I’m the Founder of AKG Media — the first influencer agency built exclusively for AI and tech brands.

We’ve scaled the agency to 7-figures within two years, partnering with some of the biggest brands in the space — including Gamma.app, OpusClip, Adcreative.ai — from idea-stage tools to platforms with 50M+ users.

We work with early-stage founders and growth teams to scale user acquisition through influencer-led campaigns that drive sign-ups, not just views.

In the past 12 months alone, we’ve:

→ Helped brands go from 3M to 50M users
→ Driven $32K+ from single affiliate posts
→ Delivered 336M+ views at sub-$3 CPMs
→ Scaled campaigns across TikTok, YouTube, IG, and Shorts — with guaranteed CPMs

Most AI brands use influencer marketing wrong. They chase views, not conversions.

At AKG, we do things differently:

→ Build influencer rosters based on product use case, not vanity metrics
→ Blend YouTube integrations with short-form that actually performs
→ Leverage data, affiliates, and tracking to prove real ROI

Think: a conversion engine powered by creators who actually use your product.

✅ Guaranteed CPMs
✅ Creator-to-user fit
✅ A system built to scale with your growth

I've worked with over 75 different AI startups... from startups in Stealth mode to Unicorns transforming their industries.

But over time, I've started to notice that a lot of these companies are becoming more and more identical.

Most people think it's because founders have run out of ideas and are chasing trends. And those people would be correct.

But here's the thing...

The companies making waves? The ones that are actually setting the pace in this market?

They're the companies investing in brand. The ones that are actually building a company rather than simply relying on the rapid growth of AI to supplement a new raise.

See Gamma for example.

Not only are they rapidly scaling but they're building in a way different to most of your traditional AI companies...

- All the hilarious BTS on their socials
- Rainn Wilson
- Every single team member is a LinkedIn influencer and they're so good too
- They're sending their CEO and running events all over the world??

This is what it takes to build something unique in a space where their is so much imitation and competition.
