Influencer marketing that turns trusted voices into REAL SALES.
Our influencer marketing agency finds the creators your buyers already trust, checks their audiences for fake followers, agrees everything in writing and gives every creator their own code or link, so you can see the sales each one sends. On Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn and WhatsApp TVs.
An example report, not a real client. It shows what you see when every creator has their own code.

Use The ToolsWhy paying a big page so often brings no sales
You found a page with 300,000 followers. You paid, sent the product and waited. The post went up at midnight, between a comedy skit and a betting advert. The likes came, then a few fire emojis. Then nothing. No orders, no enquiries, and when you asked what happened, you got another screenshot of the views. That money could have bought stock or paid a salary. Many business owners have paid for this lesson at least once.
A true story from Sweden, one from Lagos, and a test you can run today
Filip Tysander put $15,000 into a watch company and refused to pay for traditional adverts, Bloomberg reported. Instead, Daniel Wellington worked with thousands of bloggers and influencers, and gave watches away to people with loyal followings.
The deals were small. One creator with 318,000 Instagram followers was paid a few hundred dollars for a campaign that ran for weeks. But there were thousands of them, all showing the same watch on real wrists. In 2014, the company sold more than a million watches and took in $70 million.
Closer to home, Funke Akindele did something similar for her film A Tribe Called Judah. Skits, interviews, celebrity endorsements, cinema visits with influencers. It became the first Nollywood film to gross more than ₦1 billion, in three weeks.
Neither success came from influencers alone. A good product, the right timing and plenty of other marketing mattered too. But neither of them bought one big post and hoped. They used many trusted voices, again and again, until the product was everywhere their buyers looked.
We saw the same thing with Arya Marketplace in Lagos. Paying Facebook group admins to share posts brought no sales at all. So we switched to influencers, chosen for who follows them, not how many.
So the problem is rarely the creator alone. It is how the deal was chosen, planned and measured. The page is big, but its followers live in the wrong country, or were bought. Nobody agreed what the creator would say, when, or how sales would be counted. The offer was unclear, or nobody answered the DMs that came in. So when nothing happens, nobody can tell why.
So try this today. Open the last influencer post you paid for. Count the comments that ask a real question, like price, size or delivery. Then ask yourself: how many orders came from it, and how do you know?

Three mistakes that waste influencer budgets
These are the problems we see most often when brands come to us after a campaign that did not work.
Choosing by follower count
A big number feels safe. But bigger pages often get lower engagement, and many big audiences live in the wrong place for your business.
Fix: pick by audience fitNothing in writing
No agreed post dates, no approvals, no usage rights and full payment upfront. Posts go up late, off-message or not at all.
Fix: a clear agreementNo way to count sales
Without a code or link for each creator, every result is a guess, and you re-book the wrong people next time.
Fix: a code per creatorFollowers are a number. Trust is a relationship, and only trust sells.
That is why Greenlearners Technologies runs every influencer marketing campaign as a system: the right creators, checked audiences, clear agreements and sales counted per creator. Sometimes the answer is one well-matched creator. Sometimes it is twenty small ones. Sometimes it is a creator who makes great videos for your own ads. The aim is never the biggest name you can afford. It is the creators your buyers believe. The free vetting check further down shows how we judge a creator.
Influencer marketing pricing: a quote built around your campaign
There is no honest one-size price for influencer marketing. A nano creator in Ibadan and a macro creator in London charge very different fees, and those fees change with the platform, the season and how long you want to use the content. So tell us what you need. We match the right creators, check their real numbers and send you a clear, written quote before you pay anything.
What decides the cost
Who, and how many
The size of each creator’s audience, their niche, their platform and how many creators the campaign needs to reach your buyers.
Fit matters more than sizeWhat they make
Posts, Reels, TikToks, Stories, YouTube videos or Lives, how many of each, and whether you need extra videos for your own page.
Every format is pricedHow long you can use it
Usage rights for your ads and website, exclusivity so a creator does not promote your competitor, and permission to boost their post.
Agreed in writingWhat we handle
Strategy, finding creators, vetting, outreach, contracts, briefs, approvals, ad labels, tracking and the report at the end.
One team, start to finishNo single mystery number. Your written quote shows each cost on its own line: creator fees, content and production, usage rights and exclusivity, products and delivery to creators, any ad spend to boost the winning posts, platform or payment fees, our management fee and VAT where it applies. You see where every naira, dollar or pound goes before you approve anything.
Tell us what you need, and we will quote it

- We read your brief and ask a few questions.
- We shortlist creators and check their real numbers.
- You get a written quote: creators, content, rights and our fee.

