Create content that helps people buy cars smarter.
Help us turn real vehicles, customer journeys, auction insights, and automotive knowledge into useful content people can understand and trust.
Create content. Inspire smarter car buyers.
This is a network for creators interested in working with Tokunbo Select on paid content projects. Opportunities may be project-based, recurring, on-camera, behind the camera, or remote editing assignments depending on the campaign.
The opportunity
Your craft. Your perspective.
Tokunbo Select creates practical automotive content around vehicle sourcing, US auctions, VIN checks, landed costs, shipping, repairs, ownership, and customer delivery stories.
We are building a network of creators who can help us communicate these topics clearly, creatively, and authentically across social media.
You do not need to do everything. You may be strongest as a presenter, videographer, editor, photographer, scriptwriter, or social media creator.
We care more about strong ideas, consistency, clarity, and execution than having the most expensive equipment.
Where you could contribute
Choose one or more categories that reflect your actual strengths. No creator is expected to cover every discipline.

Our content influences real vehicle-buying decisions, so we do not exaggerate vehicle condition, costs, risks, or expected outcomes.
Who we’re looking for
