Salary benchmarks
Our take
Influencer is a technology platform that simplifies influencer marketing for both advertisers and creators. Connecting global brands with a network of vetted macro and micro creators, ensuring authenticity, quality, and creativity.
Once a connection is made, brands collaborate with creators to promote their products organically through creative content. Alongside this, the platform also provides brands with in-depth analytics on both the creators and campaign performance.
As an Official Global Marketing Partner with Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch and Snapchat, Influencer has delivered award-winning campaigns for global brands like Xbox, NatWest, Amazon, Coca-Cola, Google, ASOS, and Spotify. With the growing shift towards influencer marketing, the company is poised to capitalize on this trend and extend its global reach.
