WHAT WE DO
A Performance Influencer Marketing Agency Built for Gaming.
We are an influencer marketing agency for gaming brands, esports orgs and crypto/fintech platforms. We run creator campaigns end-to-end — sourcing, vetting, briefing, contracting, activation and attribution. Every dollar is UTM-tagged. Every creator has a CPA target. Every campaign closes with revenue, not engagement.
Most agencies operate as influencer outreach middlemen — they introduce you to creators and bill 20%. We operate as a performance channel: a gaming influencer marketing agency running scalable creator campaigns where the goal is funded users, registered accounts or installs. Same engine works for web3 influencer marketing, nft influencer marketing, and crypto launches where every other paid channel is restricted.
Whether you're running game launch influencer marketing, scaling a creator partnership program from 10 to 60+, or activating twitch influencer marketing at tournament window — this page explains how we work, what's included and what it costs. Tight loop with our social media team, paid acquisition, and creative production.
WHY MOST CREATOR PROGRAMS FAIL
Influencer Marketing Doesn't Have to Burn.
Most "influencer marketing services for gaming" programs fail the same way. These are the symptoms:
×
Vanity reach with no attribution — campaigns reported in views, never in funded users, signups or revenue.
×
Wrong creator tier for the goal — paying tier-1 prices for awareness when 30 mid-tier creators would convert better.
×
4-week activation cycles — by the time creators go live, the patch dropped, the trend died, the tournament ended.
×
Generic briefs that creators ignore — sent the same deck to 50 creators, got 50 disclaimer-style posts.
×
Crypto / web3 brands left out — agencies don't know which creators are compliant, which are risky, which actually convert.
×
Zero retention, zero scale — same 5 creators every quarter. No bench. No optimization. No compounding.
A real performance influencer marketing program is a system: creator bench, brief library, attribution stack and weekly optimization. Not a Rolodex of contacts and a 20% markup.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Influencer Marketing for Gaming, Esports, Fintech & Tech.
Different verticals. Different creators. Different platforms. Different compliance rules. We adapt to each.
01 · GAMING
Gaming Influencer Marketing
Twitch streamers, YouTube gaming creators, TikTok gaming campaigns. Game launch influencer marketing with creators native to the title — not generalist gaming personalities.
02 · ESPORTS
Esports Creator Campaigns
Pro players, esports talent, tournament casters. Esports influencer marketing campaigns activated at tournament window with broadcast-aligned creator distribution.
03 · CRYPTO / WEB3
Crypto Influencer Marketing
Telegram, Twitter and YouTube creators in the crypto space. Web3 influencer marketing campaigns for token launches, NFT drops and DeFi platforms — compliance navigated.
04 · FINTECH / TECH
Fintech & Startup Programs
Tech YouTubers, fintech LinkedIn voices, finance TikTok. Influencer marketing service for startups tied to user acquisition and product activation, not awareness.
No middleman markup. No vanity decks. Just creator campaigns built around CPA.
CREATOR TIERS
The Right Creator for the Right Goal.
Tier-1 isn't always the right answer. Mid-tier converts better than macro for most acquisition campaigns. Here's the ladder we map every campaign to.
NANO1K — 10K
Hyper-niche communities. Discord micro-fandoms, regional gaming subs, specific game/build/character niches. Best for seeding & testing message-fit at very low CPA.
MICRO10K — 100K
High trust, real engagement. The bread & butter for scalable influencer campaigns. 30 micro creators outperform 1 macro on CPA in 9 out of 10 gaming/crypto campaigns we run.
MID100K — 500K
Sweet spot for performance. Real reach, attributable conversion, still feels native. Most of our creator partnerships gaming programs operate here at scale.
MACRO500K — 1M
Distribution & brand lift. Used for game launches, tournament hype, headline activations. CPA higher but social proof compounds the rest of the program.
TIER-11M+
Cultural moments. Pro players, headline streamers, category-defining creators. Reserved for launches where the cultural footprint is the goal — not just the conversion.
The wrong tier costs you 10× CPA. The right mix typically combines 70% mid + 20% micro + 10% macro for acquisition campaigns. We model the mix before the budget commits.

What does a gaming influencer marketing agency do?
A specialist gaming influencer marketing agency runs creator campaigns end-to-end — sourcing, vetting, briefing, contracting, activation and attribution. The difference vs. a generalist agency is fluency: gaming creators have their own platforms (Twitch, YouTube Gaming, TikTok), their own talent management norms, their own audience expectations. Generalist agencies pay 2× the CPA learning what a gaming agency knows on day one.
How much does an influencer campaign cost?
Depends on tier mix, market count and creator count. Single Campaign packages range from $10K–$80K+ all-in. Always-On Retainers typically scale with creator volume — 30–80+ creators/month with attribution dashboard and weekly optimization. Tournament Sprints are project-based around specific event windows. We model the budget against your CPA target before scoping.
Do you run influencer campaigns for crypto and web3?
Yes — crypto influencer marketing agency work is one of our strongest fits. Telegram, Twitter, YouTube creators native to web3. NFT launches, token drops, DeFi platforms. We navigate FTC/ASA disclosures, exclusivity, kill clauses and compliance for restricted verticals. Particularly strong fit when other paid channels are off-limits.
How do you measure ROI on influencer campaigns?
Per-creator UTM tracking, server-side attribution, dashboard with CPA / CPI / CPL by creator, and LTV cohorts post-activation. We don't report "engagement". We report funded users, registered accounts, installs and revenue per creator. Creators that don't convert get cut. Creators that do get scaled.
Can you handle Twitch, YouTube and TikTok creators?
Yes — twitch influencer marketing, youtube gaming influencer marketing and tiktok gaming influencer campaigns are all native specialties. Each platform has its own creator tier dynamics, talent management norms and content formats. We run all three plus X/Twitter, Telegram (crypto) and regional platforms (VK, Douyin) where relevant.
How fast can a campaign go live?
48 hours brief to live is our standard for tournament windows and launch sprints. Standard timelines are 1–2 weeks for sourcing, contracting and briefing — but we run outreach, vetting, contracting and briefing in parallel rather than sequentially when speed matters.
Do you work with esports tournaments?
Yes. Esports influencer marketing campaigns are part of our core. Tournament-window activations, broadcast-aligned creator distribution, pro-player integration, esports talent campaigns. BLAST, ESL and EWC work delivered. 800+ creator activations on a single major tournament window.
Do you take a markup on creator fees?
We're transparent on commercials. Engagement is structured as either an agency fee on managed creator spend, or a flat retainer with cost pass-through. No hidden markup, no padding. The dashboard shows what each creator was paid, what each creator delivered, and what the actual CPA was.
