We use influencer ambassadors to lower your churn, acquire more customers at a better value, win you more conversions, and grow your brand's valuation.

We work almost entirely with brands in regulated markets, from cannabis and hormones to telehealth, supplements, and alcohol. Established in 2024, we have served over 55 brands.

Influencer Advisory, we match you with long-term ambassadors that grow your brand

This is for you whether you want to

  • 1.Expand a full-service influencer campaign you already run,
  • 2.or start an influencer campaign from scratch.

Regulated markets

We help regulated brands do four things really well

1

Advertise in regulated markets with influencers, fully compliant.

2

Get found by customers and win more conversions.

3

Grow repeat revenue from the customers you already have.

4

Expand product lines into new countries and overseas.

Our customers are direct-to-consumer and e-commerce brands that sell regulated products, most of them in the United States and Europe. A few of them: BlueChew, XIX Vodka, and Resbiotic.

The cost of getting compliance wrong

One non-compliant post can mean a fine, a banned account, and lost trust. For over two years our whole job has been to make sure every platform, government, and state rule is followed, so you never carry that risk.

84%

of brands in regulated categories fail FTC compliance, and only find out when they are audited

Why influencer marketing is tricky in regulated markets

  • Influencers use language that sounds harmless but can still be illegal. We build and check every advert end to end.
  • Many creators will not promote regulated products for fear of a ban. We find and nurture the ones who will, and spot who already uses your product.
  • Creators go off-script or work from a weak brief, and the fines can land years later.

This works in your favor. The harder a market is to advertise in, the less competition you face, so it is easier to reach an unsaturated audience.

Proof it works

Hims & Hers turned a shame-filled category into $1.4 billion a year with creators

Prescription telehealth for hair loss, ED, and mental health. Revenue hit $1.476 billion in 2024, up 69% year over year, without ever running a normal health ad.

Proof it works

They ran every tier of the creator ladder at once

Nano and micro creators for everyday credibility, mid-tier and macro creators to carry the conversation, and celebrities at the top, Jennifer Lopez for Hers and Alex Rodriguez for Hims. Every partner was picked for mission fit and priced on cost per view, not follower count.

BlueChew, a campaign we ran ourselves: 2.5x back on spend with zero flags

BlueChew sells ED treatments, a category platforms quietly throttle. We vetted every word before the camera turned on, wrote a custom brief per creator, and all five posts stayed live.

Proof it works

Mood advertises a product that is banned from paid ads, entirely through creators

Mood ships legal, hemp-derived THC across the United States, and grew to 900,000+ customers without a single paid ad, because paid ads for THC are blocked on almost every platform.

The Mood product range: gummies, flower, prerolls, vapes and drinks

Proof it works

They turned a handful of vetted creators into long-term ambassadors

Over 50 creators were vetted down to five winners, then ran 23 compliant sponsored videos in one quarter. Every read cleared a claim-language review first. The aim is not one placement but ambassadors who keep selling for years, as predictable as ads and as profitable as organic.

Proof it works

AG1 used influencer ambassadors to grow from a garage gym to $600M in six years

Here is their creator program mapped out, year by year.

And here is a piece of the creator sheet behind it.

The leverage was in the deal structure

The ambassadors signed on for long stretches, so every month I could add another ten and stack them up. And as the ambassadors grew, my brand grew right along with them.

It was built on a three-tier ambassador system too

Proof it works

They paid their influencers within 24 hours of every sale, and some campaigns even ran 100% commission on that first purchase.

How Notion reached a $10 billion valuation without spending on ads

A YouTube video titled How I Use Notion to Run My Business and Create Content
One of the many creators showing how they run their business on Notion.

Proof it works

Back in 2015 they were almost broke, so they turned their followers into their creators

They reached out to the people who already followed them and started using them as influencers. They ran a sharp influencer program, and since Notion is SaaS and digital, they could move at a huge pace.

They also gave creators freedom, which led to a bunch of viral videos, and over 1 billion views on TikTok.

Proof it works

Influencer marketing is paying creators to make posts. So what we have done is build a system that gives you:

  • Compounding growth,
  • risk averse campaigns,
  • an influencer flywheel.

Take it from the bigger names who did the exact same thing years ago.

Ambassador flywheel: select on data, test fit, scale winners, build belief, compound

Regulated reads on camera

Cannabis: Julian Dorey reads for Mood, mid podcast

Press play and the video starts at the exact second the sponsor read begins.

Mood ships legal, hemp-derived THC across the United States. Paid ads for THC are blocked on almost every platform, so creator reads like this one carried the brand to 900,000+ customers.

