LTK launches agentic AI platform to help brands build creator campaigns through conversation

LTK has introduced an agentic AI experience for its Brand Platform that enables marketers to build and scale creator campaigns through conversational interfaces. Brands can describe their objectives, and the platform helps plan campaigns, identify creators, and optimise programmes whilst proactively surfacing opportunities and trends. The platform addresses growing complexity in creator marketing, with US creator ad spend projected to reach $44 billion this year. LTK research shows brands now invest in 275% more creators than previously, creating operational challenges. The experience is powered by LTK's proprietary commerce intelligence graph, built from over 100 billion commerce signals across 15 years. Marketers can build campaigns through conversation, identify high-performing creators, and receive proactive recommendations on trending products and optimisations. A limited beta launches in September with brand partners, with broader availability planned for Q4 2026.

LTK launches AI shopping chatbot powered by influencer content and OpenAI

Influencer app LTK is rolling out an AI chatbot powered by OpenAI and creator content across its US consumer app. Users can receive shopping advice, discover products and find relevant creators through conversational prompts. The chatbot, trained on LTK's content pool, remembers conversations to personalise recommendations. For example, users searching for running shoes can discover creators who post about running or filter by specific criteria like colour. Creators earn commissions when the chatbot surfaces their product recommendations. The launch follows broader AI shopping adoption across e-commerce, with Amazon, Meta, Google, TikTok and Pinterest developing similar tools. LTK, formerly RewardStyle, built its business on influencer affiliate marketing and is now focused on expanding its brand marketing platform.

LTK cuts staff to refocus on new brand platform after doubling EBITDA in 2025

LTK, a SoftBank-backed creator commerce platform valued at $2 billion, has laid off staff as part of a strategic reorganisation. The cuts affected a low single-digit percentage of its 550-plus employees, including software engineers and creator relations staff. The Dallas-based company said the restructuring was designed to refocus its business around a revamped brand platform launched in late 2025, which offers features like creator discovery and performance tracking at no cost. LTK generates revenue through sales commissions. Founded 15 years ago by Amber Venz Box, LTK says it's profitable and doubled its EBITDA in 2025. The company has raised over $300 million, with most coming from SoftBank's Vision Fund 2 in 2021. Over 1,000 brands have joined its new platform.
