Overview
Agency Eight is a marketing firm that uses a performance-driven approach to influencer and community marketing. Its main method, Performance Gifting (also called Performance Seeding), scales product gifting and seeding to build genuine connections with influencers, content creators, and tastemakers. They also run 360-degree influencer campaigns, create ambassador programs, and manage creator affiliate programs. The method combines data, cultural insight, and automated processes for onboarding and reporting to measure results like Earned Media Value (EMV) and affiliate sales. This sets them apart from typical influencer efforts by focusing on scalable, data-backed gifting and accountable ROI rather than one-off collaborations. The firm aims to help brands in the CPG and hospitality spaces achieve traceable growth, stronger brand advocacy, and measurable returns through influencer marketing and community-building.
