*Source: Influencer Advisory tiktok_creators table, London-tagged, 18 of 178 monitored, 2026-05-22.
We also track 47 London YouTube channels (24 above 100K) and 53 London Instagram accounts in the same database.
Rate per post is calculated conservatively as average views times a $0.30 CPM, which sits below our network's $0.57 lower-quartile CPM, with a $150 floor.
Actual negotiated rates vary by deal and usually run higher once usage rights are added.*
If sorting 178 London creators by engagement, brief fit, and recent sponsor activity sounds like a week of work, that is where we come in.
We pull a vetted London shortlist with real engagement rates, recent brand deals, and per-post rate ranges against your brief, and hand it back inside 48 hours.
What each one makes, so you can match by fit, not just follower count:
- Embla Wigum (beauty): creative makeup tutorials, product reviews, and hacks.
- olivia / @olafflee (beauty, lifestyle): skincare-led self-care routines.
- Shilan (fashion, lifestyle): luxury daily life filmed as a law student.
- Isobel Lorna (lifestyle, finance, fashion): travel and money content alongside fashion.
- Amelia Liana (lifestyle, fashion, beauty): fashion and lifestyle with a cultural angle.
- sophie pontin (beauty, fashion, health): skincare routines and tips.
- Chloe Roberts (beauty): glam makeup tutorials.
- KausCooks (food and drink): simple, flavorful recipes and traditional meals.
- Shakeel (beauty, self-improvement): men's grooming and self-care.
- Maddie Borge (travel, lifestyle): global travel content.
- sepps (food and drink): a chef documenting opening his own restaurant.
- Shannon (beauty, lifestyle): skincare and self-care for a younger audience.
- Iza (health, fitness): juice recipes and healthy-lifestyle tips.
- Andreea Badiu (arts and creative): cinematic street photography, tips and technique.
- Luxury Explorer (fashion, lifestyle): designer-brand luxury shopping with high-gloss visuals.
- Shivani (beauty, fashion, lifestyle): luxury beauty, fragrance, and dining.
- Jordan Anais (beauty): non-toxic, eco-conscious skincare.
- shanshomeedit (home and living): practical home and garden tips for families.
Engagement, not follower count, is where the value hides. Luxury Explorer has 276K followers but a 24.2% engagement rate, the highest in this set and roughly 16x the rate of the 2.5M-follower account at the top.
Shannon (11.6%) and Shivani (10.5%) follow.
A good agency surfaces that gap; a list-seller sorts by follower count and bills you for the reach you can see, not the audience that acts, the engagement fit check we run.
What Do London Influencer Creators Actually Cost?
Here is the honest version.
We track 178 London creators, but most carry no confirmed rate, so we do not publish a London-only rate card.
Quoting a precise London median would be inventing a number.
Instead, anchor on our network-wide rate benchmarks from creators who do have a confirmed rate on file.
These are real medians with sample sizes.
| Creator tier | Network median rate | Priced creators (n) |
|---|---|---|
| 1M+ | $7,000 | 111 |
| 500K to 1M | $3,500 | 53 |
| 100K to 500K | $1,750 | 185 |
| 10K to 100K | $1,100 to $1,500 | 159 |
| under 10K | $350 | 21 |

Network-wide, not London-specific.*
Two numbers, two uses.
The per-post rate in the creator table is a conservative floor, calculated straight from each creator's average views, so it answers "what is one post worth on reach alone.
The tier medians here are confirmed full-deal quotes, which usually bundle usage rights, multiple posts, or exclusivity, so they run higher.
Use the per-post rate to sanity-check a quote and the tier median to budget a full campaign.
The 2026 Influencer Marketing Hub benchmark report puts global influencer spend above $24B.
Which Categories and Brands Dominate London?
London creator supply skews toward beauty, lifestyle, and food.
That mix shapes which brands find the easiest fit.
Beauty is the deepest London category in our data, which is why beauty retailers seed creators year-round.
Food and lifestyle follow close behind, and finance shows up through lifestyle creators like Isobel Lorna who cover money alongside fashion.
Filtering our sponsor database to London-headquartered brands surfaces the names actually buying creator deals from this city.
Dehancer leads with 334 tracked sponsorships, followed by Wild at 226, ElevenLabs at 217, SURI at 81, TryHackMe at 78, and Skin + Me at 68.
The pattern is clear, software and personal care dominate London brand spend, with jewelry (Monica Vinader, 52 deals), streaming (MUBI, 52), and supplements (Bioniq, 17, Healf, 26) layered in.
The eMarketer insights hub confirms UK spend leads Western Europe.
On the creator side, our sponsor database shows four named London creators with real, recurring deal history.
- London Eats (341K YT) has run seven HOLY energy-drink sponsorships, most recent March 2026.
- Amelia Liana from @amelia.liana has logged 54 brand deals, with five each for Beautypie and LILYSILK and three for Armani Beauty (most recent November 2025).