What influencer marketing is, and which influencers to use
Influencer marketing is paying or partnering with people who have a trusted audience, so they introduce your brand to the people who listen to them. It is also called social media influencer marketing, influencer advertising or, in Asia, KOL marketing, after “key opinion leaders”. A brand influencer can be a celebrity, a skit maker, a niche expert or one of your own happy customers.

Nano, micro or macro influencer? Smaller often means stronger
Engagement figures are 2024 averages by follower count, from HypeAuditor’s data via Influencer Marketing Hub. They describe one large dataset, not what any single creator will get.
Nano influencer
Close, local and trusted like a friend. About 1.73% engagement on Instagram and 10.3% on TikTok. Small fees, often paid in product.
Best for local trust and testingMicro influencer
A real niche, like skincare, tech or parenting. About 0.68% on Instagram and 8.7% on TikTok. The sweet spot for most micro influencer marketing.
Best for sales in a nicheMid-tier influencer
Wider reach with a known voice. About 0.54% on Instagram and 7.5% on TikTok. Good for launches alongside micro creators.
Best for reach with trustMacro influencer
Big reach, higher fees and more competition for their attention. About 0.61% on Instagram and 7.1% on TikTok.
Best for awarenessCelebrity and mega
Household names. Huge reach, the highest fees and the least control. Worth it for big launches with a big budget behind them.
Best for big momentsContent-only creators
Creators who make videos for your page and ads, not their own. You use their face and voice, with your reach.
Best for ads that look realFour ways to work with creators, and when each one pays
An influencer program is not one thing. Pick the model that fits your goal and budget.
A one-off influencer campaign
Several creators, one offer, set dates. Good for launches, sales and events.
Fast, focused, measurableA brand ambassador programme
Your best creators on longer deals, posting every month. Repetition builds the trust one post cannot.
Trust that compoundsAn affiliate or creator programme
Creators earn a commission on each sale through their link or code. Stores often run these with Shopify Collabs. The Amazon Influencer Program is the creator side of this.
Pay for resultsGifting and product seeding
Free products sent to well-matched creators with no promise of a post. Cheap, honest and a good way to find future ambassadors.
Low cost, real reactionsThree influencer facts that changed recently
From the platforms and regulators themselves, with the sources linked. Platform tests are averages, not promises. More numbers like these are in our 169 digital marketing statistics.
Meta. In a 2025 test with about 2,400 advertisers, campaigns that added partnership ads, which run from a creator’s own handle, delivered on average 19% lower CPA and 13% higher click-through. Meta says results are not guaranteed. Source.
TikTok. In TikTok’s own 2022 test, Spark Ads, which boost a creator’s real post, had a 134% higher completion rate than standard in-feed ads. A good creator video is a ready-made ad. Source.
ASA, CAP and CMA. The fourth edition, published 23 October 2026, says labels like #Ad must be clear and upfront, and warns that “sponsored” or “gifted” are not enough. Its bottom line: if in doubt, label it. Source.
“Bigger influencers always sell more.”
On Instagram, nano creators averaged 1.73% engagement in 2024 against 0.54% for mid-tier creators, in HypeAuditor’s data. Bigger pages buy you reach. Smaller, well-matched creators usually buy you trust, and trust is what turns into orders.Where influencer marketing works best, platform by platform
Each platform needs a different kind of creator and a different kind of content. Pick one to see what works in 2027, what to avoid and how to check it is working.
How to run influencer campaigns on Instagram
Instagram influencer marketing works best with Reels, carousels and Stories from creators whose followers match your buyers. Every paid post should carry Instagram’s “Paid partnership” label, and the best ones can run as partnership ads from the creator’s own handle.
Ask every Instagram creator for audience screenshots from Insights: country, city, age and gender. Real creators send them in minutes.
- FindSearch like a buyerHashtags, tagged posts and who your customers follow

- CreateReels and StoriesIn the creator’s style, with your product in use
- LabelPaid partnership tagPlus “Ad” at the start of the caption
- ScalePartnership adsBoost the winning post from the creator’s handle
Fashion, beauty, food, lifestyle, property and anything people want to see before they buy.
Watch out forPages that grew overnight, comments full of emojis and creators who refuse to share Insights.

