Kiko

What does "claims review" mean for a health or fitness app?
Most agencies here say they review content; few say against what. The FTC's Health Products Compliance Guidance (published 2022-12-20) sets the bar that applies to the advertiser and carries through to creators. These are questions for your compliance team.
| FTC point | What it means for a creator brief | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Health claims need "competent and reliable scientific evidence" | List every allowed claim with its evidence. Creators can't add new benefit claims on camera | FTC guidance |
| Randomized controlled human trials are the most reliable support for health benefit claims | Weight-loss, sleep or mental-health outcome claims need the strongest proof | FTC guidance |
| An endorser can't make a claim the advertiser couldn't substantiate | A creator's honest story doesn't prove the app works | FTC guidance |
| Testimonials showing better-than-typical results are likely deceptive; "results not typical" doesn't fix this | Before-and-after posts need typical results or a different angle | FTC guidance |
| Paid endorsers must clearly disclose the connection | Disclosure inside the video, in plain words like "ad" | FTC Disclosures 101 |
For a working process, see our guide to claims compliance for health and fitness creator campaigns.
Other agencies to consider
They are left off because we found no public creator work for a health or fitness app on their own sites, or because they are not managed agencies, not because of their quality.
| Company | Why it isn't on this list | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Liftoff Influence | A self-serve pay-per-install creator network, not a managed agency. Its Luni Fitness Coach case reports 1M+ installs from 2,000+ creators and #1 in Health & Fitness | Luni case |
| LMG Media | A fitness creator page with a compliance plan and 1,200+ creators, but no named fitness client | fitness page |
| HireInfluence | Wellness services page with a ~$100,000 engagement minimum; no health or fitness app client named | wellness article |
| Open Influence | A Los Angeles agency that lists Health and Pharma as a vertical; no fitness or wellness app work shown | homepage |
| New Engen | Publishes a fitness-agency list that ranks itself first, but names no fitness client of its own | list |
| Majestic | Lists healthtech among its industries but names no health or fitness client or case | page |
| NeoReach | Its health and wellness page didn't load, so there is no health-app evidence to score | n/a |
| The Influencer Marketing Factory | Its homepage names no clients and shows no fitness-app case | homepage |
Which health and fitness creators should you shortlist first?
Start with creators whose audience matches your buyer and whose format can demonstrate the product.
| Creator | Platform | Audience | Why they fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abbey Sharp (@abbeyskitchen) | YouTube | 715K subscribers (SponsorRadar) | A registered dietitian whose audience wants non-diet nutrition and honest takes on hunger and weight. She fits food-logging and nutrition apps that avoid weight-loss promises. |
| Natalie Crawford, MD (@nataliecrawfordmd) | YouTube | 273K subscribers (SponsorRadar) | A fertility doctor whose audience is women thinking about fertility, hormones and midlife health. She fits cycle-tracking and women's health apps that can pass a clinician's read. |
| Jeff Nippard (@JeffNippard) | YouTube | 8.76M subscribers (SponsorRadar) | Lifters who want evidence-based training watch his rankings and explainers. He fits strength and recovery products; he promotes his own programs and the MacroFactor apps, so skip him for competing nutrition or workout apps. |
Full list: wellness and fitness creators.

Frequently asked questions
Which influencer marketing agencies specialize in health and fitness apps?
We found six with public health or fitness app creator work: House of Marketers, The Viral App, inBeat, BENlabs, OVO Talent and Mischka. House of Marketers and The Viral App show the strongest app results; inBeat describes the most detailed claims workflow.
Does a creator agency handle health claims review for us?
Some describe a review step, and inBeat says the client's legal team has the final say. The agency runs the workflow; your counsel approves health claims. That is how Kiko works too.
Is a pay-per-install creator network an alternative to an agency?
Yes, for some apps. Liftoff Influence pays creators per install and lets creators pick campaigns, so you give up control over who posts. An agency costs more to run but lets you vet creators and claims first.
Is this list ranked?
The six scored agencies are ordered by a published 100-point rubric that measures public evidence, not fit or claims-review quality. Kiko is featured at the top and not scored. 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.
