CreatorIQ announced the company has raised $12 million to accelerate growth for its Enterprise Creator Cloud, the software platform that enables AI-powered creator discovery, streamlines end-to-end workflow, ensures brand safety, and drives meaningful measurement for the influencer marketing industry. The Series B round was led by software-focused growth equity firm TVC Capital, with additional investments by Affinity Group, a firm founded in partnership with TPG Growth and Evolution Media, and Unilever Ventures.

 “The most impactful brand stories no longer come directly from brands. They are told in collaboration with passionate advocates who are helping build culturally relevant companies by delivering these stories to the world,” said Igor Vaks, Founder & CEO, CreatorIQ. “We see organizations of all sizes embracing new ways of building relationships with their customers, and brand advocacy has proven to be a competitive advantage. Brands are turning to influencer marketing because it drives results, but only enterprise-grade technologies can help them succeed at scale alongside older and more mature marketing channels.”
