Influence.co

Influence.co operates as a high-density professional network specifically engineered for the influencer marketing ecosystem, often described as the 'LinkedIn for Creators.' By 2026, the platform has evolved its technical architecture to function as a centralized social CRM, enabling brands and agencies to bypass traditional gatekeepers through a decentralized directory of over 300,000 creators. The platform's core value proposition lies in its data-rich profile system which aggregates cross-platform metrics (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.) into a single, verified 'influence' score. For technical leads, the platform provides a robust API for synchronizing creator data with internal CRM systems and a Chrome extension that injects influence metrics directly into social media interfaces. The infrastructure is built to support the full lifecycle of an influencer relationship—from discovery and vetting to campaign execution and community building. Unlike transactional marketplaces, Influence.co emphasizes long-term relationship management, offering tools for creators to build professional portfolios and for brands to maintain private, searchable databases of their brand ambassadors.