- Maddie Borge from @maddieborge has three Airalo deals on file, the latest from March 2026.
- Isobel Lorna from @isobellorna_ has one Monica Vinader-tier deal logged so far.
That kind of repeat-buy pattern is what an agency should be able to point to before quoting you.

London Agencies Worth Knowing
London is one of the most crowded influencer agency markets in the world.
Below are six of the shops we hear about most when buyers compare pitches.
We pulled each blurb straight from the agency's own site so you can read their pitch in their words, then judge whether their roster and fee structure fits your brief.
Goat Agency
Goat opened in a south London cafe in 2014 and has since been acquired by WPP.
In their own words: "We were the first influencer marketing agency to run paid media through influencers' own channels.
We were the first to use influencer content within Amazon's DSP.
We were the first to partner with YouTube on an AI-powered influencer solution."
They describe themselves as "the only truly globally scaled-up influencer marketing agency in the world, with 650 employees all acting as one unified team."
Socially Powerful
Socially Powerful was founded in 2017 and now runs offices across London, Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
In their own words: "Socially Powerful is a global influencer marketing and social media marketing agency engineered to help brands win in the attention economy across platforms like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube."
They name "Amazon, TikTok, L'Oreal and Red Bull, as well as fast-growing startups like ULTA Beauty" among their clients, and report "more than 100 employees today, speaking over 20 languages."
Seen Connects
Seen Connects was founded in 2016 and is "a proudly female-led independent agency."
In their own words: "You could say we're an influencer and social marketing agency, but the reality is, we're a connections agency."
Their case-study reel features eBay Fashion Week, Lizi's Always On Social, Tommee Tippee, and Rightmove, which gives a sense of the kind of brands their roster fits.
Billion Dollar Boy
Billion Dollar Boy pitches itself as a creator-instinct social agency rather than a classic influencer shop.
In their own words: "Social is no longer just a channel, it's where culture forms, demand is created, and modern brands are built.
The brands winning this era have figured out the unlock: move like creators.
Fast, original, culturally fluent, earning attention again and again."
Read their case studies before signing: this is the kind of agency that earns its margin on creative direction, not roster size alone.
Whalar
Whalar runs as part of the broader Whalar Group and stays independent of any holding company.
In their own words: "Whalar is the world's leading, fiercely independent Creator and social agency.
We transform brands into cultural drivers by unlocking the full creative power of Creators."
They cite a third-party benchmark: "Nielsen found that Whalar campaigns had an ROI of $2.41, far surpassing all other media channels measured.
More importantly, Creators are efficient.
While making up less than 1% of total media, they contribute 300% of the impact."
Influencer.com
Influencer.com positions itself across the full funnel: creative, media, and commerce.
In their own words: "We craft ideas that move culture.
Creator campaigns deliver a 91% higher 6-second view-through rate vs. standard ads.
We orchestrate precision amplification across social platforms and beyond.
Creator content drives 70% higher click-through rate than non-creator ads."
Their proprietary platform Waves runs creator shortlisting, contracting, content feedback, payments, and live campaign reporting in one stack, which usually shows up as a software fee on top of the management fee.
A quick note on the rest of the London field.
Disrupt's domain is currently parked, Fanbytes has folded into Brainlabs, and Takumi sits behind a CAPTCHA wall as of this writing.
None of those signal anything definitive about the businesses, but a buyer who needs working diligence today will get further with the six above.
If you want a vetted shortlist of the agencies above that fit your brand and budget, with rate ranges they have actually quoted in the last 90 days, that is what we do.
How Do London Agency Fees Work?
These are typical market ranges for London agencies, not our internal data.
They help you sanity-check a quote.
| Engagement type | Typical London range |
|---|---|
| Monthly retainer (mid-size agency) | £3,500 to £10,000 |
| Campaign management fee | 15 to 25% of creator spend |
| Single small campaign (3 to 8 creators) | £6,000 to £20,000 |
| Enterprise campaign | £60,000 to £200,000 |
| Creator rep commission | 10 to 20% of deal value |
The 15 to 25% management fee on creator spend is the line item first-time buyers miss most often.
Whitelisting and usage rights stay separate, usually 50 to 100% above the base post rate.
The FTC disclosure guidance for social media influencers is the default standard.
Which 5 Questions Should London Agency Buyers Ask First?
Five questions separate agencies that close cleanly from the ones that stall.
- Who is on your creator roster, named, with follower counts and engagement rates?
- What is the average integration rate you closed in the last 90 days?
- How do you price whitelisting and usage rights?
- What is the creator payment timeline: 30, 60, or 90 days?
- What does reporting look like at week four, not week twelve?
Agencies that share rate ranges and a named roster upfront close faster.
The ones that lead with old case studies and dodge rate specifics are the ones to drop, the list we'd put together for you.
