About

An agency's AI claim is useful when you can connect it to a campaign task. It might help find relevant creators, review their past content or analyse audience response. The buying decision still depends on the team that interprets those findings and turns them into a campaign.

We reviewed agencies with published AI capabilities and named creator work. Their services cover different parts of delivery, including audience mapping, authenticity checks, content production and reporting. Some case studies describe AI within the campaign itself. Others show execution experience alongside a current technology service.

For an influencer marketing manager, the next step is to connect those capabilities to your brief. Define the audience, the product explanation and the action you want to measure. Then ask which agency decisions the technology informs and which people own the final choice.

We built this list to make that comparison easier. The agency profiles explain the specific AI use and the scope of published campaign results. Use them to choose a shortlist, then examine how each team would select creators, manage approvals and report the work for your brand.

Billion Dollar Boy

75 /100
London, United Kingdom 201-500 people, London and New York

Billion Dollar Boy is a social and influencer agency with teams in London and New York. Its Companion technology uses AI for creator due diligence and reviewing historical content. Values Match scans help the team assess creator material against a brand's requirements, alongside managed creative and campaign delivery.

Argos used an episodic comedy programme to change perceptions of its premium products. BDB developed 122 content pieces and reported 38M views. The approach gave creators a recurring idea that could carry product stories across a larger body of work.

Microsoft's Creator Connect paired a hands-on event with content about practical product workflows. An Amazon bundle offer and paid distribution connected the experience with a purchase opportunity. The case reports 6.1M+ impressions and 56 attributed sales against a target of 50.

BDB suits a buyer who wants creator selection and review to support a substantial creative concept. Its current technology can be discussed as part of the casting and approval process. The published campaigns show how the team carries a brief into events, episodic content and distribution that encourages an audience to act.

Open Influence

68 /100
Los Angeles, CA 51-200 people, entertainment-led

Open Influence is a Los Angeles influencer agency offering strategy, production, paid media and campaign execution. Its Prism technology uses AI for creator discovery and vetting. The agency combines those tools with campaign management and client access to creator approvals, content feedback and reporting.

For Visit Philadelphia, creators shared activity ideas intended to encourage travel from nearby markets. Open Influence reported 2.1M+ organic impressions and 55K+ organic engagements. The campaign put a destination brief into content that audiences could use when planning what to do.

California Lottery's holiday programme connected creator gifting ideas with public pop-up events. The case reports 13K clicks and a $4.32 paid CPM, alongside 1.6M organic impressions. The work combined creator content, event activity and paid distribution within a seasonal campaign.

Consider Open Influence when you want an agency to own the execution around a creator shortlist. Its current AI discovery capability supports a broader service with production and media responsibilities. The case examples are useful for discussing how an audience idea becomes a content brief, how clients review the work and how organic results are reported alongside paid activity.

Monks

61 /100
London, UK Global network, production-led

Monks is an influencer marketing agency within a broader creative, media and technology business. Its service describes using generative AI and data in creator UGC production. It also manages creator concepts and campaign delivery, giving buyers a route to combine content with more involved distribution mechanics.

For Pringles and Netflix, AI recognised reactions during Twitch creator streams and triggered Amazon price changes. The agency reports premiere-night Amazon sales 432% above the daily average. The example shows a specific AI role within a creator activation linked to commerce.

Dove Hair's Project Baddie used social listening to inform selection. Creators developed their own concepts with brand feedback, and Monks reports over 600K views and a 4.8% average engagement rate. That programme provides a separate example of creator-led development and managed approvals.

Monks belongs on a shortlist when your brief needs a creator campaign to work with production or technology teams. Its published examples give you distinct delivery models to discuss. You can assess how much of the work should stay with the creator, what the agency should build and how the finished activation will reach its audience.

The Goat Agency logo

The Goat Agency

61 /100
London, United Kingdom 750 people across 41 markets

The Goat Agency runs influencer campaigns with its IBEX discovery and analytics technology. The service uses AI to support creator selection, pricing and campaign recommendations. Teams in London and New York combine that capability with campaign planning and delivery.

