Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • AEA Elevate ownership from January 2026 adds capital for hiring and acquisition rollups.
  • 829 posted fresh 2026 hiring for partnerships, SEO, and account leadership, signaling growth.
  • The April 2025 Strange Brew Strategies buyout expands capabilities and cross-sell opportunities.

What critics are saying

  • Agency revenue depends on client retention; one major account loss hits margins immediately.
  • AI-native competitors like HubSpot and Wpromote commoditize 829's marketing automation services by 2026.
  • If Apollo fails to create sticky software revenue, 829 remains a low-multiple services business.

What makes 829 Studios unique

  • AEA Elevate bought 829 Studios in January 2026, validating its agency platform.
  • Apollo centralizes first-party data, analytics, and optimization across paid, earned, and owned channels.
  • 829 Studios serves 400-plus clients, including Fortune 500 brands, across B2B and B2C.

Influencers Harness Ai To Boost Fame And Fortune

Artificial intelligence (AI) is having a Kim Kardashian moment. Dicer.ai, an AI-driven advertising performance analytics company, and FameFlow.ai, the world’s first celebrity and influencer AI likeness rights licensing platform, announced a partnership on Wednesday (April 10) to boost the influencer marketing landscape. The move is part of a broader trend of influencers increasingly using AI. “AI can streamline what used to be a tedious influencer discovery and relationship-building process by creating instant filters, screening for influencer fraud, engagement metrics and the forecasting of campaign results based on past data,” Sara Saffari, a fitness influencer with over 2 million followers on Instagram, told PYMNTS. “This means campaigns that can be better targeted, evaluated and eventually run at scale.”
