Why brands work with us

Most agencies deliver campaigns. We build the system behind them.

01

Programmes, not one-off drops

Creator partnerships are treated as a channel with a strategy, not a series of disconnected posts. Every partnership feeds the next decision.

02

Data decides what scales

We track performance at the creator, content and offer level, so budget moves toward what's converting and away from what isn't – quickly.

03

Built for how technology companies sell

We work with product-led and sales-led SaaS, AI and Education brands, and design programmes around trials, signups and demos.

What we do

One growth system, six connected services.

01

Seasonal Campaigns

Short-term, high-impact creator activity built around launches, key dates and moments that matter to your audience.

02

Creator Management

Ongoing management of your creator roster and relationships, so partnerships stay consistent instead of ad hoc.

03

Influencer Partnerships

Strategic partnerships sourced and negotiated around your specific growth objectives, not follower count alone.

04

UGC

Authentic, creator-made content built for paid social, landing pages and organic — content that performs as an asset, not a favour.

05

Affiliate Marketing

Creator-led affiliate programmes that connect activity directly to signups, trials and revenue — with clear attribution.

06

Closeview Creator Growth Engine™

We use performance data to identify your best creators, content and narratives, then deploy structured pods to convert via repeated exposure.

Relevant work

Programmes built for technology brands.

Large AI Notetaker brand AI · Meeting intelligence Creator partnerships
Approach

Sourced and managed a curated set of productivity and workflow creators to introduce product to teams and solopreneurs already talking about meeting tools and async work.

Screen Time App Consumer tech · Digital wellbeing YouTube partnerships
Approach

Identified and secured a high-fit YouTube creator whose audience closely matched the brand's core users and built a dedicated ad integration around the core use case rather than a generic mention.

Focus: Precision over volume, one creator, one integration placed in front of a primed audience.
Ecommerce SaaS AI · SMB tooling Closeview CGE
Approach

Deployed a pod of creators tested across YouTube, TikTok and Instagram with different angles on the same narrative, tracked individually, with budget shifted toward whichever creator type and format converted best before scaling.

Focus: Performance and optimisation over time for long-term gain.

How we think

Every programme runs on the same framework.

We call it CGE internally — the discipline behind every partnership we run, not a package you buy.

Test

Start narrow

Small, deliberate creator tests across formats and platforms, before committing real budget.

Measure

Track what matters

Performance tracked at the creator and content level — views, engagement, and downstream conversion.

Learn

Find the pattern

We identify which creators, formats and angles are actually driving signups, not just impressions.

Optimise

Adjust in-flight

Briefs, budgets and creator mix shift toward what the data says is working, while the programme is live.

Scale

Put weight behind it

Proven partnerships and formats get more budget and become the backbone of an always-on programme.

This is the same discipline whether we're running a two-week seasonal campaign or a twelve-month affiliate programme — the size of the test changes, the process doesn't.

How we work together

From first call to a scaled programme.

01

Strategy

We map your funnel, audience and offer to decide where creator and affiliate activity actually fits.

02

Creator & affiliate identification

We source and vet creators against your audience and goals, not vanity metrics.

03

Campaign development

Briefs, content angles and offers are built collaboratively with each creator, so content stays authentic.

04

Launch

Content goes live across the agreed platforms, with tracking in place from day one.

05

Measurement

We report on what's actually moving — views, engagement, clicks, signups — not just reach.

06

Optimisation

Underperforming creators and formats are adjusted or replaced; winners get sharper briefs.

07

Scaling

What's proven gets more budget, more creators, and becomes part of an always-on programme.