IBM Granite is a direct example of IBEX in use. Goat selected technology and developer voices with suitable audiences, then built a preview-and-reveal content sequence. The programme combined creator posts with paid distribution and reported close to 43M impressions and over 9M engagements.

For Dell's Gift of Time campaign, creators demonstrated how the client's tools could make room for other activities. Goat delivered 30 content pieces and reported a 16% engagement rate. The case also says campaign CPM was 65% below its KPI.

This makes Goat relevant to a marketing manager who needs credible product explanation across several markets and platforms. The IBM work gives you a specific example of AI informing casting. The Dell work provides a separate view of creative delivery and paid-media execution, which can help you shape the responsibilities you want the agency to own.

Influencer

60 /100
London, UK Creator-founded, official Twitch marketing partner

Influencer manages creator campaigns through its Waves operating system. WavesAI supports planning, insight generation and reporting, while agency teams handle delivery, contracts and creator payments. Clients can review creators and content within the platform, giving the campaign a shared place for decisions and approvals.

Monzo's Book of Money campaign used creators' personal experiences to make financial topics approachable. Influencer reported 12.8M views and 98.8K engagements. The work shows how a product brief can become content built around a creator's own way of explaining an unfamiliar subject.

Spotify's VIP programme gave creators early access to products, events and content. Within that broader relationship, the Wrapped initiative generated 37M views. The programme also reported a 90% creator post rate, a delivery measure tied to participation in the wider activity.

Consider Influencer when your team needs an agency to manage both creator relationships and the review process. Its current AI planning and reporting capabilities sit within that managed operation. The client examples are useful for discussing a focused launch as well as a continuing programme that offers creators reasons to stay involved.

Socially Powerful

60 /100
London, UK Global network, local market teams

Socially Powerful is a London agency offering influencer strategy and managed social campaigns. Its Aria technology uses AI prompt search, profile and caption analysis, and image recognition to find creators. That discovery service sits alongside creative development, community management and paid media.

The Body Shop's Middle East programme connected product launches with a consistent social message. Across the continuing campaign, the agency reported 30M impressions and a 15% sales uplift. The work combined creator activity with broader social and paid delivery.

For Xiaomi, Socially Powerful brought filmmaking experts, audience submissions and a livestreamed music event into a campaign aimed at younger consumers. It reported 20M views and 250K clicks across that activity. The concept gave audiences several ways to take part and encounter the brand.

This is a useful shortlist option when your brief involves ongoing social activity as well as creator selection. The current AI discovery tools give you a practical process to review, while the published campaigns show experience coordinating content and distribution. Ask how the agency would connect your creator programme with the community and paid media work already running for the brand.

Influential

57 /100
Las Vegas, NV 501-1000 people, enterprise and CPG

Influential combines an AI platform with teams covering strategy, creator relationships, production and performance media. Its service describes image recognition, language analysis and machine learning applied to campaign history. Those capabilities support creator selection within a managed agency engagement.

For ESSENCE's Festival of Culture, creators helped build interest and encouraged audiences to buy tickets. The case reports nearly 150K site visits and $684K in ticket sales driven by creator content. The result connects the creative programme with a specific commercial action.

Audible's campaign recruited recent NFL draft picks to explain calling an audible and connect that idea with listening. Influential reports 250K organic video views. The campaign used an existing cultural expression to make the product relevant through the people delivering the message.

Influential is worth considering when your brief needs audience research, a creative idea and distribution managed by the same agency. Its current AI service provides a basis for reviewing how the team recommends creators. The cases give you different execution examples to examine, including event ticket demand and product storytelling through talent with a clear connection to the concept.

Linqia

Location not disclosed Independent influencer agency using the Resonate platform

Linqia is an influencer marketing agency that combines a strategic and creative team with its Resonate platform. Its current tools include AI sentiment analysis, Brand Shield research with human oversight and the Marco copilot. Clients can arrange approvals, manage rights and inspect paid and organic reporting.

