New York is five boroughs and a national stage

New York creators do two different jobs, and a brief should say which one it wants. Some reach New Yorkers: Brooklyn food and nightlife accounts, Queens creators reaching one of the most linguistically diverse places in the world, Bronx and Harlem culture voices, and Manhattan fitness and dining. Others are national media figures who happen to live in the city, and their audience is spread across the country. A restaurant opening needs the first kind, a national product launch staged in the city often needs the second.

Ask for audience location by city, not just by country, before you book. A creator with a New York address and a largely out of state following is a sound buy for a national launch event and a poor one for a neighbourhood store.

The New York calendar, events, and filming on the street

New York Fashion Week runs each February and September, the Met Gala falls on the first Monday in May, the US Open fills late August and early September, and the holiday season from Thanksgiving through New Year brings window displays and gifting content. Fashion and beauty creators are booked out around each of these, so contract early for the week itself or plan a moment just after it, when feeds are quieter.

Creator content shot on New York streets is usually handheld and needs no permit, but a shoot that brings equipment, crew, or blocks the sidewalk can need one from the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment. Check before an activation is planned around a location, and build weather days into any outdoor shoot between December and March.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit for a creator shoot in New York?

Handheld filming in public generally does not need one, but a shoot with equipment, a crew, or that affects pedestrian or vehicle traffic can require a permit from the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment. Check before you lock the location.

Should a New York campaign use local or national creators?

Local creators for anything people must visit, such as a store, restaurant, or event. National creators based in the city for launches meant to travel. Audience location by city tells you which a creator is.
