Creator management agencies in the United States.
The United States is the largest creator management market, with agencies clustered in Los Angeles, Miami, and New York and many operating remotely nationwide. Most creators here work as independent contractors, so a fair contract, transparent payouts, and clear tax handling matter as much as growth. We match you free with vetted partners.

The market here
The country spans six main time zones, which matters for chatting coverage and posting schedules. Agencies range from boutique teams to full management groups, and many work remotely across state lines. Across the wider market, management commissions commonly run 20 to 50 percent of net revenue, after the platform's 20 percent cut, with full service rates often landing between 30 and 50 percent. Newer creators are sometimes quoted higher.
On tax, creators are independent contractors, not employees. You report income on Schedule C and pay self employment tax on Schedule SE once net earnings reach 400 dollars, at 15.3 percent on 92.35 percent of net. For 2026, the 1099-NEC reporting threshold rose to 2,000 dollars under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, but you must report all income whether or not a form arrives. A good agency keeps clean payout records that make this straightforward.
