Let's grow the ant-keeping community together.
Are you a YouTuber, educator, or content creator interested in ants, insects, terrariums, nature, science, or educational projects?
Canada Ant Colony wants to work with you!
We're a Canadian ant-keeping business looking to partner with creators who share our enthusiasm for the hobby. Whether you're an established channel or just getting started, we'd love to hear from you.
You don't need thousands of subscribers to work with us. We value creativity, genuine enthusiasm, and a commitment to making great content.
Who can apply?
We're interested in creators making content about:
-
Ant keeping and insects - colony updates, husbandry, species profiles, and equipment reviews.
-
Terrariums and miniature ecosystems - habitat building, bioactive enclosures, and ecosystem experiments.
-
Science and education - biology, entomology, classroom activities, and educational experiments.
-
Nature and wildlife - animal behaviour, ecology, and fascinating discoveries.
-
Educational toys and hobbies - hands-on learning, product demonstrations, and family-friendly projects.
We welcome creators working in both English and French.
What we're looking for
Our program primarily focuses on long-form videos and substantial, original content. We want to help creators develop projects that engage viewers, tell a story, and introduce more people to the hobby.
As a general guideline, we're particularly interested in creators with:
-
Emerging channels: Around 2,000+ average views per long-form video.
-
Growing channels: Around 10,000+ average views per long-form video.
-
Established niche channels: Around 50,000+ average views per long-form video.
These are guidelines, not strict minimums. Smaller creators are encouraged to apply, especially if their content is relevant, their audience is engaged, or they have an exciting idea for a collaboration.
We prioritize long-form content over Shorts and other short-form videos. Short-form content may still be considered as part of a broader collaboration.
We evaluate recent views, audience fit, content quality, and creative potential — not just subscriber counts.
More than a sponsorship: learn how to create better content
We want to help small creators grow, not just send them products.
Through our experience in content creation, we have developed a body of knowledge about developing ideas, building engaging videos, finding compelling hooks, telling stories, and reaching new audiences.
We're happy to share relevant insights with creators who want to improve their work and build their channels.
Depending on the collaboration, this may include:
-
Brainstorming video concepts and finding interesting angles.
-
Developing stronger hooks, narratives, and video structures.
-
Advice on presenting scientific or educational subjects in an engaging way.
-
Feedback on content ideas and approaches to audience growth.
-
Helping new creators identify opportunities to develop their channels.
You don't need to have everything figured out before applying. If you're passionate about your subject and willing to learn, we'd like to hear from you.
How we can work together
Affiliate partnerships
Eligible creators may have the opportunity to receive unique discount codes or referral links to share with their audiences.
Product sponsorships
We may provide selected creators with Canada Ant Colony products to feature in their content, demonstrate in a setup, or review honestly.
Paid collaborations
For suitable projects, we may offer paid sponsorships for product integrations, dedicated videos, or other agreed deliverables.
Support for emerging creators
Smaller creators may be considered for product support, creative guidance, or collaborations that help them develop their content. Opportunities depend on the creator, the proposed project, and our available resources.
All partnerships are subject to review, product availability, and mutual agreement. Applying does not guarantee sponsorship.
How to apply
Send us a short introduction containing:
-
Your channel: Links to your YouTube channel or other platforms.
-
Your audience: Your subscriber count and typical views on recent long-form videos.
-
Your content: Two or three examples of videos you've created.
-
Your idea: What would you like to make, and which of our products interest you?
-
Your location: Which country are you based in?
You don't need a formal media kit. A few links and a short message are enough.
