Agency profiles

House of Marketers

House of Marketers is a London influencer and paid social agency with a fitness industry page (fitness page).

  • Services: Creator ad assets, paid social on TikTok and Meta, athlete micro-creators and TikTok account management, reported on paying members first. The page describes no claims-review step (fitness page)
  • Pricing and process: A four-step process (pick the sign-up event, brief, test, report). No prices; the form asks for a monthly budget band (fitness page)

inBeat

48/100. Best for wellness, mental-health and telehealth apps that need a written claims workflow and paid placement of approved posts. inbeat.agency

inBeat runs creator, UGC and paid media services. Its healthcare page covers clinician creators, patient advocates and wellness and fitness creators (health page).

  • Published work: Case cards tagged wellness and sport include Greenpark Sports (70% lower cost per install), Grow Therapy (six new winning creative formats) and Mindbloom (no figure). The healthcare page shows logos only (case studies, health page)
  • Services: Creator vetting (credentials checked for clinicians), briefs listing approved claims, claims to avoid and the source for each claim, review before publishing with the client's legal team having the final say, paid placement and per-creator reporting (health page)
  • Pricing and process: A three-step process; no prices on the healthcare page (health page)

Consider another option if: you want detailed, dated fitness-app results. Several case cards show "coming soon".

BENlabs

38/100. Best for weight and wellness programs that want many YouTube creators and testimonial-style content. benlabs.com

BENlabs calls itself an AI influencer marketing, brand entertainment and product placement agency, with music partnerships and data-led creator matching (homepage).

  • Published work: Noom: 90 creators on YouTube and Instagram Stories, 5.5M+ views, a peak the body puts at 3,000 sign-ups a month (the snapshot says "90%"), and a shift from direct sign-up asks to educational and testimonial content. The headline's "LTV 90%" is the resulting level; the body reports 28.6% growth (Noom)
  • Services: Creator matching from a large database, campaign management and measurement. Paid amplification and claims review aren't described (homepage, Noom)
  • Pricing and process: No process steps or prices (homepage)

37/100. Best for fitness apps that want to book lifestyle fitness creators quickly, on one contract and one invoice. ovotalent.com

OVO Talent is a creator management firm ("Miami · Global") that represents 490+ creators and books them for brands (homepage). It also publishes a list of fitness-app agencies that puts itself first and discloses that it does so (OVO list).

  • Published work: Its homepage lists Runna, Orgain, GNC and Nike among brands that booked its creators, with no case results. Its own list names BetterMe, Cal AI and Eato as clients; its homepage doesn't (homepage, OVO list)
  • Services: Strategy, casting and outreach, deal terms, briefs, approvals, delivery and reporting. Paid amplification and claims review aren't described (homepage)
  • Pricing and process: Says brands get creator names and prices the same day as a brief; no rates published (homepage)

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 pointWhat it means for a creator briefSource
Health claims need "competent and reliable scientific evidence"List every allowed claim with its evidence. Creators can't add new benefit claims on cameraFTC guidance
Randomized controlled human trials are the most reliable support for health benefit claimsWeight-loss, sleep or mental-health outcome claims need the strongest proofFTC guidance
An endorser can't make a claim the advertiser couldn't substantiateA creator's honest story doesn't prove the app worksFTC guidance
Testimonials showing better-than-typical results are likely deceptive; "results not typical" doesn't fix thisBefore-and-after posts need typical results or a different angleFTC guidance
Paid endorsers must clearly disclose the connectionDisclosure 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.

Which health and fitness creators should you shortlist first?

Start with creators whose audience matches your buyer and whose format can demonstrate the product.

CreatorPlatformAudienceWhy they fit
Abbey Sharp (@abbeyskitchen)YouTube715K 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)YouTube273K 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)YouTube8.76M 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.

Questions to ask any agency before you sign

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

  1. Which health or fitness apps have you run creator programs for in the last 12 months? Can we see a dated case with the creator count and a subscription result?
  2. Who writes the list of allowed claims, and who signs off each draft: you, us, or our compliance reviewer?
  3. How do you check a creator's past posts for medical or weight-loss claims before booking?
  4. How do you handle before-and-after or transformation content?
  5. Do creators who are clinicians get their credentials checked?
  6. Which event do you report: install, trial start, first workout, or paid subscription?
  7. Who owns usage rights for paid amplification, and does paid use go through claims review again?
  8. Are you paid a fee on top of creator fees, a markup on them, or both?
  9. Do you work with a competing app right now?

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.
