How influencer marketing works
Liquorice is a leading agency in social media influencer talent management, MCs and speakers and campaign activation.
Our influencer network has over 1.5 million followers on social media and counting, and with both Liquorice founders coming from a PR background, we are proud to lead with a strategic focus on the development of careers across all social platforms, as well as in real life to hit the talent’s personal goals.
We marry this up with what we know brands need and care about for a seamless experience for you, our client.
The general process:
You select who you’d like to work with from our talent list
You let us know what deliverables you are wanting (stories, posts, videos, hosting an event, fronting a brand campaign etc) and give us a general brief
We confirm with our talent that they are keen to work together (fit is really important for us) and if the timing works
We confirm costs for their time and/or the content creation and any extras like usage for advertising or in-feed boosting
We then get you to complete and sign a booking form
We brief our talent and work with them to deliver the content or prep for the activity
We deliver you the content for approval (for social jobs)
Content goes live (for social jobs)
We send you stats and data on the content to show how it performed (for social jobs)

We worked with Liquorice to book Lou Heller for a Women In Restructuring and Insolvency (WIRI) internal event. The event was really well attended, and we think that Lou was the reason behind that. She was fantastic and everyone really enjoyed hearing about her journey and her ethos to fashion and style.

The Liquorice team have been nothing but a breeze to work with when it has come to the Influencer Marketing we’ve dabbled in. Our Taylor Sport launches have been extremely successful, and I think a big part of this success is down to the Content Creators we’ve used and the assets we’ve got from them.

Working with Liquorice was one of the best experiences I've had with a talent agency to date. The communication was seamless and efficient, and made organising our PR campaign a whole lot easier.
