Digital Marketing: Influencer Marketing and Partnerships
Influencer marketing works when authenticity is more than a buzzword: the right creators, the right format, the right message. We manage the entire process — from data-driven creator selection through contract negotiation and briefing to post-campaign performance measurement. We focus on long-term partnerships over one-off posts, because sustained trust-building delivers more than a brief spike in reach.
Challenges you'll recognise
- You've tried influencer collaborations before but can't say afterwards whether they were worth the investment.
- Finding suitable creators takes a disproportionate amount of time because there's no structured selection method.
- Briefed influencers produce content that doesn't fit the brand — because the brief was either too open or too restrictive.

- Brand PartnershipsThe right brand partnership opens audiences that are hard to reach through classic paid channels. We identify complementary brands, develop cooperation formats – co-branding, joint campaigns, cross-promotions – and accompany the partnership from the first contact through to joint performance measurement. The key: both sides must deliver genuine value to their audiences.Learn more
Good to know
Size isn't everything
Nano- and micro-influencers often have significantly higher engagement rates than large accounts, along with a tighter, more topically focused audience. For niche products or specific communities, they can be more relevant and more cost-efficient than high-reach macro accounts.
Authenticity needs creative space
Content that reads like advertising is quickly recognised as such by audiences — and ignored. Creators need enough creative freedom to translate the message into their own voice. Over-scripted content undermines effectiveness.
Long-term beats one-off
One-off collaborations create short-term visibility but little trust. Long-term partnerships and ambassador models allow creators to speak about a brand more credibly and repeatedly — which amplifies impact considerably.
