Key Insights Revealed
Manual Outreach
Inefficiency
Brands were spending excessive time and resources on manually searching for, vetting, and negotiating with influencers.
Lack of Trust
and Security
Both influencers and brands faced risks related to payment fraud, unfulfilled contract terms, and a lack of a trusted intermediary.
Inadequate ROI
Measurement
Brands struggled to move beyond vanity metrics and measure the tangible business impact of their influencer campaigns.
Discovery Challenges
for Creators
Micro and mid-tier influencers found it incredibly difficult to get discovered by reputable brands offering fair compensation.
Fragmented
Communication
Using emails and DMs for professional collaborations led to miscommunication, lost details, and inefficient campaign management.
Scalability
Roadblocks
Existing methods of influencer marketing were not scalable, preventing brands from running multiple large-scale campaigns simultaneously.
To tackle all challenges efficiently, we used the following approach:
We conducted deep discovery sessions to map out the complex user journeys for both brands and influencers. We designed the system architecture, focusing on the core matching algorithm, secure transaction workflows, and a scalable multilingual framework.
Using an agile methodology, our team developed the platform in sprints. Key features included brand/influencer profiles, a campaign discovery portal, a secure in-app messaging and contract system, and the integration of a global payment gateway with escrow capabilities.
The platform underwent extensive QA and security testing. We launched a closed beta with a pilot group of international brands and influencers to gather feedback before the public launch, ensuring the platform was robust, intuitive, and market-ready.
Results: Transformed the influencer collaboration landscape with a streamlined, data-driven platform that fostered trust and drove growth.
75% Faster Campaign Launch
The platform's automated discovery and proposal system reduced the average time for a brand to find and secure an influencer from weeks to days.
30% Increase in Prospects
The centralized marketplace provided creators with greater visibility, leading to a significant increase in inbound collaboration offers from relevant brands.
Eliminated Payment Disputes
The secure escrow system successfully processed thousands of transactions without a single case of payment default, building immense trust within the community.

Brands using the analytics dashboard reported a 40% improvement in their ability to optimize campaigns and achieve measurable returns on their investment.
