Influencer Marketing Agency of the Year
Trend is an innovative agency at the forefront of talent representation and brand partnership strategy. With a mission to elevate creators through powerful collaborations, Trend maintains a deliberately low talent-to-manager ratio, ensuring personalized guidance and fostering long-lasting relationships between creators and brands. Over the past year, Trend expanded its roster with 44 new creators, further solidifying its reputation as a leading agency for creators seeking strategic brand partnerships. In addition to representing top-tier influencers, Trend launched Elevate, a new agency dedicated to affiliate marketing and content creation, designed to amplify the impact of brand collaborations. Among Trend’s standout success stories this year, Mason Smith (@dadsocial) has made waves with viral campaigns for major brands like Walmart, Target, and LEGO. His collaborations have garnered millions of views and significant media attention, leaving a lasting impact not only on his audience but also within his community. Similarly, Stephanie Joplin (@betterwithchardonnay) has experienced remarkable growth, securing partnerships with top-tier brands like Walmart and Ulta Beauty, further cementing her place in the influencer landscape. At its core, Trend is committed to delivering results-driven partnerships that not only drive business success but also prioritize making a positive and lasting impact both in the industry and beyond.
