We're Looking for 10 Founding Brands to Trial Australia's First AI-Powered Micro-Influencer Platform
Mega Donkey lets you run large-scale micro-influencer campaigns across TikTok and Instagram — managing 50+ creators as easily as one. We're opening after Easter and seeking founding brands to trial the full platform, completely free.
Influencer Marketing Shouldn't Require a Full-Time Employee
Right now, running a micro-influencer campaign with 50 creators takes 58 hours of manual work — briefing, DMs, chasing content, processing payments, verifying posts. That's nearly 40% of a full-time employee's monthly bandwidth, just on admin.
Mega Donkey replaces that entire workflow with one platform. Brands post a campaign, creators apply, payment is held in escrow, content is reviewed, and posts are verified — all from a single dashboard.
It's the operating system for micro-influencer marketing.
Manual labour to onboard 50 creators
Individual comms required per campaign
Annual losses from influencer fraud
Of marketers who struggle to measure ROI
100 Creators × 1,000 Followers Beats 1 Creator × 100,000 Followers
Micro-influencers with 1,000–10,000 followers deliver 60% higher engagement rates than macro-influencers. Their audiences trust them. Their content feels real. Mega Donkey is built on this insight. We call it the 'Blanket Campaign' — instead of betting your budget on one big name, you blanket TikTok and Instagram with authentic content from dozens of real creators.
- 1 post
- 1 audience
- 1 piece of content
- High cost, high risk
- 50 posts across TikTok & Instagram
- 50 unique, engaged audiences

From Brief to Published Content. In Days, Not Weeks.
Post Your Campaign
Set your budget, write your brief (or let AI write it in 2 minutes), and publish. Fixed rates mean zero negotiation.
Creators Apply to You
No more cold DMs. Verified Australian micro-influencers browse your campaign and apply directly. You choose who to work with.
Content Created & Approved
Creators produce content per your brief. You review and can request one revision. Clear, structured, no scope creep.
Published & Verified
Creators post to their channels. You verify the post is live. Payment auto-releases from escrow. Done.

Built for Brands Who Are Scaling Creator Marketing
DTC E-Commerce Brands
You're selling on Shopify, running Meta/TikTok ads, and need a constant stream of fresh UGC. You've tried working with influencers manually — it doesn't scale.
Marketing Teams at Growing Brands
Your social media manager is drowning in DMs and spreadsheets. They should be doing strategy, not admin. You need a system that handles the logistics.
Performance Marketers Fighting Ad Fatigue
Your best ad creative dies after 2 weeks. You need 20–50 new variations per month to keep ROAS stable. Agencies can't move fast enough.

Who Are We?
From agency frustration to platform innovation.
Mega Donkey started life as Wear Cape, a traditional influencer marketing agency founded in 2019. We did what agencies do — we connected brands with influencers, managed campaigns, and collected our retainer.
But we kept noticing something that didn't add up.
Our clients were spending thousands on celebrity endorsements and mega-influencers with millions of followers. The content looked great. The reach numbers were impressive. But the results? Often disappointing.
Meanwhile, the brands seeing real traction weren't chasing fame — they were quietly working with dozens of smaller creators whose audiences actually listened.
So we built the platform we always wished existed. One that makes it easy to run large-scale micro-influencer campaigns without the spreadsheets, the DM chaos, and the 58-hour admin weeks.
