Columbus's most trusted Influencer Marketing company.

GRIN-Powered Campaign Management

We manage your entire Columbus influencer roster inside GRIN — from outreach and contracts to content approvals and payment — so nothing falls through the cracks.

Columbus' Test-Market Advantage

National brands use Columbus to test campaigns before national rollout. We leverage that same intelligence — identifying which creator tiers and content formats perform before scaling spend.

TikTok Spark Ads Whitelisting

We whitelist top-performing TikToks via Spark Ads, converting organic creator posts into targeted paid campaigns that reach Columbus consumers beyond the creator's existing audience.

Nano & Micro Creator Networks

Columbus has a thriving community of nano (1K–10K) and micro (10K–100K) creators in food, fashion, fitness, and family niches — high engagement, low CPE, authentic reach.

Full FTC Compliance

Every campaign includes mandatory #ad disclosures, written creator agreements, and post-approval review to keep your brand fully compliant.

Columbus Market Insights

72%

of Gen-Z Columbus consumers say they've purchased a product after seeing a TikTok or IG creator post about it

Columbus' outsized student population (70,000+ at OSU alone) and its role as a national retail test market make it one of the highest-intent influencer audiences in the US. Brands that invest in micro and nano creator campaigns here see CPE rates well below the national average — especially in food, beauty, and apparel — because Columbus creators have tight-knit, highly trusting local audiences.

Transparent Pricing

Influencer Marketing packages for Columbus companies

Influencer marketing at TML is priced by campaign scope. A micro-influencer campaign (5-10 creators, one platform, one month) typically costs $4,000–$8,000 including agency fees and influencer compensation. Mid-tier campaigns (10-25 creators, multi-platform) range from $8,000–$20,000. Large-scale campaigns with macro and mega influencers are scoped individually.
