Who We Are:

BrandCycle Inc. is an influencer platform that represents more than 6,000 social media influencers, bloggers, and content creators. Our members have a combined total following of more than 300 million on social media. Most of our influencers have been creating content that has been driving sales for years. They are savvy shoppers that cross promote and achieve high ROI. Not only do they represent the everyday person, but they also represent the everyday influencer. We work with more than 600 top brands, including Coach, Kate Spade, Nordstrom, Target, Converse, Crocs and Michael Kors.
