Full-service agency
We've built our practice on a simple truth: people buy from people they trust. When the right creator authentically endorses a product to an audience that already believes in them, the result is social proof at scale. That's the foundation of every campaign we run.
We connect brands with the right creators, manage end-to-end campaign execution, and deliver measurable results. Our Jeep Wagoneer program alone generated over 1.87 billion impressions and $17.3 million in earned media value.
What Is Influencer Marketing?
Influencer marketing is a strategy where brands partner with social media creators, celebrities, and digital personalities to promote products through authentic, trusted content. It works because audiences trust recommendations from people they follow more than traditional advertising. Brands earn an average of $5.78 for every $1 invested, making it one of the highest-ROI channels in digital marketing.
The discipline sits at the intersection of the creator economy, social commerce, and authentic brand engagement — and Talent Resources has operated at that intersection since 2007.
Creator Collaborations
Partnering with social media talent to produce branded content that audiences actually want to watch.
Celebrity Influencer Marketing
Securing high-profile names that drive cultural conversation and mass earned media.
Social Media Campaigns
Coordinated content across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more, built for each platform's native format.
Brand Ambassador Programs
Long-term creator relationships that compound trust over time and build sustained brand affinity.
Performance-Driven Campaigns
Measurable, ROI-focused programs tied to clear KPIs — not vanity metrics.
Platform-Specific Campaigns
Content engineered for how audiences actually behave on each channel, because TikTok is not Instagram.
Why Influencer Marketing Works
Influencer marketing works because it replaces interruption with trust. The global influencer marketing industry reached $32.55 billion in 2025 and is projected to surpass $40 billion in 2026, growing at roughly 30% annually since 2020.
Higher engagement
TikTok influencer content delivers engagement rates of 5.3% versus 1.9% on other formats (Influencer Marketing Hub).
Better targeting
Creators reach defined communities, not broad demographics — audiences are pre-qualified by interest and trust.
Authentic storytelling
Branded content reads as recommendation, not advertisement. Audiences feel the difference.
Increased conversions
64% of Gen Z and Millennials have made purchases based on creator recommendations (LTK 2025).
Strong ROI
Top-performing campaigns return $11 to $18 per dollar spent (Influencer Marketing Hub).
Growing investment
74% of marketers plan to increase their influencer budgets in 2026 (Aspire State of Influencer Marketing).
Talent Resources built its reputation by turning these dynamics into results. Our work isn't about chasing follower counts — it's about engineering moments that move audiences and brands forward together.
Consumer trust in influencer recommendations grew to 49% in 2026, up nine points from 40% in 2025 (Influencer Marketing Hub Global Benchmark Report). 73% of Gen Z and 57% of Millennials rely on creators for purchase decisions (LTK 2025).

The Brief
Establish Jeep Wagoneer as the definitive luxury SUV of American prestige culture — not through a single campaign, but through sustained ownership of the moments the target audience cares most about across an entire season. The brand needed one agency capable of managing celebrity talent, on-site experiential, social content, paid amplification, and earned media simultaneously across six major events.
What Talent Resources Delivered
Talent Resources served as Wagoneer's Official Automotive Partner across the full Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont Stakes), Formula 1 Austin, Super Bowl New Orleans, and NBA All-Star Weekend. At every event, we managed VIP transportation, on-site brand experiences, hospitality, and celebrity talent through the "WAGS in Wags" program — turning athlete and celebrity partners into authentic brand storytellers. Creator content was immediately amplified through paid social, and a disciplined PR pitch cycle ran after every activation. The compounding model produced the full-season result: 1,875,331,815 verified total impressions and $17,346,819 in earned media value — a documented benchmark for what a sustained influencer marketing program can achieve.

A-List Celebrities
National
Campaign Reach
The Brief
Relaunch an iconic product form factor — the flip phone — to a generation that had never owned one, making the Razr+ feel simultaneously nostalgic and cutting-edge. The campaign needed celebrity partners whose personal stories made the "flip" concept feel culturally organic. A standard product-launch playbook would not cut through.
What Talent Resources Delivered
Talent Resources built the #FlipTheScript campaign by casting three celebrities whose identities each unlocked a distinct audience segment. Paris Hilton — the original queen of the flip phone era — brought nostalgia and cultural authority. Kim Petras connected the pop-music audience with a bold, forward-facing image. Coco Jones reached an emerging Gen Z fanbase. Together they created layered reach across lifestyle, music, and entertainment — turning the phone's iconic form factor into the central creative hook. Whitelisted paid amplification from each celebrity's own handle extended their organic content to custom and lookalike audiences beyond existing followers, merging three siloed fanbases into a unified national product narrative. The result was sustained social conversation and cultural relevance well beyond launch day.

First-Ever
Outdoor Fight at Times Square
The Brief
SNK's Fatal Fury franchise had a 30-year legacy but was invisible to the generation now driving gaming culture. The relaunch needed to reach a massive, young, global audience that had never played the original game — without losing the franchise's existing fanbase. A traditional gaming-press rollout could not generate the cultural moment the launch required.
What Talent Resources Delivered
Talent Resources cast KSI and IShowSpeed — two of the most-watched online creators on earth — to headline a cinematic launch trailer that immediately signaled to the new generation this was their game. The campaign then extended into live activation: both creators were paired with world-champion professional boxers across back-to-back fight weekends in London and, for the first time in history, Times Square. The cross-genre collision of gaming, live sport, and internet-native celebrity generated massive simultaneous reach across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and X — a launch moment that could not be ignored by gaming, sports, or entertainment media at once. The campaign demonstrated how the right influencer selection — not follower counts, but cultural relevance — can reintroduce a legacy franchise to an entirely new generation.
