Channel snapshot
@whatmakesitclick is a young channel. These are real numbers from its first month, shown as they are.
As of 6 Nov 2026.
Who we make this for
Our editorial focus is curious people who want to understand the technology in their lives. That is the starting point for a good partnership—not a promise that every viewer is the same.
Familiar devices and surprising details. A natural place to show what makes a product useful, clever or different.
Apps, privacy and the systems behind a tap or a search. Bring clarity to a feature people might otherwise overlook.
AI and new technology explained through everyday use, with the context and limitations that matter.
The right context for your brand. A useful feature, a surprising mechanism or a better digital habit can become the starting point for a story. Tell us what makes your product worth a closer look.
Find your angleWays to work together
For sponsors, brand teams, agencies and fellow creators. We shape the collaboration around the story, the channel and what you need it to do.
An Instagram Reel built around a useful feature, a real question or an interesting mechanism—with your product as part of the explanation.
Bring an idea, expertise or a product worth exploring. We can discuss a co-created story or creator collaboration with a clear role for everyone.
Explore a series of related stories when the product has more to explain. Themes, deliverables and publishing cadence are agreed together.
A useful fit beats a forced mention
Consumer technology, useful apps, creative tools, privacy products and thoughtful new ideas. The strongest brief gives us a real question to answer.
Your product, audience, objective and timing. Tell us what people should understand or do after watching.
Discuss creative direction, factual claims, deliverables, review stages and budget before production.
Agree publishing, sponsorship disclosure, usage rights, exclusivity and any reporting. Reuse or paid promotion is scoped separately.
What you get
There is no public price list: every partnership is scoped by email first. This is what you can expect.
We research the angle, write the script, then design, animate and voice the reel. The number of reels is agreed with you.
Published on @whatmakesitclick with a visible paid-partnership label, on a date we agree in advance.
You approve the angle and script before we animate, and the finished cut before it is published. Review rounds are agreed upfront.
After publishing we share the post’s Instagram figures, such as views and reach. We don’t promise results in advance.
Usage rights, such as reposting, paid media use and exclusivity, are agreed separately.
Trust belongs in the brief
Sponsored content should be recognisable as sponsored. Product claims need evidence, and an explanation should be useful even before someone clicks through.
We discuss creative fit before accepting a project. We do not promise a fixed number of views, sales or campaign outcomes.
Need content for your own channels instead? Our video & motion work is a separate service. A production brief does not automatically include a placement on @whatmakesitclick.
For our sister channel, explore What Makes It Run sponsorships. Each channel’s audience and scope are considered separately.
