With sites like Forbes, SocialMediaToday and Adweek listing Influencer Marketing as one of the hottest trends to watch in 2017, we thought it was time to give our registered marketers more features and flexibility - empowering your brands to make an impact through influencers in 2017.
Most marketers understand Webfluential to be an influencer marketing agency – but what most marketers don’t know is that all the tools and technology required to find influencers are available to use as self-serve. In addition, we have recently introduced regional agency partnerships - to support marketers with the running of larger scale campaigns. Our accredited partners can be found here.
If you’re already registered as a marketer - I’d like to encourage you to log into your Webfluential account and have a look around. If you aren’t, you can register here to try out the platform for free. You’ll be able to see first hand just how easy it is to find and connect with the right influencers, you’ll also be able to see all the new benefits you have access to once you upgrade your account. If you're not quite ready to upgrade, you'll still have access to our partners to help you run great campaigns.
This is a sneak peek under the hood of the new Webfluential self-serve platform:
Connecting with influencers has never been so simple
Get influencers to pitch creative ideas to you
Build relationships with influencers in your Networks (please note that managed Networks are only available through partners)

Think of how Hootsuite helps you run your social campaigns, and how Adwords helps you run your search ads. In the same way, Webfluential and Webfluential accredited partners can help you run your Influencer Marketing campaigns.

Webfluential currently has Partner agencies in South Africa, UAE, United Kingdom and South America.
Our partners have years of experience working with content, media, and Influencers, across multiple verticals. They also run a premium Webfluential technology stack, which means they have access to deeper influencer analytics, the ability to manage influencer networks on your behalf, paid media integration and most importantly - fully integrated reporting on campaigns.
