About Do Me A Solid

Our mission at Do Me a Solid (DMS) is to create a Win-Win-Win outcome for Creators, Shoppers and Brands in the global Influencer Marketing space.

Our DMS Extension helps Creators boost the earnings from their brand partnerships. It reminds the followers of a Creator about the promo code their Creator carries when the followers are about to pay. The Shopper saves money; the Creator makes money. Win-Win.

We are a U.S-based early-stage start-up with a small team of Creators, Engineers, Marketers and Designers, scattered across New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Houston, Lagos, Madrid and Oslo.

Our success thus far has been predicated upon on our set of values:
  • Integrity- The Creators trust us with their followers- their source of livelihood. We must show the utmost integrity in how we conduct our business with them. If we can’t honor our word within the team then we can’t possibly honor our word to our customers.
  • Humility- Our team boasts quite a few highly intelligent and accomplished people individuals. Yet we have maintained a kind and supportive environment. This is because of our strict stance against arrogance. We let our work speak for itself.
  • Ownership- We encounter the unknown on a daily basis. Our people are able to quickly admit when they don’t know something, seek help immediately- within and outside of the team- or go learn what is necessary to accomplish the work. They take responsibility for their work.
  • Empathy- The better we are at understanding the customer's pain, the better equipped we are at building a solution that effectively addresses said problem. Empathy is critical to our work and is required by every member of the team.