Regulated reads on camera

Sexual health: Theo Von reads for BlueChew

Press play and the video starts at the exact second the sponsor read begins.

BlueChew is one of the brands we work with. A relaxed read in the creator's own voice on one of the biggest podcasts in the country, with a promo code that tracks every signup.

Regulated reads on camera

Telehealth: Mark McCann reads for Manual

Press play and the video starts at the exact second the sponsor read begins.

Manual sells testosterone testing and TRT online. The read is woven into the creator's own story, so it lands as advice from someone they trust instead of an ad.

Regulated reads on camera

Supplements: the Happy and Healthy Podcast reads for Ritual

Press play and the video starts at the exact second the sponsor read begins.

Ritual is a subscription vitamin brand. Health claims are the risk in this category, so every line of a read like this has to stay inside what the science actually supports.

Regulated reads on camera

Alcohol: Million Dollaz Worth of Game reads for New Amsterdam Vodka

Press play and the video starts at the exact second the sponsor read begins.

Alcohol is age-gated on every platform, so where the read runs matters as much as the words. Shows with a verified adult audience are the compliant way in.

Regulated reads on camera

Gambling: NELK reads for PrizePicks

Press play and the video starts at the exact second the sponsor read begins.

The whole category is blocked from paid ads on most platforms, so brands like PrizePicks and Stake grew almost entirely through creators, with long-term deals putting them in front of huge audiences.

How we execute

First we figure out the objective of your campaign

Grow brand awarenesspair you with celebrity influencers
Lower your cost to acquire customers, or open a new channela micro and macro influencer mix
Get ready for a holiday launcha multi-channel influencer mix
Expand into new regionsinternational influencer targeting

And many others, depending on where you want to grow.

How we execute

Then we map your product, your target avatar, and your offer

We look at which of your products carries which level of intent, so we can capture the top, middle, and bottom of the funnel.

How we execute

The three levels

Top of funnel

highest volume, low conversion, cheap CPM, almost no competitors.

Bigger fitness and lifestyle creators.

Middle of funnel

mid volume, mid conversion, mid CPM, fewer competitors.

Creators who talk about health and hormones.

Bottom of funnel

least volume, highest conversion, most expensive CPM.

Creators who only talk about the exact problem.

How we execute

A mix of all three wins

Going bottom-only puts you head-to-head with your rivals. Move up the funnel, where most people have not heard of you yet, and your videos reach as many of the right people as possible, for the best value.

How we execute

Sourcing

We hand you a sample of 5 to 10 influencers with the proposal. Once you onboard, we run a thorough sourcing process where we mix and match, collaborate, match your value proposition to the metrics, and keep the line open.

We use all four methods to pick the best talent for your campaign:

  • Creators we already work with and trust,
  • talent from other influencer agencies we work with,
  • creators who have performed well for us before,
  • and new creators we source just for you.

How we execute

Running the campaign

  • Sourcing creators who fit your brand and your offer, not just the ones with good metrics and past numbers.
  • Negotiating with every single creator, and setting terms that get us the best results.
  • Writing creator briefs based on what has converted best before.
  • Watching the campaign, swapping out the creators who underperform and doubling down on the ones who work, while locking in exclusivity, usage rights, and whitelisting.

A big part of what we do is refining the creators and setting up the deal structures, so they work like a network in your favor.

We spot weak performers early and swap them out for the ones that work.

How we execute

A one-off influencer, which is what most brands do in the first round

  • Reads a script with no emotion, and the audience can tell it is fake.
  • Has no hook, so people skip past the ad and miss it.
  • Does not care about exclusivity, and may promote your competitors next.

How we execute

A true ambassador, the kind of creator we bring on

  • Speaks in their own voice, because they have used it and seen results.
  • Tells stories with strong hooks that keep people watching the whole ad.
  • Gets chosen on data, not on a gut feeling.

How we execute

Scale it

Once we group the winning model, we scale it. We have done this for over 125 companies.

Every single one of our campaigns has brought back an ROI. On average:

2.4x

Higher lifetime value than cold-ad customers

Our specialization

Repeat sponsorships are the clearest sign a creator performs

When a brand keeps coming back to the same creator over many months, it is because the numbers work. That is exactly the signal we look for.

Our specialization

We check that the followers are real

We check when commenting accounts were made, so it is not bought fake followers, and we read the real audience data behind a channel before we ever recommend a creator.

Our specialization

We are a data company at heart

Being a data company lets us run campaigns on metrics. When a creator has worked for us ten times over ten rounds and performed every time, chances are the eleventh will work too.