ToolsHow to run influencer campaigns on TikTok
TikTok influencer marketing can be the quickest way to reach young buyers, in Nigeria and abroad, when the creator truly fits the product. In Dotts Media House’s 2026 Nigeria report, TikTok’s median engagement was 9.2%, against 2.0% on Instagram. Creators must switch on TikTok’s commercial content setting for promotional posts.
Let creators make it their way. A TikTok that sounds like an advert gets skipped in two seconds.

Watch out forCreators chasing trends that have nothing to do with your product, and views from the wrong country.
Check it workedViews from your country, link clicks and orders per creator code.
ToolsHow to use YouTube creators for lasting results
A YouTube review keeps selling for years, because people search YouTube before they buy. Gymshark’s founder sent his early products to the YouTubers he admired, and a brand valued at $1.45 billion in 2020 grew around them. Long videos build deep trust; Shorts bring new viewers.
A dedicated review costs more than a mention, but it answers every question a buyer has. For high-value products, it is often worth it.
- FindCreators who reviewChannels whose viewers buy in your category
- AgreeMention or full reviewPlacement, length and the questions to answer
- TrackLink in the descriptionPlus a code said out loud in the video

ToolsHow LinkedIn influencers win business clients
B2B influencer marketing works through respected voices: founders, consultants and experts whose followers are your buyers. LinkedIn lets brands boost posts from customers, industry experts and creators with Thought Leader Ads, once the author approves.
On LinkedIn, size matters less than who is listening. An expert with 8,000 followers who are all finance directors beats a celebrity with a million.

ToolsNigeria’s other influencers: WhatsApp TVs and X
In Nigeria, a lot of influence happens away from Instagram. WhatsApp TVs post to thousands of contacts through Status, and X personalities drive conversations about money, tech and news. Both can move local sales fast, and both need more checking than most.
Ask a WhatsApp TV for a screenshot of how many people viewed their last few Status posts. Views matter more than contacts.

ToolsInfluencer marketing platforms, and when you need an agency instead
An influencer platform or marketplace helps you find and manage creators yourself. Prices were checked on each platform’s own site in October 2026. Before you pay for one, check how many creators it really lists in your market.

How to run an influencer marketing campaign that sells, in six steps
An influencer marketing strategy is a short written plan: what you want, who you need to reach, which creators can reach them, what they will say, how you will count the results and what you will do with the winners. This is the plan we write before we contact a single creator.
One goal, one number
Sales, sign-ups, bookings or reach among your buyers. Pick one, so you can tell which creators delivered it.
Results, not likesFind influencers for your brand
Start with who your customers already follow. Then search hashtags, tagged posts, competitors’ partners and creator marketplaces.
Your buyers point the wayVet every creator
Audience location, several recent posts (not one viral post), comment quality, follower growth and past brand work. Use the free vetting check below before you pay anyone.
Real people onlyInfluencer outreach that gets replies
A short, personal message: why them, what you offer, what you want and when. No copy-and-paste blasts to 200 creators.
Personal beats massBrief, agree, approve
A brief with the key message and the rules, an agreement with dates, rights and payment, and an approval before anything goes live.
Nothing left to memoryLaunch, boost and measure
A code or link per creator, the best posts boosted as partnership ads or Spark Ads, and the winners re-booked.
Money follows proofSmall budget? Start with nano creators and your own happy customers.
Send your product to ten well-matched nano creators in your city, ask your best customers to post honest reviews, and give each one a code. In a month, you will know which voices sell for you, before you spend real money on anyone bigger.What changes when your buyers live somewhere else
We do not just swap the currency. Creators, trust and rules change with the market, so each one gets its own creator list.
Skit makers, TikTok and WhatsApp TVs
Comedy skits, TikTok and WhatsApp Status carry huge local reach. Paid posts need ARCON approval, and buyers want delivery and payment answered in the comments.
Local voices, local rulesCreators the community trusts
Nigerians in London, Houston or Toronto follow creators who share their life abroad. They need extra proof before buying back home: real product, real delivery, real people.
Trust across distanceStrict labels, written rights
The ASA and FTC expect clear ad labels at the start of every paid post. Contracts, usage rights and exclusivity are standard, and creators expect them.
Done by the bookInfluencer marketing services: how Greenlearners Technologies runs your creator campaigns
Greenlearners Technologies is an influencer marketing agency for brands, not a talent agency for creators. Our influencer marketing services cover the whole job, from the first shortlist to the last report. We work for you: choosing creators, checking them, agreeing the deal and counting the sales. We work with many creators across Nigeria, the UK and the US, and every campaign starts from what you sell and who buys it, not from who is on a list.

