An Innovati ve Approach to Infl uencer Content Brandables—Ahalogy’s infl uencer marketi ng soluti on—off er an innovati ve way to educate consumers on product benefi ts and brand diff erenti ators. By showing a product or brand in a real-life setti ng—such as the kitchen, entertaining space, or even the backyard of an infl uencer—Brandables help audiences visualize products in their own homes. In a world full of bots and purchased or fake followings, Ahalogy only partners with infl uencers that have less than 1% invalid or non-human traffi c and produce stunning, high-quality creati ve. We’ve found that infl uencers that meet these quality standards oft en out-perform most “celebrity” infl uencers and even traditi onal brand-owned content. Plus, Ahalogy allows full brand control on every project—from infl uencer selecti on to reviewing the content before it goes live.

Data-Driven Ideas Lead to Higher-Performing Content Ahalogy Muse™ is an infl uencer marketi ng soft ware platf orm designed to help leading brands and retailers connect consumer passion to purchase. Muse makes it easy for users to discover emerging trends in their category, plan ahead with data-driven ideas, and track performance in real-ti me once a campaign goes live. Powered by a network of 5,500+ premium content creators across the web, the tool is powered by infl uencer performance data—across their original content and billions of social media posts. The tool includes fi rst-of-a-kind brand safety features, such as:• Infl uencer Proximity Check – for shopper marketi ng campaigns to verify an infl uencer lives

close enough to a retailer that posti ng about that retailer would make sense.• Competi tor Post Audit – to fi lter out infl uencers who have worked with a specifi c brand in a given ti me period.• Infl uencer Match Score – a dynamic metric that measures how closely an infl uencer matches brand needs or requirements.

Ahalogy is a Quoti ent brand and the market leader in trend-driven infl uencer content and social media marketi ng. Located in Cincinnati , OH—the brand marketi ng capital of the world—Ahalogy’s clients include over 100 major brands, with a heavy focus in CPG and Retail.

Ahalogy’s premium network of infl uencers represents experti se across categories, including:

AHALOGY MUSE™

100% paid media for all Ahalogy campaigns Just exactly who are you reaching when you trust an infl uencer to market your product? It’s not exactly breaking news that many social media users have learned to hack the system and infl ate their followings without having to commit to the harder work of creati ng quality content that resonates with real people. As brands invest more marketi ng dollars into infl uencer campaigns, they’re looking closer at what they’re actually buying—which is why Ahalogy launched its Tri-Verifi ed™ approach. Ahalogy guarantees impressions by using 100% paid media to amplify its Brandbales content—we only report on the results that come from paid, rather than earned engagements. Third-party verifi cati on is used to validate all page views on infl uencer blog posts. Our targeted approach ensures every impression reaches the right (and real) buyer vs. the old industry model which relied on an infl uencer’s organic following—which oft en includes bots and viewers that do not match the brand’s target audience.
