Influencer enables brands to be seen at scale across digital; driving growth and guaranteed success on social media. We build meaningful relationships between creators and brands, whilst making advertising effective, but more importantly inclusive.

Our purpose is to Make Waves; an idea seeded in the fact that our creators tell stories that build human connections, which set off waves of influence. These waves of influence become our data layers, from which we measure the impact. Our clients and creators make waves, we measure the impact.

We are an Official Global Marketing Partner with Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

Co-founded by entrepreneur Ben Jeffries and YouTuber Caspar Lee, we’re a global team, with some of the best talent in the industry, championing a new era of creativity and producing award-winning campaigns for brands such as Alibaba, PepsiCo, Mars, Procter & Gamble, Pernod Ricard and Pokerstars, to name a few.

Influencer are one of the first companies to pop up in the space and are among the market leaders within this booming industry. We were placed in the Top 50 Best companies to work for and recently won Campaigns Best Places to Work 2022 for the second year running!
