We’ll set measurable objectives for each month we work together. If we fail to meet them, you don’t pay us until we catch up.
Technical decision-makers don’t pay attention to traditional PR. And they’re getting harder to reach via the increasingly fragmented social media landscape. Technical leaders listen to trusted friends and peers. And that’s where influencers can help — If you use them effectively.

We help you refine your copy and assets to land effectively with influencers and their audiences.
Our influencer network earns impressions and clicks on your story in the public and private groups where your target audience hangs out.
We pass you all the influencer engagement stats and UTMs so you can track campaign performance.
You write us one check. It’s just that easy.
Working with tech influencers is a ticklish business.
Enterprise influencers tend to have small, high-value audiences. Their impact comes from the quality of their followers, not the quantity. So traditional B2C influencer management platforms don’t know how to price them.
Signing and managing a group of niche technical influencers requires never-ending admin overhead — stealing time, resources and procurement cycles away from work that differentiates your business.
Companies that do work with influencers tend to rely on a small subset of “friendlies” they already know — creating an echo chamber that limits their reach.
The biggest influencer network in techWe're not a talent management agency. That means we always represent you, the brand. We build relationships with the entire universe of technical influencers to match your story with the perfect voices.
