Background – founded in 2009. Formerly BlogFrog. Our mission from day 1 has always been to be a champion for influencers, bloggers, anybody with authentic voices creating content in social media. Those are people creating content not just on blogs, but have audiences across YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram or Twitter.We are a software company. This means that some of you who have joined us, are part of the TapInfluence Marketplace. So when brands use our software, they use it not only to help manage and scale their influencer marketing efforts, but also search for influencers like you. (Search by topics of coverage, demographics, keywords, reach, audience.)Influencers in turn create media kits where they get to showcase their demographics, topics of coverage, social reach, sample posts, and accolades.
This is a small sampling of some of our clients. You may have even worked with some of these brands. These are the types of enterprise companies that see the value in working with content creators, and they understand and respect your authentic voice and that understand what influence is, and that you are worthy of being compensated.
