Nowadays, many tools exist to help you run successful Influencer Marketing campaigns. Identifying the most relevant influencers for your brand can be a very time-consuming task when you decide to do everything at once. Fortunately for professionals, tools and solutions have been developed over the years to make the task more fun and above all, to save you precious time. With all these existing platforms, it is not always easy to find your way around and to know which one will (really) best suit your needs. That's why we offer you a comparison of 5 key players in the market through this article. Let's get started!
You may have already felt lost when faced with the large number of influencers present on the various social networks. Kolsquare allows you to identify the KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) most relevant to your brand, in particular thanks to its keyword search tool (but not only, as we will see below). The objective? To allow you to be sure to select THE profile(s) most in line with your brand, your industry and your strategic objectives.
Kolsquare gives you access to its entire catalogue of international content creators, which includes nearly 2 million profiles. Each of these influencers have communities of +5K followers and more and are located in 180 different countries. In the Kolsquare technological solution, you can find a lot of information on KOLs, especially regarding the specificities of their audiences: who are their followers? Where do they come from? What is their average age? What are their interests? All this valuable information will be very useful for targeting profiles whose subscriber communities really correspond to the expectations of your target customers.
A credibility score is also given to the different influencers. The purpose of the latter is to give a score out of 100 to each profile that evaluates the quality of its audience and its engagements. In other words, this “score” is the percentage of followers corresponding to “real people” (i.e. not robots or fake followers). To establish the credibility score, Kolsquare takes into account several factors: profile photos, bio descriptions, number of publications, and the ratio of followers to followers.
Kolsquare also has a free Chrome extension, thanks to which you can find in real time the statistics of the KOL’s profile you are consulting (all this, directly from your navigation on the social network concerned). The extension is now available for all Instagram and TikTok accounts.
You can also create campaigns and group activated KOLs together to compare their performance at a glance. Thanks to its messaging tool integrated into the platform, you also have the possibility to send grouped emails to your different activated profiles, which can be very practical for sharing campaign briefings for example.
Kolsquare also offers the possibility to share the management of campaigns between your different collaborators. This is an ideal option if you have several people working on the same Influence Marketing campaign in your team.

You can export the different dashboards created and even automatically add your company logo to present the results to your collaborators.
