Written by Influencity | Jun 13, 2023 6:22:00 AM

According to a study published by Adobe in 2022, 1 in 4 people worldwide are contributing to the creator economy. The rise of marketing with creators (or influencers) has consequently led to the rise of agencies that facilitate the relationship between brands and influencers. Keep reading for a summary of some of the best influencer marketing agencies to work with in 2023.

What Is an Influencer Marketing Agency?

Influencer marketing agencies help businesses collaborate with influencers in order to connect audiences with their products or services. Like any other agency, they function as a middleman, identifying suitable candidates, negotiating terms of contracts, and measuring the success of the partnership. 

However, new agencies are now disrupting the standard way of doing business, harnessing data and technology to put a face to market segments and creating stories that move, entertain, and involve audiences in a way that’s never been done before. Influencer marketing agencies are reevaluating the way we think about social media – here are 10 of the agencies that are doing it the best.

  1. Alkimiads
  2. Americanoize
  3. Gifta
  4. Goat Agency
  5. GUT Agency
  6. Kairos Media
  7. Mediabrands Content Studio
  8. Moburst
  9. The Shelf
  10. Ubiquitous

 Alkimiads

For brands looking for in-depth creator performance statistics while still sticking to an open scouting approach, Alkimiads influencer marketing agency has the answer. By harnessing AI and Machine Learning technologies, they are able to analyze a wide range of profiles – not just the influencers who have chosen to opt in. Opening campaigns to independent content creators helps brands target different niches, and social listening tools together with tight campaign management ensure that brands and influencers are always aligned.

Americanoize

Americanoize specializes in bringing a brand’s story to life via impactful influencer marketing campaigns. While many agencies claim to be end-to-end, Americanoize truly puts emphasis on setting the correct groundwork – all campaigns start with detailed market research in order to fully understand the preferences of the target audience. Once this target has been set, all influencers are thoroughly vetted to ensure their authenticity and suitability for your campaigns. Follow-up is also a key part of their process, and performance reports and suggestions for improvement are provided to analyze the value of each collaboration. This Miami-based influencer marketing agency specializes in campaigns centered around non-fungible tokens (NFTs), sports, health, and clean beauty. 

Gifta

Product seeding, or influencer gifting, is a great strategy to get your product out there and secure authentic reviews and valuable user-generated content. But only when done correctly. Misplaced seeding can result in wasted product – or even worse – bad reviews from influencers. This is where Gifta comes in. By connecting your brand with content creators and audiences that have already professed interest in your products or services, they take the mystery out of what would otherwise be a numbers game. Just send some samples and let Gifta do the rest – they’ll provide personalized packaging and send your product to the storytellers who are eager to try it out and share it on their feeds. 

Goat Agency

Goat influencer marketing agency may be based in London, but the sun never sets on their global influencer teams – hubs in the US, UK, and Singapore ensure coverage in all time zones and all corners of the globe. Goat takes pride in being a completely neutral agency, meaning they base their profile selections on customers’ needs and data gathered from CRM systems, not obligations to specific channels or profiles. This commitment to transparency also extends to their reporting – all of Goat's deliverables are guaranteed upfront, providing brands with the assurance of what they'll get for their budget. 

GUT Agency

Mediabrands Content Studio Canada
