Real lift.
Not promo codes
and posts.

Performance tracking and data-driven evaluation of influencer marketing , so you can tell which partnerships are driving incremental revenue and which are just earning agency commissions.

What we do

Most influencer reporting
is vanity dressed up.

Reach, impressions, engagement rates, none of those tell you whether the partnership moved revenue. We rebuild the measurement framework around incrementality: would those buyers have bought anyway?

We work with brands that are spending six- and seven-figures on creator partnerships and don't have a defensible answer about what's working.

→ Capability 01

Incrementality testing

Holdout-region tests, geo-lift studies, and matched-market experiments, designed to isolate the influencer effect from underlying demand.

→ Capability 02

Creator vetting

Beyond follower counts: audience overlap with your buyer profile, historical conversion patterns, and content fit. Vetting that goes deeper than a media kit.

→ Capability 03

Attribution modeling

Code-based attribution, link-based attribution, and post-survey methodologies, combined into a defensible read on the partnership's actual contribution.

→ Capability 04

Program reporting

Per-creator and program-wide dashboards: CPM, CPA, blended ROI, and the trajectory across activation cycles. Clear enough to act on.

How we work

Four phases. Test. Measure. Decide.

i

Frame

What hypothesis is this partnership testing? Which buyer segment? Which buying motion? Without a hypothesis, there's nothing to measure.

ii

Instrument

Tracking links, codes, post-purchase survey questions, geo-lift design, set up before the activation, not after.

iii

Run & analyze

Activation, real-time monitoring, and a structured read at the end. We separate signal from social noise.

iv

Compound

The creators who actually drove lift get re-engaged with bigger budgets. The ones who didn't get politely passed on. The program improves.

For brands that

Are tired of taking it
on faith.

We tend to work best with brands that have already invested in influencer partnerships, at least a quarter of activations under their belt, and are now asking the harder question: which dollars actually moved the line?

If you're starting from scratch, we can help structure the program. But our highest-leverage work is usually retroactive analysis on existing investments and forward-looking program redesign.

Engage

What's your
influencer program
actually returning?

A 30-minute call. Bring last quarter's activations, your current attribution approach, and the question you can't answer. We'll tell you what's measurable and what isn't, and what we'd test next.