Strategy and creator matching
A written influencer marketing strategy, then a shortlist of creators matched to your buyers by audience, niche, platform and past results.
Fit before fameVetting and influencer analytics
Audience screenshots from the app, engagement across recent posts, comment reviews, follower growth, past brand work and brand safety, so you avoid paying for bought followers.
Real audiences onlyInfluencer management
As your influencer management agency, we handle outreach, negotiation, contracts, briefs, product shipping, approvals, ad labels, ARCON approvals and on-time payments.
One team, start to finishContent and UGC
Reviews, demos, try-ons and tutorials from creators, plus content-only creators who make videos for your own page and ads.
Content that looks realInfluencer ads
The best creator posts boosted as partnership ads on Instagram and Facebook or Spark Ads on TikTok, run by our Meta ads and TikTok advertising teams.
Trust, at scaleTracking and reporting
A code and tagged link per creator, set up with our analytics tracking team, and a report that shows sales per creator and who to re-book.
Know who soldWhat you sell, who buys it and what the campaign must do.
Creators checked and priced, in a written quote.
Contracts signed, products sent, briefs approved.
Posts checked, labelled, published and the winners boosted.
Sales per creator, and who to keep for next time.
It happens, even with good creators. A post goes up late, misses the brief, or a product arrives damaged. So before anyone is paid, the agreement says what happens next. Creators are paid in stages, not all upfront. Every post is checked against the brief, with proof kept. The fix is agreed in writing: a corrected post, a new date or a replacement creator. You are never left chasing a creator on your own.
The influencer numbers you see in every report
These are the numbers we track per creator, so you re-book the people who sell, not the people who look busy.
Reach and likes are in every report, but they never decide who gets re-booked. Codes and links count the sales we can trace. Some buyers see a creator and buy without a code, so we also watch your total sales and searches for your brand during the campaign, and put it all next to the orders and enquiries your team confirms.
We are always looking for honest creators whose audiences trust them.
If you are a nano, micro or bigger creator in Nigeria, the UK, the US or anywhere else, send us your pages, your niche and your audience screenshots. When a brand campaign fits your audience, we will reach out. We work for brands, so we never charge creators to join. Message us on WhatsApp.Plan the campaign. Check the creator. Then pay with confidence.
Three free tools, no sign up. The first suggests a creator mix, platforms and what to measure for your goal. The second checks a creator’s numbers for red flags before you pay. The third checks your campaign against the ten tests we run before any money changes hands. All three run in your browser, and nothing you type is sent to us unless you choose to send it.
Influencer campaign planner
Answer four questions. We suggest the creator mix, platforms, content, the number to watch and a timeline, based on how we plan each influencer marketing campaign for clients.
Influencer vetting check: is this creator real?
Open the creator’s last 10 posts and work out the averages. Type them here. We compare them with typical creators of the same size and flag anything that looks wrong.
- Open the creator’s last 10 posts and work out the average likes, comments and views.
- Followers from countries you do not sell to.
- Engagement far below creators of the same size.
- Views that are a tiny share of followers.
- Comments with no real questions.
- Sudden follower jumps, then flat growth.
No tool can prove that every follower is real. These checks lower the risk; they cannot remove it.
Influencer campaign health check: ten tests before you pay
These are the ten checks we run before any money changes hands. Answer honestly. “Not sure” counts as a gap, because if nobody knows, nobody is checking.
- The campaign has one clear goal and one number to judge it by
- Each creator’s audience lives where your buyers live, and you have seen proof
- Every creator has been checked for bought followers and fake comments
- Posts, dates, approvals and payment are agreed in writing
- Every paid post will be clearly labelled as an ad, at the start
- Each creator has their own code or tagged link
- Creators get a brief with the key message, not a script to read
- You know where and for how long you can reuse their content
- Country rules are covered, like ARCON approval in Nigeria
- Creators have agreed you can boost their posts as ads
Want to learn it yourself? Our digital marketing course covers influencer and social media marketing step by step. Our digital marketing strategies hub shows where creators fit in the bigger picture, and our guide to marketing strategies shows how creator campaigns sit next to ads, email and content.
Real creators, clear ad labels and content you own
Influencer marketing works because people trust the creator. Break that trust with a hidden ad or a fake audience, and you lose more than one campaign. This is how we keep every campaign honest, legal and yours.
What gets brands in trouble
In the US, the FTC says disclosures must be hard to miss, not hidden in a bio or behind “more”, and free products count as payment. In the UK, the new influencer guide says “if in doubt, label it”.
How we keep it right
In Nigeria, ARCON says influencers and content creators must get prior approval before publishing adverts. Instagram uses a “Paid partnership” label and TikTok a commercial content setting. We check the rules for each country a campaign runs in and plan approvals into the timeline.
Paying for a post does not automatically let you use it in your ads. So every agreement we sign for you spells it out: reposting on your own pages, running it as an ad, boosting it from the creator’s handle as a partnership ad or Spark Ad, editing and cutting it down, which countries, for how long, any exclusivity from your competitors, music rights, and what happens if the creator deletes the post.
The creators who worked well, their contact details and their results go into your own creator list, not ours. If we ever stop working together, you keep the content, the rights you paid for and every relationship we built.
The work behind the creators
Influencers do their best work when the rest of the system is strong: content that converts, ads that scale the winners and someone answering every DM. These are real numbers from that system, taken from our clients’ own dashboards. The full stories are in our digital marketing case studies.
Arya Marketplace, B2B wholesale, Lagos. 95.4% of the views came from non-followers. When Facebook group outreach brought no sales, we switched to influencers.
Read the case studyJ Artistry Clinic, Coventry. 85.3% of the views came from people who did not follow the clinic yet, the same people a good creator puts you in front of.

