Three years after going all-in on technology, our platform has won at the Grand Prix de l’INfluence. An award for the product, and for a team that never stopped building.
On November 4, at the 4th Grand Prix de l’INfluence organised by INfluencia during Paris Creator Week, Influence4You won the award for “Best Influencer Marketing Platform of the Year 2026”.
For the whole team, this is a huge source of pride. And for our clients, agencies and brands alike, it confirms they have chosen one of the most complete tools on the market.
An award for the product
INfluencia’s jury judged the platforms on one simple criterion: the value they bring to the people who use them every day. Influence4You stood out as the most complete platform, bringing all your influencer marketing together in one place while staying remarkably intuitive.
In practice, it’s a single tool to:
- Cast creators with AI: automatic retrieval of stories, real audience data and brand safety indicators.
- Run gifting campaigns with more than 250,000 creators.
- Activate local influence, designed for restaurants and neighbourhood businesses.
- Produce UGC made with professional actors.
For our artificial intelligence features, we chose Mistral AI.
Above all, the platform was designed by teams who ran hundreds of campaigns on the agency side. Every screen answers a real question an influencer marketing project manager faces. That field expertise is what the jury rewarded.
2023: going 100% SaaS
This award means even more to us because it caps a comeback story.
In 2023, the influencer marketing market was in turmoil and the hybrid model, part agency, part technology, was running out of steam. Influence4You entered a safeguard procedure. We then made a radical decision: sell our influencer agency to the agency Heaven and focus exclusively on technology.
Freed from the services business, we devoted all our resources to our SaaS software. The choice was driven by a deep trend: brands and agencies increasingly want to bring the management of their influencer campaigns in-house. They need a tool that is complete, reliable and easy to pick up.
Three years later, that product is recognised as the best on the market.
“We bet everything on the product, with no safety net”
For Stéphane Bouillet, founder of Influence4You, this award closes a demanding chapter:
“Selling our original agency was one of the hardest decisions of my life as an entrepreneur. We bet everything on the product, with no safety net. This award is the finest recognition for a team that never stopped building.”
Thank you to the INfluencia jury, to our clients who trust us every day, and to the whole team who made this award possible.
What’s next?
AI-assisted casting, gifting, local influence, UGC, end-to-end campaign management and performance measurement, across every social network: all your influencer marketing in one place.
