See how your brand
stacks up

Creators read audiences better than any brand. We encode that judgment so you see how you stack up, where rivals are gaining ground, and what bets to make next.

Analytics only measure what you already look for. We watch the communities one hop out from your audience, and the creators shaping them, then get the why fast.

"It's certainly better than anything someone in the agency could say to me."

Director of Brand & Marketing Strategy Ex-BCG · Series C CPG Startup

"These platforms don't actually give you recommendations. It's just a data dump. Then it's up to you to sift through all these dashboards."

On current tools

"8-10 days a month on data collection and crunching. A lot of it is us doing the consultant work."

On time spent

"When a CMO tries to communicate to a CFO, there's a huge break in understanding. Our budgets are the first to get cut."

On attribution gaps, Fortune 500 Beauty

"If you had something that actually gave strategic recommendations, we'd probably pay double."

On willingness to pay

What we're hearing from marketing leaders at Fortune 500 and growth-stage brands

10 tools. No strategy.
Flying blind.

Analytics only measure what brands already know to look for. Focus groups get the why, but slowly and on a small slice. Brand Muse watches the communities one hop out from your audience, and the creators shaping them, then gets the why fast. That is the strategy layer missing from a stack of tools that only automate pieces.

We're launching a summer campaign for Gen Z. Who should we work with and what's our competition doing?
Brand Muse
Based on your brand positioning and current trends, I've identified 12 high-fit creators. Your top competitor launched with @SarahStyles last week and she's overexposed in your category. I'd recommend @MiaTalks (Muse Score: 87) who has untapped audience overlap with your ICP.

What budget should I allocate and what ROI can we expect?
Brand Muse
For your target reach and this creator mix, I recommend $180K across 8 creators. Based on historical performance for this creator mix, here is the projected range and what would prove it: a geo holdout on launch. Want me to draft outreach sequences and negotiate rate cards?

The proprietary loop

Four steps. Same method for restoring intuition and proving what spend drives.

01

Decompose

Break an audience into granular behavioral dimensions, not broad personas, and keep an always-on watch on how they move.

02

Connect

Traverse the audience graph one or two hops out to non-obvious adjacent communities and the creators shaping them.

03

Explain

Run fast, targeted primary research (short diary studies, real behavior) on flagged segments to get the why, not just the signal.

04

Synthesize

Turn the what and the why into a small set of testable provocations, then measure for a month against real performance.

Beyond dashboards.
Strategy that compounds.

Find the non-obvious and get the why. See where you are winning, where rivals are gaining ground, and what your creator spend actually drives.

Incrementality & ROI Proof

Start by proving what your creator spend actually drove. Directional ranges and clear tests to validate them. Proof first, forecasts later.

Chat-First Experience

Ask anything about your creator marketing. Get strategic answers, not just data. One interface for strategy, discovery, optimization, and reporting.

Competitive Intelligence

See what is breaking out before it is obvious. Know who is overexposed, who is emerging, and where the white space is in the communities around your audience.

Cross-Platform Normalization

Compare TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube performance on unified metrics. No more apples-to-oranges reporting.

Strategic Recommendations

Turn audience signals into a small set of testable provocations. Strategy that serves the audience plan, not a siloed creator channel.

Strategy-First Approach

Our Creator Strategy Leads combine consulting rigor with creator judgment. That dual perspective is what unlocks authentic partnership results.

Questions, answered

What marketing leaders ask before bringing audience and creator strategy in-house.

What is Brand Muse?
Brand Muse is an AI creator marketing strategist that brings creator marketing in-house for consumer brands spending millions on agencies. We use creator data to understand audiences: how they move, which adjacent communities matter, and which non-obvious bets to make next. Creators are the lens. The audience is the unit of planning.
How is Brand Muse different from CreatorIQ or Grin?
CreatorIQ and Grin help you find and manage creators. Brand Muse helps you understand the audience those creators reach. We show how your strategy stacks up, where rivals are gaining ground in communities you may not be watching, and what bets to make next. Workflow tools run the channel. We inform the audience strategy behind it.
Who is Brand Muse for?
Brand Muse is built for marketing leaders at enterprise brands and growth-stage companies making significant creator marketing investments. Our users include Directors of Marketing Strategy, Consumer Engagement leads, Insights leads, and CMOs at large consumer brands who plan audience-first and need creator decisions that serve that plan.
How does Brand Muse measure creator marketing ROI?
We start by proving what your creator spend actually drove through incrementality, not correlations. Brand Muse normalizes metrics across platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) and connects spend to business outcomes. Every engagement adds to the performance and reliability track record that makes forecasts more trustworthy over time.
What is the Brand Muse Score?
The Brand Muse Score is an alignment metric showing how well a creator fits your audience and brand goals. It considers engagement velocity, audience quality, authenticity, content quality, and brand alignment. The score's confidence grows with observed engagements, so it is a signal that strengthens over time, not a guarantee on day one.
What is an AI creator strategist?
An AI creator strategist encodes creator judgment into a system brands can run. Brand Muse decomposes audiences, connects adjacent communities, explains the why, and turns that into testable bets. It replaces the expensive consultant layer that used to sit between creator data and strategy decisions.
What is creator intelligence?
Creator intelligence is audience intelligence read through creators. Creators sit closest to how people actually talk, share, and decide. Brand Muse uses patterns across 350M+ creator profiles to surface non-obvious truths about your audience and the communities around it, then connects those insights to creator bets and broader marketing decisions.
Can AI predict influencer marketing ROI?
We start by proving what your creator spend actually drove through incrementality, not correlations. Every engagement adds to the performance and reliability track record that makes forecasts trustworthy over time. Precise predictions come after the proof, not before it.
How do you scale creator intuition?
Brand Muse scales creator intuition. Creators read audiences better than any brand. We encode that judgment so brands see how they stack up and know what bets to make next. The method: decompose audiences into behavioral dimensions, connect one or two hops out to adjacent communities and the creators shaping them, explain the why with fast diary studies, and synthesize testable provocations. Our founding team includes a BCG strategist and a YouTube creator with 40K+ subscribers, 4M+ views, and 40+ managed brand campaigns from both sides.
What's the best influencer marketing platform for enterprise brands?
If you need discovery and campaign ops, use CreatorIQ or Grin. If you need audience-first strategy that uses creator data to find non-obvious communities, prove what spend drove, and decide what bets to make next, Brand Muse is the strategist layer. It helps CMOs justify creator investments to CFOs without treating creators as a siloed channel.
