The State of Influencer Equality®
2022 Report
We’ve published The State of Influencer Equality report every year since 2020 to keep ourselves and our customers accountable and aware of trends in the influencer ecosystem. Our aim is to push the greater influencer marketing industry toward equal pay and representation.
This data comes straight from our own marketplace transactions and represents over $60 million in payments to influencers across social media platforms over the past seven years.
