Testimonials

What our clients love about us

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.

LaToya Ingleton

It was amazing to work with Stephanie and Kitty on our holiday Influencer programs. Responsive, professional and hard working - perfect partners! - would recommend over and over!

Andrew Verescak

Senior V.P. of Business Development

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.

Colleen Roberts

Manager, Media, Global Marketing

Having blogged for 10 years and having worked with a plethora of agencies, The Influence Agency team has been one of the top agencies I've connected with. Their ability to both balance creator relations and interests, while maintaining the priorities of their brands is incredibly impressive. As a creator, the team is always supportive and responsive and truly makes developing branded content seamless! I always look forward to working with them!

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

I’ve had the pleasure of working with The Influence Agency for over five years, and they continue to impress me with their professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for the people they work with. As they’ve grown, they’ve managed to maintain the same kind and collaborative spirit that made them stand out from the start. The team goes above and beyond to advocate for their clients, while still prioritizing building authentic partnerships and strengthening relationships across the creator space.
