The 50 most-booked micro-creators

Ranked by repeat bookings, not follower count — the operators brands quietly rehire every quarter.

Posthype Studio

Follower-count rankings measure popularity. This one measures something brands care about far more: who gets rehired. We ranked the 50 micro-creators with the most repeat bookings across the trailing year.

The list skews toward operators, not stars. The creators brands quietly rehire every quarter are the ones who deliver clean data, hit deadlines, and convert — the unglamorous work that doesn't trend but always books.

Repeat business is the only ranking that matters

Repeat business is the only ranking that survives an attribution review. Everything else is a vanity chart.

Popularity trends. Repeat business compounds.
