Influencer marketing is a strategy where brands partner with social media personalities or industry figures to promote products or services to their audience. Influencer marketing involves the use of trusted voices to boost awareness, credibility, and engagement. The meaning of influencer marketing relies on authentic recommendations that feel more relatable than traditional advertising, helping brands connect with potential customers more effectively.
Types of influencer marketing include:
Each approach helps brands reach audiences in authentic, engaging ways.
Influencer Marketing is demonstrated when brands partner with influencer whose audience matches their target market.

Vito Mastrorillo:
President
At Universal Music, we are frequently tasked with launching new albums and products with little to no notice which can prove challenging for traditional agencies.
The team at the Influence Agency have proven time and time again their ability to be both nimble and efficient at delivering influencer campaigns that are strategically targeted, creative and most importantly impactful with our artists audiences.
Fraser MacKenzie
Senior Director Digital
Working with The Influence Agency to help launch our TikTok and Pinterest ad campaign strategies over the last 9 months was one of the best decisions we've made this year. We searched across Canada for an agency to align with our vision and marketing needs and found that their offerings and ratings were second to none. It's been a dream to work with both the team who were not only terrific and quick communicators (even with the time difference!), but also very professional and knowledgeable - clear experts in their field. We've been happy with our results and would recommend TIA!

We have been working with TIA for 2+ years here at Staples and it's been an absolutely wonderful experience. They bring great energy and knowledge to the table and we have seen a great impact on our social channels ever since they took on our account. Cannot recommend enough!

Wow – what an event! We are still buzzing over here. It was truly a memorable evening. The attention to detail was particularly impressive. Every element, from the décor, the drink menu names, the photo booth, the signage, etc., was meticulously planned and executed. It’s clear there was a lot of thought and care into making the event special.
We appreciate all the hard work that went into making our new line's launch party successful.

The Influence Agency put on one of my favorite events ever for the launch of youtheory in Canada! The vibe was unmatched, with staff and creators enjoying themselves equally on the rooftop. It was also very diverse - both men and women were in attendance, which is rare since these events are usually female-dominated. They also didn’t forget us mature creators! It was refreshing to be part of a launch that values my age group. Thank you so much for the invite, TIA! More brands should take a page out of your book.

The Influence Agency is phenomenal. They’re incredible outside-the-box thinkers and we’re a great alternative to the traditional marketing efforts taken for the NFP I work for. We worked directly with Stephanie and Tom, both who had a high level understanding of the industry and a completely professional approach to social promotion. Looking forward to working with their team again!
