Top 11 Influencer Marketing Agencies in Los Angeles

Ogilvy has been in business since 1948 and is the flagship agency of the WPP network. Its global headquarters is in New York. The Los Angeles office is in Playa Vista, a few minutes from the Culver City lots.

What it sells is the idea, plus the network to put that idea into every market on the same day. For a launch where the idea carries the risk rather than the media plan, that is the shape of partner: senior creative direction, production at scale, and people who have run a campaign at your size before.

Its studio work runs through Amazon MGM Studios in Culver City. Prime Video's Staraoke was staged with 500 drones flown over a crowd of 2,000 invited fans. Its biggest US result is CeraVe, where the Michael CeraVe Super Bowl campaign reports 32B earned impressions, more than 2,000 media articles, a 25% sales increase and #1 share of voice on the night. Dove's #TurnYourBack reports 54m video views and 567K+ engagements.

Best for a launch that has to make news everywhere at once.

Edelman is a communications firm founded in 1952 and run out of New York, where its global headquarters sits. The Los Angeles office is at Columbia Square on Sunset Boulevard, a purpose-built floor on the old CBS lot with rooms for shooting video and recording podcasts.

A creator programme here sits inside a wider communications engagement: strategy, press and social planned together, briefed together and measured together. For an entertainment marketer that means the content and the coverage come off one plan, and the building itself can make the content.

Xbox is the entertainment work on the record. Halo Master Piece, staged at the Saatchi Gallery for the Halo Infinite launch, reports 18M social views, 302K engagements and 97% positive sentiment. Halo Wars 2 reports 575M reach and 4.2M views. At full scale, Progresso Soup Drops for General Mills reports 12.83B earned media impressions, a 47-point gain in brand association and a 27% rise in soup brand choice.

Best for a campaign that has to earn coverage, not just views.

Open Influence was founded in 2013 and is run from Los Angeles. The office on Beverly Boulevard is the only address it publishes anywhere; New York, Chicago, London, Milan and Hong Kong appear on its list as city names.

It is a studio agency and it reports like one. A client agrees the target before the campaign runs and gets delivery measured against that target in the same document afterwards, so you see the size of the beat rather than only the size of the number. That is the document a distribution meeting can actually use.

Disney Pixar's Lightyear premiere landed organic impressions at 709% of goal, an 11.95% organic Instagram in-feed engagement rate and 40M+ followers targeted. FOX's Extracted reality launch ran 100+ creators and 200+ unique assets to 148.5M impressions and 7.5M engagements. Lionsgate's Ballerina reports 14M views and 337K engagements. Universal's Ma held a 4.5% engagement rate against a 1.5% KPI. Subaru at the Los Angeles Auto Show reports 10.8M impressions and 9.2M video views.

Best for a premiere with a date on it.

We Are Social is a social agency founded in 2008 and run globally out of London. Its Los Angeles office is on Wilshire Boulevard, one of three North American offices it publishes with a street address, alongside New York and Toronto.

The work is genuinely inventive: hashtag mechanics, in-game formats, stunts built for a platform rather than adapted to one. That is what a launch which has to be talked about is buying, and it travels further than a media plan does.

Activision, headquartered in Santa Monica, is the local client. For Call of Duty's SOAP Codes, dropping a soap emoji in a stream earned players a weapon skin, and the mechanic returned 5M engagements at 87% positive sentiment. The Call of Duty Grime Map reports 656K organic views and a 93% engagement uplift on Twitter. Netflix's Speak like El Patron tie-in with Babbel reached 33M people, $1B in media coverage value and 100K downloads on launch day.

Best for a campaign that has to enter the conversation in its first week.

VaynerMedia was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in New York. Its Los Angeles operation sits on Schaefer Street in Culver City, and is one of the few VaynerMedia cities with an office page of its own.

The method starts in the comments. The team reads what an audience is already saying about a brand on organic social, builds the creative out of that, then puts paid behind whatever earns attention on its own. For a brand whose category conversation is loud and fast, that is a very different starting point from a brief written in a boardroom.

Jimmy John's turned organic social listening into new limited-time menu items and reports 4.7B earned impressions alongside 6.9M social impressions. Mug Root Beer, revived for a Gen Z audience, reports +1B social impressions and +500K new followers. Opendoor reports 2x the consumers reached and 2x the engagements of the year before.

Best for a brand that wants the feed to write the brief.

