About Jestr

The way people discover games has changed.

You don't need an expensive trailer, tons of press, or deep industry connections to get millions of people talking about your game anymore. Sometimes, all it takes is a couple of viral clips.

But getting studios and creators to actually work together still kinda sucks.

Studios spend hours finding creators, sending emails, negotiating rates, and paying upfront hoping for a good ROI.

Creators spend years building audiences while relying on inconsistent platform monetization and hoping the right brand eventually reaches out.

We built Jestr to make things suck less for everyone.

We're pretty picky.

Jestr is a closed marketplace, and every creator is vetted before getting access. We care a lot about the quality of the content on Jestr, and we've built a community of some of the best short-form gaming creators in the world.

But we don't think quality stops at who we let in.

We run workshops, events, feedback sessions, build free creator tools, and work directly with our creators to help them get better at what they do. We're content creators ourselves, we've run social media for game studios, and we spend an unreasonable amount of time watching short-form gaming content so we know what good looks like ;)

Our model works a little differently too. Studios pay based on performance, while creators get more freedom over what they make and the chance to earn based on how well their content performs.

That tradeoff only works if both sides are good at what they do.

So we're picky about the studios we work with too.

Better games + better creators = better content.