Read the case studyThe honest part: these results come from our wider social media and ads work, not from influencer campaigns alone. Views and reach are attention, not sales. That is why every creator gets their own code or tagged link, and why we put creator numbers next to the orders and enquiries your team confirms. Comparing influencer marketing companies? Our guide to the best digital marketing agencies in Nigeria lists the questions worth asking any agency, including us.
What influencer marketing cannot do, and who should not hire us
A creator can introduce you to thousands of people who trust them. What happens next depends on your product, your price and how you treat those people. You deserve to hear the limits first.

Influencer marketing: your questions, answered
What is influencer marketing?
Influencer marketing is partnering with people who have a trusted audience, so they introduce your brand to the people who listen to them. It is also called social media influencer marketing, social influencer marketing or influencer advertising. Done well, it works like word of mouth at scale: a creator people trust shows your product in real use, and their followers come to you.
What does an influencer marketing agency do?
An influencer marketing agency, or influencer agency, plans the campaign, finds and vets the right creators, handles outreach and negotiation, writes briefs and contracts, checks every post, makes sure ads are labelled, boosts the best posts and reports the sales each creator brought. Greenlearners Technologies works for brands, so our job is to protect your money and your reputation, not to sell you whoever is on a list.
How much does influencer marketing cost?
It depends on the creators, the platforms, how many posts and videos you need, how long you want to reuse the content and how much management you want. A nano creator may work for a free product, while a celebrity can cost more than a whole micro creator campaign. Fees also change often. That is why we do not publish one price: send us your brief, and we send a written quote with creator fees, content, rights and our fee shown separately.
What is the difference between nano, micro and macro influencers?
It is mostly audience size. Influencer Marketing Hub groups creators as nano (1,000 to 10,000 followers), micro (10,000 to 50,000), mid-tier (50,000 to 500,000), macro (500,000 to 1 million) and mega (over 1 million). Smaller creators usually get higher engagement: in HypeAuditor’s 2024 data, nano creators averaged 1.73% on Instagram and 10.3% on TikTok. Bigger creators bring reach, smaller ones usually bring trust.
Is micro influencer marketing better than using celebrities?
For most sales goals, yes. Micro influencer marketing spreads your budget across many trusted voices in a niche, so you can see who sells and re-book them. Celebrities are worth it for big launches and brand moments, when reach matters more than cost per sale. Many of our campaigns use both: micro creators for trust, one bigger name for reach.
How do I find influencers for my brand?
Start with who your customers already follow: ask them, and look at who tags your products. Then search hashtags, look at your competitors’ partners and use creator marketplaces like TikTok One. Influencer lists and influencer search engines help, but always vet each name yourself. As your influencer marketing agency, we build a shortlist for every client and check each creator’s audience before you see their name.
How do I check if an influencer has fake followers?
Ask for audience screenshots from the app itself, dated this week, showing country, age and gender. Then compare likes, comments and views with the follower count across several recent posts, read the last 30 comments for real questions, and look for sudden jumps in followers. Our free vetting check on this page flags the most common red flags in a minute, and influencer analytics tools do this at scale. Be honest about the limits: no tool can prove every follower is real. Good checks lower the risk; they cannot remove it.
What should an influencer campaign brief include?
The goal, the product and why it matters to the creator’s audience, the key message, what must not be said, the offer and code, the call to action, the dates, the ad labels required and how approval works. Leave the creative to the creator. A brief that reads like a script produces content that sounds like an advert, and audiences skip it.
