Agency profiles

CreatorWorks

82/100. Best for B2B AI agents that want creator launches, paid amplification of the best posts and pipeline reporting. creator-works.com

CreatorWorks describes itself as a creator-led growth partner for B2B SaaS and AI companies, with LinkedIn as its core channel (homepage).

  • Published work: GoMarble (AI agent for marketers): 20 creators on Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn, 90 pieces, 2.5M+ views at a $20 blended CPM, and 1,670 sign-ups in the launch fortnight. Productive (launched AI agents in May 2026): $197K pipeline in five months and 58 booked demos and trials (GoMarble, homepage)
  • Services: LinkedIn and multi-platform creator programs, launch distribution, paid amplification as partnership and thought-leader ads, buyer identification for sales, and its own reporting tool (homepage)
  • Pricing and process: First posts in about three weeks; always-on programs start with a 90-day term, then roll. No prices; creator rates negotiated per creator (homepage)

Consider another option if: you sell a consumer agent and need TikTok-scale install volume.

GrowthMatrix

80/100. Best for agents that need a coordinated wave of creator demos and quote posts on launch day, on X and LinkedIn. growthmatrix.agency

GrowthMatrix is a creator agency for AI and tech brands with a 500+ creator network across X, LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok. It is a brand of a Wyoming company (AI page).

  • Published work: Named agent launches: H Company's Runner H (about 868K views on public-beta launch day), Simular's Mac agent (544K views, 40 creators) and Natura tinyNature (1.67M views, 70 creators). It also lists Cartesia, Tavus and others (work, AI agents page)
  • Services: Creator demo clips, quote posts, launch-day waves and LinkedIn founder pushes, with client approval of every post. It suggests tracking bookmarks, quotes and sign-ups, but doesn't describe paid media buying (AI agents page)
  • Pricing and process: A five-step launch process, plan at least three weeks ahead, and an agreed impressions floor on X campaigns, topped up at no extra cost if missed. No prices; same-day quote after a call (AI agents page, AI page)

Consider another option if: you need sign-ups reported per creator. Its case studies report views and bookmarks.

House of Marketers

55/100. Best for consumer AI apps that need creator demos tested and scaled on TikTok and Meta. houseofmarketers.com

House of Marketers is a London influencer and paid social agency with a page for AI apps and consumer AI products (AI page).

  • Published work: AI-product cases with figures: Artisse (18K+ installs at $2.50 CPI, 30+ creators), Stickerbox (6x blended ROAS) and Hint (1,500+ paid subscribers). None is an AI agent (AI page)
  • Services: Product education, creator discovery and briefs, UGC and demo production, creative testing, paid media on TikTok and Meta, and acquisition measurement (AI page)
  • Pricing and process: A three-step test, amplify and measure process. No prices; budget bands from below $10k (AI page)

Consider another option if: your agent sells to businesses or developers.

NeoReach

53/100. Best for funded AI companies that want adoption and developer programs measured on product events. neoreach.com

NeoReach is a full-service influencer agency with a dedicated AI page (AI page).

  • Published work: Offers AI demos, technical reviews and developer programs measured on onboarding, integrations and API use. No AI company is named as a client; its five case studies are two for NVIDIA, plus Intuitive Machines, TikTok and USIMS (AI page)
  • Services: Strategy, discovery and vetting, contracting, creative and approvals, with paid amplification optional (pricing, AI page)
  • Pricing and process: Publishes a $100,000 minimum engagement and three engagement models; the same page says full-service campaigns start from $25,000, which it doesn't reconcile (pricing)

Consider another option if: you are seed stage or want proof from an AI client.

NoGood

52/100. Best for AI apps that want paid social, performance creative, creators and AI search under one retainer. nogood.io

NoGood is a growth agency headquartered in New York with hubs in Miami and Dubai. It builds "growth squads" across paid, organic, creative, creator partnerships and answer engine optimization (homepage).

