| CreatorDB | At CreatorDB we believe that influencer marketing is the most important advancement in digital advertising since it’s inception. But we also believe that brands aren’t utilizing the full potential of influencer marketing as it can be extremely difficult to nearly impossible to discover the optimal influencers to work with. Then there are severalincreasingly difficult questions for the brand to answer such as, “How do we know the influencer’s following is real?”, “Is the quote they gave us competitive?”, or “How can we engage with this influencer in a way which is natural for their audience?”East West IMG looks to answer these questions and many more by combining large amounts of data we collect ourselves with an internal creative marketing process to make sure the branding can land with the influencer’s audience. Operating since 2019, we’ve continued to evolve to match the needs of our those we work with.We also provide services to brands that only need a portion of what we offer such as influencer data or helping prepare marketing copy for an influencer campaign.The world deserves to hear about your brand so let us help you spread the message. | $4.7M | Series A | Sep 16, 2025 |  |
