Most platforms are built for big brands. Linksy is built for Cardiff.
Post what you need. See who wants to work with you.
Linksy connects Cardiff creators with local businesses. Creators post what they make and what they are open to. Businesses post the content they need. Either side sends an offer, you chat, agree a deal and leave each other an honest review. No agencies. No cold outreach.
Creators post a brief and local businesses respond with offers
Businesses post a request and local creators pitch to work with them

The Linksy app is live for Cardiff creators and local businesses.
Free for creators. The web app works on your phone.
Businesses and creators agree the fee for each collab and pay each other directly. Linksy never takes a cut.
After a deal, either side can tick "Mark as paid" so both can see it is settled.
Why Linksy
Not another influencer tool
Linksy works both ways. Creators post demand, businesses post demand, and Linksy matches the two.
Two-way marketplace
Creators post needs and businesses post requests. Whoever moves first, the other side responds. No cold outreach either way.
Built for your city
Linksy launches city by city, starting in Cardiff. Creator and business matches stay local. No irrelevant results.
Flexible deal types
Gifted, barter, affiliate, or paid. Every partnership model is supported.
No agency required
Small businesses access influencer marketing directly, without expensive agencies.
Verified businesses
Businesses can ask for a free check with their website or Companies House number, plus Instagram. We check them by hand and real businesses get a coral Verified business badge. Unchecked businesses show as Not yet verified, and chats remind creators: never pay a business to work with them.
Photos and packages
Add up to 4 photos to any brief or request. Creators can list packages with prices, like 1 Instagram Reel, £150, so cards show "from £150".
Protected creator contact details
Creators' social handles, links to their posts and any contact details in their bio are only shown to businesses on Linksy Pro, so collabs happen through Linksy.
Honest two-way reviews
Both sides leave an honest review after every collab. Disputed reviews are checked by the Linksy team.
Who is behind Linksy
Built in Cardiff, for people who are tired of cold outreach
Linksy is built by Sean in Wales. The idea came while watching a YouTube video one evening: a creator was showing off a product they clearly loved, and Sean kept thinking, if I was that creator, how would I get the chance to work with that business? And if I was that business, how would I find the right creator in the first place? The match felt obvious, but the path to get there did not exist.
That same thought kept coming up around live music. Sean loves gigs, and watching venues in Cardiff struggle or close is hard when there are so many spaces across South Wales that could host brilliant events: community halls, hotel function rooms, bars with a corner for a PA, arts centres, rooftops, basements. The problem is not a lack of places; it is that the people with the space and the people with the idea never find each other.
So Linksy flips it. Post what you need, and the right match comes to you. Whether it is a creator looking for a brand or a business looking for a creator, Linksy starts with those matches in Cardiff. The live music side is coming at the end of 2027, with the same goal: keep events and live music going in spaces we never really think about.
Linksy is independent and built in Wales. There is no big investor or agency behind it, just Sean and the first Cardiff members, and every one of them helps shape what launches.