  • Published work: Inflection AI (consumer AI assistant): app downloads up 300%, cost per account creation down 40% and 1M+ daily active users within three months. The case doesn't say whether creators were used (results)
  • Services: Paid social and search, performance creative including UGC, a creator studio, organic social, CRO and analytics (homepage)
  • Pricing and process: Says its average retainer is above $20,000 a month and that pricing is set in scoping (homepage)

Consider another option if: creators are your main channel. NoGood's AI case reads as paid acquisition.

Clickstrike

47/100. Best for technical AI launches that want a coordinated push from X creators plus a launch video. clickstrike.com

Clickstrike is a NYC-built tech marketing agency that works only with AI, SaaS and deep-tech companies, part of the Nowbound Agency Network (tech page).

  • Services: Technical creator content on YouTube, X, LinkedIn and TikTok, X amplification, launch video production, UGC and PR (tech page)
  • Pricing and process: Influencer campaigns launch in 3–5 weeks and UGC programs in 3–6 weeks; reach guaranteed on larger X campaigns. No prices (tech page)

Consider another option if: you want a named AI-agent case with sign-up results.

Mischka

29/100. Best for B2B AI tools that want GTM and RevOps creators on LinkedIn. mischka.agency

Mischka runs creator campaigns for apps and B2B software and lists Enterprise AI as an industry (case studies).

  • Published work: Warmly (GTM platform, tagged Enterprise AI): a LinkedIn campaign with 50+ creator posts and 150,000+ organic impressions. The page doesn't describe the product as an agent (Warmly)
  • Services: Creator matching and cross-platform campaigns; paid amplification not described (mobile apps page)
  • Pricing and process: No process steps or prices (case studies)

Consider another option if: you need agent-specific proof.

Other agencies to consider

These companies are left off because we found no public creator work for an AI product on their own sites, or because they are software, not because of their quality.

Questions to ask any agency before you sign

Use these with every agency on this page, Kiko included.

  1. Which AI agents have you launched with creators in the last 12 months? Can we see a dated case with creator count and sign-ups, not just views?
  2. Will creators run the agent on a real task of their own, start to finish, on camera?
  3. What happens if the agent fails on camera? Do creators keep editorial control?
  4. Which event do you report: sign-up, first completed task, or paid plan? See our page on activation for AI agents.
  5. Do you run paid amplification of creator posts, or only organic? Who buys the media?
  6. How are claims about accuracy, autonomy or "replaces a person" approved before posting?
  7. How is every paid post disclosed? FTC guidance says a material connection must be obvious and inside the video (FTC).
  8. Are you paid a fee on top of creator fees, a markup on them, or both? Is there an impressions guarantee?
  9. Do you work with a competing agent right now?

Frequently asked questions

Which agencies help AI agent startups get users with creators and paid ads?

CreatorWorks and GrowthMatrix publish the most dated work for named AI agents, and CreatorWorks also runs paid amplification. House of Marketers and NoGood pair creators or creative with paid social for AI apps. Kiko is featured on this list, not scored.

Should an AI agent launch on X, LinkedIn or YouTube?

Pick by buyer. Launch on X when the buyer is a developer or early adopter (GrowthMatrix and Clickstrike work there). Launch on LinkedIn when the buyer is a business team (CreatorWorks, Mischka). Use YouTube when the agent needs a full task shown start to finish; see our page on demo ads for AI agents.

How much does an AI-agent creator agency cost?

Few publish prices. NoGood says its average retainer is above $20,000 a month and NeoReach publishes a $100,000 minimum engagement. GrowthMatrix quotes per campaign and guarantees an impressions floor on X. Kiko starts with a 90-day growth sprint from $10,000 a month and bills creator fees and ad spend at cost, with no markup.

Is this list ranked?

The seven scored agencies are ordered by a published 100-point rubric that measures public evidence, not fit. Kiko is featured at the top and not scored, because it publishes the page. Price is not scored.

Can an agency pay to be listed or to change its score?

No. Inclusion needs public evidence on the agency's own site. Agencies can send corrections with a public source to [email protected]. We reply within one business day and re-score within five business days.