Seed Marketing was founded in 2012 and runs from London, on Paul Street. Its Los Angeles base is a NeueHouse membership in the Bradbury Building downtown.

It builds things people physically attend. Campus tours, pop-ups, ticketed nights, competitions with a queue outside: the creator layer sits on top of an event rather than standing in for one. If your brief involves a room, a line outside it and content coming out of both, this is a specialist rather than a generalist.

Prime Video's Perfect Addiction competition drew 7,000 applications, 20.5K social engagements and 4K new Instagram followers. Spotify's Greasy Tunes reports 56.7M impressions, a 14K+ waitlist, four sold-out days and 2.7K tickets claimed. Lululemon's Club600 counted 1M steps taken, 1,600 endorphin rushes and 82.9% of the room saying they would come to another. Its strongest US programme is Adobe Express Back to School, which activated 6 hero campuses, engaged 5,345 students and converted at 47% on average.

Best for a campaign that needs people to show up somewhere.

HireInfluence was founded in 2011 and works out of three US offices: Austin, Los Angeles and New York. The Los Angeles one is on South Sepulveda Boulevard, on the west side, close to the Culver City lots.

It builds a concept per brief rather than booking against a roster, and the portfolio leans hard on character-led video for networks and franchise brands. That habit matters if the thing being marketed already has a world attached to it and the creator content has to live inside that world without breaking it.

The Burbank record is the reason to shortlist it here. Nickelodeon's TMNT relaunch at Walmart reports 389K engagements, 10.5M impressions and a $0.15 cost per engagement. Viacom's Blue's Clues 25th anniversary reports 4.5M reach, 6.1M impressions and 5.4M video views. MTV's #MyMTVStyle reports 217K engagements and 16.1M impressions. Its largest campaign is Grammarly: 214M impressions, 33.1M video views and $15.9M in earned media value.

Best for a franchise with a world the content has to live inside.

Ubiquitous was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in Los Angeles. It is the youngest agency on this page, and the offer is narrow on purpose: short-form video, TikTok first, bought and reported on cost per thousand.

That is a specific thing to buy. You are not buying a strategy deck, you are buying volume at a price, with the CPM printed next to the view count. For a consumer brand still testing whether creators can move a product at all, it is the fastest way to find out.

Bloom Nutrition, headquartered on South Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles, took 5.5M+ views at a $1.47 CPM and the product reached Amazon bestseller. Lyft reports 8.1M views at a $4.31 CPM with Google search volume spiking behind it. Wienerschnitzel, the Southern California hot-dog chain, reports +42M impressions and specials that sold out. On the music side, Sleepy Hallow reached 420M Spotify streams and #53 on the Billboard Hot 100 in three months.

Best for a brand that wants views at a price it can defend.

WE ARE KOMODO was founded in 2017 and runs from London. It publishes three offices, London, Sydney and Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles one is on North Maple Drive in Beverly Hills.

Its speciality is the drop: beauty, fashion and lifestyle launches treated as events rather than as posting schedules. Creators, the press moment and retail timing get planned as one thing, which is the shape a product launch in this city usually needs to take.

The PUMA x Fenty Creeper launch reports 8.1M reach, 3.2M impressions and 4.6K link clicks. Maybelline's Fireworks Mascara launch, run as a live brand activation, reports 114M reach, 6.5M views and 610K engagements. Penhaligon's Alula campaign reports 19.6M impressions at a 1.93% engagement rate. Selfie Leslie's global digital programme reports an 8.9x return on ad spend, 14.1M TikTok views and +63K followers gained.

Best for a product drop that has to feel like an event.

Allison Worldwide was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in New York. Its Los Angeles office is on South La Cienega Boulevard and carries its own direct line.

It is an earned-media shop first. Creators sit inside a communications programme, and the result comes back as coverage, sentiment and what people said afterwards rather than as delivery against a media buy. For a brand whose real problem is reputation, or a repositioning that has to be believed before it can be bought, that is the right unit of measurement.

The MorumBIS stadium rebrand for BIS produced 150+ media articles at 93% positive sentiment. Kimpton's Flipping the Travel Influencer Stereotype reports 2.1B global media impressions and 700K influencer impressions. Tillamook's Butternaise sold out in two minutes and took 2,528 press placements. Corona's Global Plastic Fishing Tournament reports 2.2M media mentions at 90% positive sentiment. Lingokids reports 800M+ impressions, 30M YouTube views and 9M app downloads globally.

Best for a brand whose result is measured in what got said about it.