What should an influencer contract include?
The posts and formats, the dates, the approval process, the ad labels, how and when payment is made, what happens if a post is late or missed, usage rights for your own ads and website, how long those rights last, any exclusivity from competitors, and permission to boost the post as a partnership ad or Spark Ad. We put all of this in writing for every creator.
What will my influencer marketing quote include?
Every cost on its own line: creator fees, content and production, usage rights and exclusivity, products and delivery to creators, any ad spend to boost the best posts, platform or payment fees, our management fee and VAT where it applies. You see the creators, what each one will make and what you can do with the content, before you approve anything. Our growth plans show how influencer work fits with ads, content and a website.
What happens if an influencer does not deliver?
Before anyone is paid, the agreement says what happens if a post is late, misses the brief or a product arrives damaged. Creators are paid in stages, not all upfront, every post is checked against the brief and proof is kept. The fix is agreed in writing: a corrected post, a new date or a replacement creator. You are never left chasing a creator on your own.
How do you measure influencer marketing results?
We give every creator their own discount code and tagged link, so orders, sign-ups and bookings can be traced back to them. Then we report sales per creator, cost per sale, reach among your buyers and engagement, and compare them with the sales your team confirms. Not every sale uses a code, so we also watch total sales and branded searches during the campaign. Our analytics tracking setup makes this possible.
What is KOL marketing?
KOL stands for key opinion leader. KOL marketing is the term used in China and much of Asia for influencer marketing, often with more emphasis on experts and respected professionals, like doctors, analysts or industry leaders. A KOL influencer is someone whose opinion carries authority in a field. In B2B, this is often the most valuable kind of influence.
Should I use an influencer marketing platform or an agency?
An influencer marketing platform helps your own team find, contact and pay creators. It suits brands with time and staff to run campaigns. An agency does the work for you: strategy, vetting, contracts, approvals, tracking and reporting. A platform charges its subscription whether or not a campaign works, and your team still does the work. If you want results without building a team, an agency is usually the faster start.
What do GRIN, Upfluence and Modash cost?
On their own sites in October 2026, GRIN listed a free plan, then 200, 500 and 1,500 dollars a month. Modash started at 199 dollars a month with a 14-day free trial. Upfluence pricing was a custom quote after a demo, on yearly plans. Aspire, Klear by Meltwater and indaHash showed demo or quote only. Prices change often, so check each platform before you sign.
What is the Amazon Influencer Program?
The Amazon Influencer Program is for creators, not brands. It lets creators with a qualifying YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest or Facebook account set up an Amazon storefront and earn commission on qualifying purchases. Brands that sell on Shopify can run their own creator and affiliate programme with Shopify Collabs, which is free to install and tracks sales by creator.
Do you run TikTok influencer marketing?
Yes. TikTok can be a quick way to reach young buyers, in Nigeria and abroad, when the creator fits the product. As a TikTok influencer marketing agency, we find TikTok creators whose audiences match your buyers, brief them to make it their way, make sure the commercial content setting is on, track each creator with a code and boost the best videos as Spark Ads. Our TikTok advertising team runs the ads side.
Do you run Instagram influencer campaigns?
Yes. Instagram influencer marketing works well for fashion, beauty, food, lifestyle and property. As an Instagram influencer agency, we vet creators with Insights screenshots, plan Reels, Stories and carousels, use the Paid partnership label and boost the winners as partnership ads through our Meta ads team. In a 2025 Meta test, campaigns that added partnership ads delivered on average 19% lower cost per action.
Does influencer marketing work for B2B?
