Brands realising the potential of true advocacy

How it works

Step 1

Brands create an opportunity

Brands create an opportunity, detailing what they are offering (product, campaign or experience) and what they are looking for in return (social, press, personal appearance etc).

Step 2

Influencers bid on those opportunities from the brands they love

Pre-vetted people of influence are able to message the brands through the opportunities that appeal, explaining why they are interested and how they would tell the story.

Step 3

Brands accept the influencers who best fit with their activity and the partnership is agreed

Having reviewed all their bids, the brands can select and accept those influencers who's stories they want to be included in. The accepted influencers deliver as agreed.

"I couldn't believe how quickly the influencers began bidding for our project. Using the platform was easy and intuitive, can we do all of our casting here from now on?!"

Executive Producer Missing Link Films

"The Room is something I have loved using! There is a very even benefit for both brands and influencers. You get to chat to the brand on the content you're happy with, they have suggestions too but are all very flexible!"

Skai Lifestyle & Fashion Blogger

"We were up and running really quickly on The Room and seeing the benefit of our membership within half an hour. Their platform has driven us a consistent stream of interesting influencers who are keen to work with us. It has been a huge time efficiency, and has been really valuable to our progress this year."

William F D Roberts. Managing Director Casperlight Holdings, LTD

"I've been a member of The Room since it launched and have always found it to be ahead of the competition. The Room has assisted growth of The Gentleman Racer enormously; with The Iconic Luxury Hotel Group playing host to our first live event. Just love being a part of this club, which really gets the fast paced world of brand and influencer collaborations."