Instacart used nostalgic shopping stories and creator assets across organic and paid distribution. Linqia reports a 20 percentage point lift in unaided brand awareness and a 5.6 percentage point lift in purchase intent in a Dynata study. Those survey measures connect the campaign with changes in how the audience described the brand.

International Delight used comedy creators and product-led skits across organic posting periods. The case reports 36.4M impressions and 251K engagements. Its creative approach gave the product a consistent role within entertaining content.

Linqia suits a buyer who wants creator campaign delivery supported by a clear review process and audience analysis. The current platform capabilities can be assessed alongside its published creative work.

The Shelf

49 /100
Brooklyn, NY

The Shelf is an influencer agency with a platform that uses machine learning and language analysis. Its recommendation tools draw on content signals to inform creator selection and concepts. The team also reviews historical data, tracks posts and provides clients with approval and reporting tools.

For Ello, parenting creators demonstrated a reading app through content designed to make its use understandable. The campaign produced 99 assets and generated 110.6K landing-page link clicks. Its reported 6.58M impressions combine paid and organic activity, with retargeting part of the distribution plan.

ROAR Organic used wellness and lifestyle creators across a continuing programme with paid amplification. The latest annual period in its case reported 11.3M impressions and a 6.04% Instagram in-feed engagement rate. The work gave the brand a repeated presence within creator routines.

BENlabs

Location not disclosed Influencer marketing and entertainment integration agency

BENlabs manages influencer campaigns and entertainment partnerships with custom AI supporting audience analysis and creator selection. Its published work describes how audience groups inform both casting and the content brief. That makes the agency relevant when finding the right community is central to the campaign.

For NotCo, BENlabs used AI audience mapping to identify food-related groups. Creators then made recipes and blind taste tests, with timing planned around organic and paid activity. The agency reports 2.1M views and a 220% lift in share of voice.

Biotherm provides another direct example of AI-assisted creator selection. The team used audience and competitive analysis to guide beauty and fashion content around a skincare launch. The case reports 4.5M views.

Consider it when you need an agency to connect audience research with a clear creative route and managed execution.

How to choose an agency using AI for influencer marketing

Begin with a campaign decision you need help making. Your team might struggle to find relevant creators, review a large shortlist or understand audience comments. Name that problem in the brief. Ask the agency to explain the AI task in ordinary language and show the work its team performs before and after the tool runs. A clear answer makes its proposal easier to assess.

Review creator recommendations as decisions. Ask why a proposed creator fits your audience and how the agency checked that conclusion. Look at past content, audience relevance and the creator's ability to explain the product. Request examples of a recommendation the team rejected. That discussion shows how people use the findings and how much attention your campaign will receive.

Examine the data behind the recommendation. Ask which information comes from platforms, which comes from the agency's own campaign history and how recent it is. Discuss what your team can review during selection. The useful deliverable is a creator shortlist with reasons you can understand and approve. A large database alone doesn't tell you whether the proposed creators suit your brief.

Agree on responsibilities throughout delivery. Identify who owns casting, contracting and content approvals. Ask how legal and brand feedback reaches the creator, and who resolves a disagreement about a proposed edit. Technology can support the process, but your team needs named responsibilities and a dependable way to review work. Include the approval sequence in the scope before the campaign begins.

Check the meaning of each result. Organic impressions, paid views and survey-based brand lift answer different questions. Purchase intent describes a stated response in research. Attributed sales depend on a tracking method. Ask for the campaign window and the activity included in any case figure you use for comparison. Match the evidence to the outcome your own campaign is designed to achieve.

Separate the agency's AI capability from the campaign's total performance. A case may describe AI-assisted selection without measuring how much that step changed the result. Ask what evidence the agency has for the proposed benefit. For your own programme, agree how success will be measured before content launches, including the reporting needed to decide whether the next campaign should change.