Yes, when you pick the right voices. B2B influencer marketing uses respected founders, consultants and experts whose followers are your buyers, mostly on LinkedIn, YouTube and podcasts. LinkedIn lets brands sponsor posts by customers, industry experts and creators with Thought Leader Ads. An expert with a few thousand followers in your exact field can beat a celebrity with millions.
Does influencer marketing work for small businesses?
Yes. Influencer marketing for small business usually starts with nano creators and happy customers, paid in product or small fees, each with their own code. Within a month you learn which voices sell for you, then you put more money behind them. You do not need a celebrity to start.
What is influencer gifting?
Influencer gifting, or product seeding, is sending your product to well-matched creators with no promise of a post. Some post because they love it, and those are the creators you want to work with later. Influencer gifting platforms like Octoly do this at scale. Gifted posts may still need an ad label, because a free product can count as payment under US and UK rules.
What are partnership ads and Spark Ads?
They are influencer ads that run from the creator’s own account. On Instagram and Facebook, partnership ads let you boost a creator’s post with your ad budget. On TikTok, Spark Ads do the same. People see the creator, not a brand advert, which is why these often perform better. The creator has to give permission, so we put it in every contract.
Do influencer posts need to be labelled as ads?
Yes. In the US, the FTC says disclosures must be hard to miss, and free products count as payment. In the UK, the ASA, CAP and CMA guide published on 23 October 2026 says labels like #Ad must be clear and upfront, and that words like sponsored or gifted are not enough. Instagram’s Paid partnership label and TikTok’s commercial content setting should also be used. When in doubt, label it. This is not legal advice.
Do influencer adverts need ARCON approval in Nigeria?
ARCON, the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria, has said that influencers and content creators must get prior approval before publishing adverts, and that unapproved adverts can face sanctions. We plan approval into the timeline for campaigns running in Nigeria. Rules change, so we check them for each campaign. This is not legal advice.
Are you an influencer talent agency? Can creators work with you?
We are an influencer marketing agency for brands, not a talent agency that manages creators’ careers. But we work with many creators, and we are always looking for honest ones. If you are a creator, send us your pages, niche and audience screenshots on WhatsApp. When a brand campaign fits your audience, we will reach out. We never charge creators to join.
How long does an influencer campaign take?
Most campaigns take about two weeks to plan, shortlist, agree and brief, then run for two to eight weeks. In Nigeria, allow time for ARCON approval. Ambassador programmes run for months, because repeated posts from the same creator build more trust than one post. We agree the timeline in the quote.
Who owns the content influencers make?
The creator usually owns their content, and you pay for the right to use it. Every agreement we write says where you can reuse it, like your ads, website or page, and for how long. If you want to boost a post or use it in ads for months, that is agreed and priced upfront, never assumed.
Do you work with influencers in Nigeria, the UK and the USA?
Yes. We run influencer marketing for brands in Nigeria and across Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the Netherlands, including Africans in the diaspora selling back home. Each market has its own creators, platforms and ad rules, so each gets its own creator list.
How do I choose the best influencer marketing agency?
Ask five questions. Do you work for me or for the creators on your list? How do you check for fake followers? Will I see each creator’s real audience before I pay? How will you count the sales each creator brings? Who owns the content and the creator relationships afterwards? The best influencer marketing companies answer all five plainly.
How do I get started?
Use the brief builder on this page, or message us on WhatsApp with what you sell, who buys it and what you want the campaign to do. We will suggest the creator mix, check real numbers and send a written quote. Nothing is booked until you approve every creator.
