What Does an Influencer Management Agency Do?

People Often Ask

What is an influencer management agency?
An influencer management agency specializes in representing and supporting content creators and influencers. We are often the "glue" that connects brands and creators and help to generate marketing campaigns that fuel some of the biggest and smallest brands in the country. Searchlight Social is one of the few influencer management agencies with three divisions. We offer traditional agency collaborations for creators, we have one of the most robust agency influencer coaching programs (which we call coaching-first) and we provide social media consulting to businesses looking to grow through influencer marketing.
-
Are all influencer management agencies the same?
Absolutely not. Most influencer management agencies focus primarily on brand and creator relationships. Few are "creator-centric". Searchlight Social is creator focused. We are experts in managing the business needs of influencers including contract negotiations, pricing strategy, inbox management and business strategy. Our goal is to grow creators into thriving media busineses.

This allows us to bring forward some of the best creators when brands are looking to launch a campaign.
-
Do Influencers need to be exclusive with an Influencer Management Agency is they are represented?
In most cases, yes. Agencies expect creators to work exclusively with them so they can differentiate themselves to brands. Searchlight Social is proudly "non-exclusive" with creators. We believe the creators should be able to receive brand deals from anywhere, not just through us. We are disrupting the industry with a model that puts creators first, and yet still provides them with the support a full-service agency can offer to accelerate their growth.
-
How much does it cost to work with an influencer management agency?
For brands, we can work in both retainer and commissioned based models. We work with your budget to deliver great campaigns. For creators, we typically work on a sliding scale commission based on your size and the number of campaigns we support. Larger influencers will have lower commissions due to their higher nature of their per/deal rates. Expect (15–20% of secured deals). Smaller creators can expect commission rates >20%. Contact us for a customized quote based on your goals. We have a transparent pricing model.
