Top 12 Influencer Marketing Agencies in the USA: New York, Los Angeles and Miami (2026)

The top influencer marketing agencies in the USA include Viral Nation, HireInfluence, Linqia, Influential, Open Influence, Socially Powerful, The Influencer Marketing Factory, The Goat Agency, The Influence Agency, Socialfly and Ykone, plus Ainfluencer, our own service, which is not a US agency. Because many brands search by city, the guide also has sections on influencer marketing agencies in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago, each with local agencies beyond the twelve, and it sets out the FTC rules that apply to every US campaign.

Before writing, we looked at the guides that currently rank for these searches and kept the agencies that show up across most of them. What follows comes from each agency’s own website where we could read it, and from Influencer Marketing Hub and agency rankings where we could not. Several rankings are published by agencies that list themselves, so we use them as leads rather than proof. Results quoted are the agencies’ own, unaudited. Nobody paid for a place here, and we flag the few prices that are public.

It offers a fully managed influencer and affiliate service together with a self-serve marketplace of creators on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Managed packages start at $7,999 for a one-month campaign with 25 creators, and that price is on its own page.

• Pricing: From $7,999 per campaign package

2. Viral Nation: Enterprise Social and Influencer Programmes

Other US Agencies You Will See Recommended

We could not verify enough about these to give them a full entry.

Sway Group, Carusele, Creator.co, The Motherhood and Pulse Advertising appear in Influencer Marketing Hub’s list. Obviously, Moburst and Kaplow also show up in New York searches. Ask each for current client references.

Best Influencer Marketing Agencies in New York

New York is where Goat has one of its two headquarters, The Influencer Marketing Factory and Socially Powerful have offices, and The Influence Agency, Socialfly and Ykone’s American arm work. Choose by what the campaign needs in the city.

New York influencer agencies by what you need on the ground

New York Agency or a National One?

A New York agency helps when the work happens in the room: launches, shoots, fashion and media moments, creators you can meet in person. A national agency helps when customers are spread across states, because a New York roster leans toward New York audiences. Ask any agency where its creators actually live and how it reaches the rest of the country.

TikTok Agencies in New York

Searches for a TikTok agency in New York are common, and none of these is TikTok only. The Influencer Marketing Factory names TikTok first among its platforms, and Ubiquitous is the TikTok-focused name that recurs elsewhere. See our guide to TikTok influencer marketing agencies for more.

Best Influencer Marketing Agencies in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is the home of Open Influence, which is headquartered there, and of agencies built around entertainment, fashion, travel and lifestyle creators. The Influencer Marketing Factory also runs campaigns for the city. Beyond the twelve above, these Los Angeles agencies recur in searches.

Los Angeles influencer agencies by what you are buying

Vampped: Events and Creator Travel

Vampped calls itself the leading Los Angeles-based influencer marketing agency. Its site lists influencer strategic planning, social campaigns and experiential tours and events, and says it develops content and influencer strategies with hotels, tourism boards and travel brands. A review describes a focus on lifestyle, fashion, travel and entertainment and a founding year of 2014, which the agency should confirm.

Vivid Candi: A Large Creator Network

Vivid Candi describes itself as Los Angeles’s largest influencer marketing agency, with an influencer network across the US and more than 400 brands served, and offices in Malibu. These are its own claims, and parts of its site date from 2018, so ask for current clients and results.

Be Social: A Boutique for Lifestyle and Beauty

Be Social appears in search results as a Los Angeles digital communications agency focused on influencer marketing, media placements and experiences, and a review calls it a boutique for lifestyle and beauty. We could not read its own site, so ask for references.

TikTok Marketing Agencies in Los Angeles

Searches for a TikTok marketing agency in Los Angeles are steady. None of the agencies above is TikTok only. The Influencer Marketing Factory lists TikTok first among its platforms. See TikTok influencer marketing agencies for specialists.

Best Influencer Marketing Agencies in Miami

Miami combines a local brand scene in food, nightlife and hospitality with an audience that crosses into Latin America. The Influencer Marketing Factory says it has offices in Miami, and Clark Influence runs a Miami page. These are the Miami agencies that recur in rankings and searches beyond the twelve above.

Miami influencer agencies by what you are buying

ARSNL Media: A Miami Social and Influencer Agency

ARSNL Media calls itself a full-service social media and influencer marketing agency in Miami working nationally with high-profile brands. Its site shows a case for Bubbakoo’s Burritos across more than 130 locations, with the result described as sales lift across the system. A listing adds clients such as E11EVEN Vodka and Smokey Bones. The numbers are the agency’s own.

Clark Influence: Its Miami Page

Clark Influence lists a Miami service on its site, with social media strategy, content strategy and influencer management, and promotes a local approach it calls the Miami Formula. For its wider background, see influencer marketing agencies in France.

