While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software.

The Catch+Release Creator Marketplace is where brands find authentic UGC, and creators earn money from content they’ve already made. License Authentic UGC Moments | Over 12,000 Creators We help brands discover real photos and videos they can legally use in their advertising, and we help creators get paid for everyday moments sitting on their phones, drives, and social feeds. For brands: Catch+Release makes it easy to find genuine, human moments for TV, social, digital, and CTV campaigns. Brands of all sizes — from global advertisers to fast-growing DTC shops, CPG companies, and local businesses — use our marketplace to search for candid UGC, upload briefs into Content Genie for instant matches, or review curated galleries from our in-house team. When a brand selects a piece of content, we guide them through a simple rights and permission process so the content is cleared for safe commercial use. For small to enterprise businesses: You don’t need a big budget or a full production team to create great ads. With Catch+Release, you can find real-life moments from real people that fit your story, whether you’re a Shopify brand launching your first ad, a local business running paid social, or a larger company producing a full campaign. Search for the moments you need, choose what fits, and we’ll help you get permission to use it safely. For creators: Creators upload or import the content they already have, whether it’s everyday clips, b-roll, test shoots, or polished edits. Brands discover this work through marketplace search, campaign briefs, and our curation team. When a brand wants to license a piece, creators receive a clear offer explaining how the content will be used and how much they could earn. They stay fully in control and always keep ownership of their work. Catch+Release makes it simple for real people and real brands to connect through real moments. Creators, upload your moments at catchandrelease.com — it’s free to join. Brands, discover new ones at catchandrelease.com — it’s free to search.

Process was so easy to have my content
Process was so easy to have my content licensed! Catch and release reached out to me, showed me the clip/video they were interested in, sent me an offer, told me when I would receive a response & they got back to me on that exact date! Smooth process! Can't wait to hopefully use again!

Legit and easy to work with
I was skeptical when they contacted me at first, but it was real! The timeline they communicated was spot on. It was a very easy process to get my video licensed and used in a commercial.

Easy and reliable with great support
We’ve had a really great experience with Catch+Release. The service is excellent and the team is always friendly and helpful. We’ve licensed footage through them multiple times, and each time the process was a breeze from start to finish. Highly recommend!
