Influencer & Creator Partnerships

Bewheretheyalreadyare.

Influence is one of the most effective channels there is, when it is managed, not improvised. The Orbit runs it as a channel: a curated network of real creators handled end to end, and the option of a bespoke persona your brand owns outright.

Why it works

Amanagedchannel.

Notone-offactivations.

The one-off trap

Most brands treat influence as a series of one-off activations: find a creator, negotiate a rate, run a post, then start from scratch next time. There is no consistency, no managed relationship, and nothing connecting the activity to a commercial outcome.

The managed channel

The Orbit gives you influence as a managed channel. One team curates the right creators, handles every part of the relationship, and connects the activity to an outcome. And when you want a voice you control, it builds a bespoke persona your brand owns outright.

What we actually do

Borrow trusted voices, or build one you own. Switch between the models to see how each reaches your audience, and what we handle for you.

Borrowed trust and owned reach, running together.

Real creators reach the audiences who already trust them. Your owned persona holds presence and builds a following your brand controls. Run together, they cover the full channel: borrowed attention and owned relationships.

Real creator partnerships run on a monthly retainer. The owned persona is a one-time setup fee plus a monthly retainer.

What makes it a channel

Thedisciplinethatmakesinfluenceactuallywork.

01

One team manages it

Sourcing, outreach, negotiation, briefs, approvals, and reporting are all handled for you, so influence runs like a channel, not a scramble.

02

Fit over fame

Creators are chosen for audience fit and brand alignment, not follower counts. Reach without fit is a vanity number.

03

Connected to outcomes

Every activation is briefed against a purpose and measured, so the channel ties to a commercial result, not just impressions.

Where it sits in the orbit

Itextendstheorbitbeyondyourownaudience.

Influence answers Where, at the edge of the orbit. It takes the customer from Customer Intelligence and the brand from Creative Supply Chain, and carries them into attention you do not own, through voices your audience already trusts. The audiences it reaches feed campaigns and lifecycle, so new attention becomes owned relationships. It is the one service that reaches outside the orbit, and brings the outside in.
