusted to fairly account for that additional work and anyone involved in producing it.
The more creative labor a collection requires beyond standard setup, the more that labor factors into how revenue is divided.
If you come in with clean, usable assets and a clear creative direction, the standard profit-sharing structure applies.
If the collection requires us to build the creative foundation first, that conversation happens during screening.
Verified Audience Matters
Follower count is a starting point, not the finish line.
Gutter Brudderz is looking for creators with verified audiences, meaning real people who actually engage, respond, and trust the creator.
Platform analytics, posting consistency, engagement rates, audience identity, and community behavior all factor into how we evaluate a potential partner.
Inflated numbers, purchased followers, and dead engagement do not move merch.
A smaller creator with a loyal, active, well-matched audience is worth more to this partnership than a large account where nobody is paying attention.
If you have built something real, that is what matters.
Who Is Not a Fit
To save everyone time:
Creators looking primarily for free product.
Creators with fake, purchased, or heavily inflated audiences.
Creators who are not willing to actively promote the collection.
Creators with no clear audience identity or content direction.
Creators whose audience does not align with the Gutter Brudderz brand or customer.
Creators expecting guaranteed income or guaranteed sales.
Creators expecting approval without going through the screening process.
This is a performance-based partnership.
If the audience is not real and the promotion is not consistent, nothing works.
We would rather be direct about that now than have a partnership go nowhere for both sides.
Domestic and International Creators
Gutter Brudderz is open to creator partnerships in the United States and internationally.
A strong creator partnership in another country may help introduce the brand to a new regional audience, which is genuinely valuable.
We are not limiting the conversation to any single market.
What matters is audience fit, creator authenticity, and whether the partnership structure makes operational sense regardless of location.
The Bottom Line
If you have a real audience, a clear identity, and no serious merch partner, there may be something worth building here.
Gutter Brudderz brings the collection, the product setup, the sales channel, the production coordination, and the customer experience.
The creator brings the audience, the promotion, and the trust that makes merch actually sell.
In standard qualifying partnerships with usable creator assets, the creator takes the majority of profit from the jump.
Both sides win when the collection performs, which means both sides have a reason to take it seriously.
This is a screened partnership program, not an open enrollment.
Fit, audience quality, and seriousness of intent matter.
If that sounds like where you are, the conversation is worth starting.