Compare proposals on a common scope. Include creator fees, paid distribution, usage rights and the work the agency will manage. Ask whether access to its reporting or approval tools is included and what your team receives at the end. A useful quote connects cost to responsibilities and deliverables, so you can see what changes when the campaign expands.

Use the final selection meeting to walk through your actual brief. Review a sample creator recommendation, an approval sequence and a campaign report. Confirm how the agency handles a creator withdrawal or a weak early result. Choose the team whose reasoning you can follow and whose delivery process fits the way your brand works.

Frequently asked questions

Connect with us

For this selection, the agency must describe a specific AI use within managed influencer delivery. Examples include creator discovery, audience analysis, authenticity screening, content production and reporting. Its published creator campaigns also need to establish delivery experience. Promoting a client’s AI product alone does not meet that test.

Start with the work your team needs support with, such as finding creators, reviewing past content, planning approvals or analysing response. Ask the agency to show where AI helps and who makes the final decision. The proposal should identify the people responsible for delivery and the outputs your team will receive.

The agencies here offer managed delivery with human responsibility for campaign work. Some also offer generated creative. Specify whether your brief calls for real creator performances, generated commercial assets or a combination, then review the approval process for each. A technology label alone does not define the service you are buying.

Give each agency the same brief and request a breakdown covering agency work, creator fees, paid distribution and usage rights. Check whether reporting access, content adaptation and additional approval rounds are included. Campaign media spend quoted in a case study is only a cost component and should not be treated as the agency’s fee.

A case result describes the programme and measurement reported by the agency. Some sources explicitly identify AI within that work. Establishing how much AI changed the outcome requires a suitable comparison and a clear account of what else changed. We keep current AI service evidence separate from historical campaign performance.

Ask for a relevant case, a sample creator shortlist with selection reasons, the content approval process and a campaign report. Review how the agency checks creator fit and which measures it will use for your brief. Confirm the rights and files you receive, together with the responsibilities of your team and theirs.

Ranking methodology explained

Every agency on a NeoReach ranking is scored out of 100. On this list that is four dimensions worth 25 each: three read off public records, one judged against a written rubric. A low score means the public record behind an agency is thin, which is not the same as saying its campaigns are weak. Plenty of good agencies publish very little.

We reviewed current first-party service pages and live case studies. Each competitor offers managed influencer work with a specific AI capability and has published results for distinct named clients. A client selling AI software does not by itself establish agency AI use. Current services and historical campaign results are separate evidence; results are attributed to AI only where the source makes that connection. Competitors are ordered by the unchanged Influencer Power Index across Creative Quality, Client Impact, Industry Recognition, and Revenue and Growth. NeoReach is the publisher and appears first as Featured. NeoReach is neither ranked nor scored on this list.

Why these 4 for this list

Creative Quality considers the published creative work. Client Impact assesses evidenced delivery and results. Industry Recognition reflects documented external recognition. Revenue and Growth considers established company scale and growth signals. These dimensions help buyers compare the agency behind the AI service, alongside the specific campaign tasks they need it to perform.

Creative Quality /25
Campaign originality, content innovation and creative execution, read off published case studies, the awards a body of work has taken and the campaign formats an agency actually runs
Client Impact /25
Measurable results delivered to clients: return, engagement, reach, revenue. Counted from the named brands an agency has published work for, how many of its cases carry a quantitative result, and how many client categories that work spans
Industry Recognition /25
Validation from outside the agency: awards weighted by tier, platform partnerships, tier-one press and conference presence
Revenue & Growth /25
Business scale and trajectory: team size band, years in market and office footprint

What is not counted

Anything an agency will only say in a pitch. Unpublished results, client logos with no campaign behind them, and awards entered but not won. Where an agency has nothing a dimension can count, it lands on that dimension's floor, and its entry says so.

The rubric is fixed, not set against whichever agency happens to lead. The same record earns the same points for every agency on the page, NeoReach included.