Quimby Digital: Wellness and Beauty

Quimby Digital appears in search results as a women-led agency focused on wellness, consumer packaged goods, beauty, femtech and digital health, offering creator and UGC campaigns. We could not read its own site, so ask for client references.

Bilingual Campaigns in Miami

Several Miami agencies mention Spanish-speaking audiences. If your customers are Latin American or bilingual, ask whether creators produce content natively in Spanish rather than translating English posts, and ask for examples in the language you need.

Best Influencer Marketing Agencies in Chicago

Chicago agencies split cleanly by budget, and public pricing guidance from Influencer Marketing Hub is organised the same way. It reports an average of about $2,799 per campaign and three tiers: $500 to $1,000, $1,000 to $5,000 and $5,000 or more. Linqia, one of the twelve above, keeps a Chicago office, and Open Influence also lists one. These local agencies sit beside them.

Chicago influencer agencies by budget tier, as reported

Paramount Advertising: Vetted Talent at Scale

Founded in 2010 with 51 to 200 staff, it reports work for more than 100 brands across 400 influencer campaigns, 5 billion impressions and 900 million engagements, which are its own figures. It says it checks each creator for fraud and brand safety.

Zapwater: Lifestyle Brands With PR

Founded in 2005 with 11 to 50 staff and more than 275 industry awards, it says its specialists cover five lifestyle categories: consumer products, design and real estate, fashion and beauty, hospitality, and travel.

Brenton Way: Micro-Creator Campaigns on a Small Budget

Founded in 2017 with two to ten staff, it says its database spans five years and more than 80,000 influencer relationships. It suits start-ups and small businesses working with $500 to $1,000.

Heron Agency: PR, Events and Influencers

Founded in 2000 with 11 to 50 staff, it combines public relations, social media and influencer relations, including non-paid campaigns and events, and reports more than 16 million social impressions for a non-paid campaign for Rhapsody Spa.

Reilly Connect: Health, Wellness and Beauty

Founded in 1996 with 11 to 50 staff, it runs campaigns end to end and says it knows health and wellness and the regulatory rules around them. A skincare case it reports shows 5.9 million views and a 548 percent return on investment, as stated by the agency.

Socialite Media and The L3 Agency

Socialite Media is a boutique agency founded in 2019 with hubs in downtown Chicago and Las Vegas, which requires creators to reach more than 10,000 people and also works with nano-influencers. The L3 Agency, formerly L3 Eventeurs and founded in 2000, describes itself as an influencer and communications consultancy. Fresh Content Society, in Northfield, Illinois, is named as the local community’s first choice, though we found no profile to describe.

Chicago Agency or a National One?

A Chicago agency helps with events, openings and promotions in the city. A national agency or platform helps when the campaign is online and customers are spread across the country. Several local firms have two to ten people, so ask who will actually work on your account, and match the budget tier to the agency: a small pilot sent to a premium-tier agency is usually refused or overcharged.

US Influencer Marketing Rules for Brands: What the FTC Expects in 2026

In the US, the Federal Trade Commission treats influencer posts as advertising. This summary comes from legal and marketing commentary, not from the FTC’s own pages, so it is general information rather than legal advice. Check the FTC’s current guidance before you finalise contracts.

The main rules for brands working with US creators

• Put the label in the brief. Require a plain disclosure at the start of the post, and say so in the contract.
• Seeding is advertising. If you send product and expect a post, assume disclosure is needed. See our guides to gifting versus seeding and product gifting platforms.
• Check the agency’s process. Ask who reviews disclosures before and after posting and what happens when one is missing.

What Do Influencer Marketing Agencies in the USA Cost?

Public pricing is rare. Ainfluencer lists campaign packages from $7,999, and one New York agency is listed with a minimum engagement of USD 20,000. For everyone else, send an identical one-page brief to three agencies and ask each for a written quote that separates the agency fee, the creator budget and any extras. See how agencies structure their pricing for the common models.

How to Pick an Influencer Marketing Agency in the USA

• Scale of your brand. Enterprise-focused agencies often have minimums that smaller brands cannot meet. Ask for the floor early.
• Disclosure process. Choose an agency that can describe, step by step, how each post is checked.
• Proof tied to money. Ask for results measured in sales or visits, not only views. Read our influencer marketing KPIs for the numbers worth demanding.
• Independence of the ranking. Several lists are written by agencies that include themselves. Ask each agency for references you can call.
• Platform fit. Match the agency’s strongest platform to where your customers spend time.

Questions to Ask Every US Agency

• Who checks the disclosure on each post, and what do you do when one is missing?
• What is your minimum budget, and what do you charge on top of the creator fees?
• Which results from a campaign in our category can you share, and what metric do they report?
• Where do your creators live, and how do you reach audiences outside New York and Los Angeles?
• Who owns the content, and for how long can we use it in paid ads?
