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.

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!

Guneet Benipal

Manager, Social Media Content

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!

Natasha Eng

Director, Social Media and 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!

@melhwang

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

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!

Nicki Lamont

If you're looking for experts in the digital space, you HAVE to team up with The Influence Agency. We've been leveraging their expertise for over 12 years, and couldn't be happier to have them on our side. They take pride in what they do, and have put together an incredibly versatile team that can take care of all of the digital services we require. Highly, highly recommend our friends at TIA.

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.

What is a face filter?

Custom Interactive face filters can be used on both Facebook and Instagram. They are fully customizable and are featured under a ‘Face Filter’ category display on your Instagram Business or Creator Profile.

Face filters on allow users to interact with your brand’s content through augmented reality (AR). These filters add virtual effects to the user’s face and surroundings. Effects can even respond to users’ facial movements!

What’s the difference between an AI face filter and an AR face filter?

The terms "AI face filter" and "AR face filter" are often used interchangeably, but there's a subtle distinction. AI face filters primarily leverage artificial intelligence algorithms to recognize facial features and apply enhancements or modifications. On the other hand, AR face filters (a.k.a. Augmented Reality face filters) incorporate computer-generated elements like masks, effects, or animations onto a user's face in real time. While AI contributes to the sophistication of AR filters, the latter encompasses a wider range of technologies! 

What’s possible when designing AR/AI face filters?

ALMOST, anything. If you have a specific idea for your own AR filter, it’s essential to mention it at the beginning of this process. We can execute many different filters, from games to photo-filters, 3D to 2D, and more!

Do you handle all aspects of the face filter development process?

Yes, we can! The process will change depending on whether we also manage your social media accounts for you or not. For most current clients, we handle all aspects, but we can just handle the creation, uploading, and management data tracking of your filters—to keep things simple!

Do you offer any discounts or packages for multiple face filters?

Yes, we do! Contact us for more information! 

How many elements can be added to a face filter?

Filters have sizing limitations for them to be uploaded and accepted within the SparkAR Hub on Facebook. Extensive filters will not work correctly due to these having to work on multiple types of phones and software. Luckily, we will help you through this process and do testing to ensure your filter will be accepted and work properly!

What other brands are using face filters on social media?

SO MANY. There are millions of filters on Instagram and Facebook currently. From local businesses to huge brands, the list is endless. Some notable names are Coca-Cola, Mac Cosmetics, NYX, Kylie Cosmetics, Adidas, Gucci, NBA, Disney, OneTreePlanted, Lancome, Netflix, LEGO, Amazon Prime Video, and more.
