SocialRank, by Trufan is the premiere way for SMBs to source micro-influencers for their influencer marketing campaigns.
SocialRank allows you to not only sort through your audience and followers on social media but you can sort through your competitors’ audience as well. With this data, you can activate your own fans and followers for influencer marketing campaigns or activate fans of your competitor. You can sort through all accounts by different metrics like most followed, most engaged, highest value and more.
SocialRank also has an incredible feature called Cerebro that allows you to filter through over one billion (with a B!) profiles on Instagram and Twitter to help you find influencers you wouldn’t have found otherwise. You might think that 1 billion is a lot of accounts to go through at once but with SocialRank you can filter down to the exact influencers you’re looking for with just a few quick clicks.
With backend data from both Instagram and Twitter, SocialRank allows you to review data and insights on public profiles allowing you to vet your influencers and ensure that you’re partnering with creators with an authentic audience.

Some brands leverage influencer marketing to create compelling content that they can share out on social media. Cohley is an influencer marketing platform that makes this easy. Its platform is designed specifically to connect brands with content creators to create more engaging content for social media.
You can go on to their platform and upload your campaign brief and then Cohley will show your platform to its list of influencers and content creators. These creators then have the opportunity to apply to work on your campaign. This means that when you’re selecting who to work, you’re choosing to work with people who have expressed interest in wanting to be a part of your campaign. This flips the traditional influencer marketing experience on its head, with creators choosing you instead of you choosing creators.

The number one way to get in contact with influencers is through their email or their manager’s email. More often than not influencers have their email listed in either their bio or available on their account. But what do you do when they don’t? You use Hunter.
According to their website Hunter is the world’s most advanced email finding tool on the internet. How it works is you go on and enter in a person’s full name and the website of the company they work for and Hunter will search the internet for that person’s email and give it to you. If for some reason it can’t find it, Hunter will give you its best guess based on the company’s email naming convention (ex:firstinnitiallastname@website.com).
