If you’ve been part of the Lionize platform, you may have recently received an email about a major update: Lionize is now Creator Opportunity, and it’s powered by a newer platform called partnrUP.
I’ve personally been a part of Lionize and just received my invite to transition over. If you’re wondering what this means for you as a content creator, especially if you’re just starting out or growing slowly, this section breaks it all down for you.
🧭 What Changed?
- Old Platform Name: Lionize
- New Platform Name: Creator Opportunity
- Powered By: partnrUP
This isn’t just a simple name change. It’s a shift in how the platform works and how opportunities are distributed. Creator Opportunity now runs on partnrUP’s infrastructure, meaning a more streamlined user experience and better tools for managing brand deals.
📩 How Does The Switch From Lionize to Creator Opportunity Work?
If you were already part of Lionize, you should have received a personalized email invite to set up your Creator Opportunity account on partnrUP. I got mine recently and it walked me through claiming my new dashboard, re-entering my niche info, and updating my content stats.
If you haven’t received an invite:
- Check your inbox and spam folder for anything from “Creator Opportunity” or “partnrUP”
- Visit https://www.creatoropportunity.com to learn more
- Or go directly to https://www.partnrup.com to see if you can register manually or request access
🤔 What Does This Mean for You as a Creator?
Here’s what to expect:
- You’ll need to re-create your profile
Your previous Lionize info (like past campaigns or profile details) may not transfer automatically. Plan to re-enter your stats, rates, and niche so brands can find you. - A better backend system
partnrUP’s infrastructure offers a more modern dashboard, easier navigation, and clearer communication between creators and brands. Expect a more efficient experience overall. - More diverse campaign opportunities
With this new setup, Creator Opportunity is aiming to offer a wider range of brand campaigns—including up-and-coming brands looking for nano- and micro-influencers. - More data = more deals
The new platform is designed to help brands discover creators through specific metrics and niche alignment. That means staying updated and accurate on your end can help you get matched faster.
🔍 Pro Tips for Making the Most of the Switch
- Complete your new profile fully – Include your content categories, audience data, rates, and portfolio samples.
- Check in weekly – The platform is evolving, so checking for new campaigns regularly gives you a leg up.
- Stay open to lesser-known brands – This is especially useful if you’re a small creator; these brands are hungry for visibility and often more willing to take a chance on smaller influencers with strong engagement.
- Use a brand deal tracker – Keep track of who you’ve pitched, applied to, and heard back from. (Psst—you can grab my free Brand Deal Starter Kit below for one!)
💬 Final Thoughts About The Switch From Lionize to Creator Opportunity
