In depth

How influencer marketing works.

Trust borrowed, not bought

People trust recommendations from creators they follow. Influencer marketing works when the creator genuinely fits your product and their audience matches your customers, so the recommendation feels natural.

Finding the right creators

We look beyond follower counts at audience location, demographics, engagement quality and past content. A smaller creator with a loyal, relevant audience often outperforms a bigger name.

Clear briefs, creative freedom

Creators know what their audience responds to. We provide a clear brief covering key messages, rules and goals, then give them room to make content in their own style.

Properly labelled

In the UK, paid or gifted promotions must be clearly identified as advertising. We make sure every partnership follows the rules set by the Advertising Standards Authority and the CMA.

Content you can reuse

With the right agreements, creator content can be reused in your own social posts, ads and website, extending its value well beyond the original post.

Measured like any channel

We track reach, engagement, clicks, discount codes and sales, so you can see what each partnership delivers.

Avoid these

Common influencer marketing mistakes.

Choosing by follower count

Large audiences can hide low engagement or the wrong demographics. Relevance matters more than reach.

Over-scripting

Content that sounds like an advert performs badly. Let creators speak in their own voice.

Missing ad labels

Unlabelled paid content breaks UK advertising rules and damages trust.

No tracking

Without unique links or codes, it is hard to know what each creator delivered.

One-off posts only

A single post rarely changes much. Repeated, longer-term partnerships build stronger results.

Use cases

Who influencer marketing suits.

Ecommerce and DTC brands

Product demonstrations and honest reviews drive traffic and sales directly.

Beauty, fashion and lifestyle

Visual products that people love to see in real use.

Food and hospitality

Local food and travel creators can fill tables and rooms.

Apps and SaaS

Tutorials and walkthroughs from creators in your niche show your product in action.

Local businesses

Local creators with engaged nearby followers can drive real footfall.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Micro or macro influencers?

Micro-influencers often deliver higher engagement and trust; larger creators offer reach. Most campaigns benefit from a mix.

How do you measure ROI?

With tracked links, discount codes, platform data and post-campaign analysis.

Do you handle contracts?

Yes. We handle briefs, agreements, usage rights and disclosure requirements.

Is influencer content clearly labelled?

Yes. All partnerships follow UK advertising rules on disclosure.

How much does influencer marketing cost?

It varies widely with the creator’s audience, the content and usage rights. Many brands start with gifted collaborations and a small paid budget before scaling up.

How do you find creators?

Using creator search tools, social platforms and our own research, then vetting each one for audience fit and quality.

Can we use creator content in our ads?

Yes, if usage rights are agreed in the contract. We always confirm rights before reusing content.

Do creators need to label gifted products?

If a brand has any control over the content, it generally needs to be labelled as an ad. We follow ASA and CMA guidance on each case.

How long does a campaign take?

A typical campaign takes six to eight weeks from planning to final report.

Do you work with TikTok creators?

Yes, along with Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn creators, depending on where your audience spends time.

Can you run campaigns in specific regions?

Yes. We can focus on creators whose audiences are concentrated in particular towns, cities or countries.

What if a creator posts something off-brief?

Contracts and approval steps reduce the risk. If something goes wrong, we work with the creator to correct it quickly.

Do you manage payments to creators?

We can coordinate payments as part of the campaign, or you can pay creators directly.

Can influencer marketing help SEO?

Indirectly. It can raise brand awareness and branded searches, and sometimes earns links and mentions.

Do you check for fake followers?

Yes. We review audience quality and engagement patterns to spot signs of fake followers or bought engagement.

Can we work with creators long-term?

Yes. Ambassador programmes often bring better results than one-off posts, as audiences see repeated, genuine recommendations.

Do you need product samples?

For product campaigns, yes. Creators need to try the product to talk about it honestly.

Is influencer marketing right for B2B?

It can be. Industry experts and LinkedIn creators can reach decision-makers with credible, educational content.

What do you report on?

Reach, engagement, clicks, code use, sales and the cost of each partnership, with recommendations for next steps.

Can we choose the creators?

Yes. We shortlist and recommend creators, and you have the final say on who represents your brand.

How do you brief creators?

A short brief covers the product, key messages, what must and must not be said, labelling rules, deadlines and examples of content we like, leaving room for the creator’s own style.

Can influencer content work as paid ads?

Yes. With usage rights agreed, creator content can be run as ads from your account or the creator’s, often performing better than studio-made creative.

How do we measure sales from creators?

Unique discount codes, tracked links and, where possible, platform shopping tools show which creators drive orders.
