Influencer Partnerships

Influencer marketing isn't buying followers; it's borrowing trust someone else has built. Done with the wrong name, what you borrow is distrust.

Who this service is for

  • «We paid an influencer, and nothing happened.»Usually the cause isn't the name but the setup: the wrong brief, the wrong timing or an unmeasured result.
  • «We don't know how many followers our creator should have.»Follower count is the weakest indicator. Audience overlap and comment quality are far more decisive.
  • «We wanted to use the content, and it turned out we had no rights.»If usage rights aren't in the contract, good content is published once and disappears. This is the most common mistake.

What's included

01Creator research and vetting

Reviewing audience overlap, engagement quality and past partnerships.

02Fake follower check

Detecting inflated followers and engagement. Work done before any payment is made.

03Contract and usage rights

What will be published, how long it stays up, whether it can be used in ads — in writing.

04Brief and content management

A brief that carries the brand's karat without spoiling the creator's voice. Balancing the two is the job itself.

05Publishing and compliance

Meeting paid partnership labeling and ad disclosure requirements.

06Measuring results

Real return through tracking links, discount codes and brand search lift.

How we work

The real return of an influencer partnership is often not the sales that week, but the content you keep afterwards and the lift in brand searches.

What we measure

The change in search volume for the brand name during the partnership.

EfficiencyCost per piece of content

The fee paid divided by the number of usable pieces of content you keep.

Frequently asked questions

Our budget is small — can we still do it?

Yes — it can even be more efficient on a small budget. Working with creators who have few followers but a clearly defined audience gives better results in most categories than paying the same money to one big name — and leaves you with more usable content.

Do you work with celebrities?

It depends on the category and budget. But let's say this upfront: in most cases a celebrity name brings awareness, not sales. If you're expecting sales, names with a narrow audience and high trust work better — and we present the comparison in numbers.

Can payment be a product swap?

It can, and it's often used at small scale. Expectations shrink accordingly: in a product-swap deal you have less say over delivery time and content quality. We still recommend getting usage rights in writing.

Take it on its own, or as part of a partnership.

Influencer Partnerships can also be done as a standalone project: clear scope, clear timeline, no 12-month commitment. In a full partnership, they run alongside the other work your brand needs, handled by the same team. We decide together on the discovery call which suits you.
