Instagram this week announced the expansion of its Creator Marketplace to eight new markets, making it easier for brands and creators to connect and collaborate on partnership opportunities. This follows the successful testing of the tool in the US in 2022.
The new markets include Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Japan, India, Brazil, and China (export brands only). Additionally, Instagram is testing machine learning-based recommendations to help brands discover creators who are a good fit for their campaigns.

- Collaborate: Creators can review details, rates, and requirements within the app.
- Create & Launch: Collaborations can involve boosted organic content or new partnership ads created in Ads Manager.
