Our take
The creator economy is booming, and DTC brands are increasingly realising that influencers offer unique and effective marketing opportunities. The issue is forging the right influencer partnerships, and managing or monitoring that relationship once it’s established.
Grin is a platform helping DTC brands achieve this. It connects brands to influencers, and offers a broad suite of tools to subsequently help manage business operations like payments, campaigns, analytics, and product shipments.
Grin, however, isn’t the only startup to help brands broker and manage partnerships with creators. The likes of CreatorIQ and Impact also offer comprehensive partnership sourcing, management, and payments platforms, as do Tapfluence and Upfluence - both platforms with top-tier enterprise clients.
Grin, however, got a decent headstart since its founding nearly a decade ago, and has spent it wisely building out a competitive clientele base including Macy’s, SKIMS, and L’Oréal - plus some handsome funding. This leg-up will help it to compete in an increasingly crowded market, and to capitalize on the rapid growth of the US influencer marketing sector.
