Influencer marketing that
sells, not just posts.
AFFiNCO is an influencer marketing agency that grew out of affiliate marketing, so we judge creators the way affiliates do: by what they sell. We find and vet creators, negotiate fees and usage rights, manage every campaign, and track each sale back to the creator who drove it. Pay creators a flat fee, a commission, or both.

Followers are cheap. Trust is not.
Picking creators by follower count is the fastest way to waste an influencer budget. Followers can be bought and engagement can be faked. Platforms now show content based on interest, not on who follows whom.
That shifts the maths. A creator with 40,000 engaged followers in your niche will often outsell one with 400,000 passive ones, at a fraction of the fee. It's why micro-influencers now carry so many of the campaigns that actually pay back.
Brands also expect more than screenshots of likes. They want tracking links, discount codes and sales data. And creator-made videos are now some of the strongest ad creative on TikTok and Meta, so every post should be able to work twice.
Our influencer marketing services are built for that. We check who really follows a creator, test with a small group, then scale the creators whose codes and links convert.
Real audiences
Audience location, age and interests checked, plus fake follower and engagement-pod screening. Here's how we vet TikTok creators.
Content that sells
Briefs that leave room for the creator's own voice, with usage rights agreed so the best posts can run as ads.
Every sale tracked
Unique codes, tracking links and commission deals, including TikTok Shop affiliate creators.
Our influencer marketing services
As a full-service influencer marketing agency, we run everything from the first shortlist to the final sales report. Take the whole programme, or just the parts your team can't cover.
Influencer marketing strategy
Goals, audience, platform mix, creator tiers, budget model and KPIs, set before a single creator is contacted.
Creator discovery and vetting
Creators scored on audience fit, engagement quality and brand safety. We look at who follows them, not just how many.
Outreach, negotiation and contracts
Rates, deliverables, deadlines, usage rights, exclusivity and disclosure, all agreed in writing before anything is filmed.
Influencer campaign management
Creative briefs, product shipping, content review, posting schedules and chasing, so your team doesn't spend weeks in DMs.
Product seeding and gifting
Products sent to nano and micro creators who fit your niche, with no fee and no obligation to post. The ones who love it become paid partners.
UGC creator content
User-generated content made for your ads and product pages, filmed by creators who know what makes people stop scrolling.
Paid amplification and whitelisting
Top creator posts boosted as TikTok Spark Ads and Meta partnership ads, run by the same team as our social media marketing services.
Affiliate and commission creators
Our roots. Creators paid on commission or a lower fee plus commission, tracked through your affiliate platform or TikTok Shop.
Reporting and ROI
Reach and engagement rate per creator, tied to clicks, code redemptions, sales and cost per acquisition.
Creator campaigns for brands that need results
Our influencer marketing services work best where creators are expected to drive sales, sign-ups or tickets, and where the audience is hard to reach with ads alone.
eCommerce, DTC and Amazon sellers
TikTok Shop affiliate creators, UGC for ads and Amazon influencer campaigns. Pairs with our Amazon seller services.
SaaS, AI and B2B tech
B2B influencer marketing through YouTube reviewers, LinkedIn voices, newsletter writers and podcast hosts who already have your buyers' attention.
Crypto, fintech and Web3
Crypto influencer marketing on X, YouTube and Telegram, with disclosure and financial promotion rules checked for each market.
Events and conferences
Creator coverage, ticket promo codes and launch campaigns. We do this ourselves as a media partner for global events.
From brief to tracked sales in four weeks
You approve every creator and every post. Most campaigns are live within four weeks of the first call.
Audit and brief
Goals, audience, product, budget model and KPIs, plus what creators should and shouldn't say about you.
Shortlist and vet
Creators scored on audience fit, engagement quality, fake followers and brand safety. You approve every name.
Outreach and contracts
Rates, deliverables, usage rights, exclusivity, disclosure and payment terms agreed in writing.
Content goes live
Creators film, we review each post against the brief, and content goes live with codes and tracking links.
Amplify, track, scale
Winning posts become ads, creators who convert get more budget, and the ones who don't are replaced.
We sit on both sides of the creator deal
Most influencer agencies have only ever bought creator content. We also make it. AFFiNCO publishes across more than 65 websites, newsletters, YouTube channels and social accounts, and SaaS brands like Helium 10 have paid us as an affiliate partner for years.
So we know what makes a creator say yes, what a fair commission looks like, and which briefs produce content that converts. As official media partner for AWSummit, AI Expo Europe and the Blockchain Life Forum, we also put brands in front of audiences of marketers, founders and investors.

Run by an affiliate marketer, not a talent agent
AFFiNCO is led by Aliakbar Fakhri, who has spent more than a decade in affiliate marketing, media buying and content. He has been on the creator side of brand deals for years, as a publisher and affiliate partner, and now runs creator programmes for brands from the other side of the table.
That's why every campaign we run is built around tracking and commission options, not just reach. Ali stays hands-on with every client engagement.
