Director

Two weeks ago I shared our 2026 Influencer Growth Playbook - and the response has been unreal.

I’ve had CMOs, Heads of Growth, brand founders and even other agencies DM me saying:

• they’re using it to restructure their entire 2026 strategy
• it’s now “the internal bible” for their influencer channel
• it’s the first time they’ve had a clear, end-to-end framework that actually makes sense
• their team finally understands how influencer, affiliate, UGC and paid all connect

Exactly why we made it public.

Most teams are still operating influencer with 2022 playbooks.

The industry has moved on.
Consumer behaviour has moved on.
NYNM is getting more competitive every year.

But with the right system, influencer becomes one of the most predictable growth levers a Health & Wellness brand has.

If you missed the original drop - you can still get it.

Like this post.
Comment "2026".
Make sure we’re connected so I can send the Google Drive link.

And if you’ve already downloaded it: thank you. Seeing it become your team’s go-to resource for 2026 has been the best part.

Augmentum Media turns 4 today.

Just took a moment to take stock of what’s happened since two twenty-something-year-olds decided to start an agency with no network, no funding and (if we’re honest) no idea what we were doing.

Four years later:

We’ve built a team I’d back against anyone.
We’ve delivered campaigns across 7+ regions.
We’ve grown every year without giving away equity.
We’ve retained clients at a rate I’m genuinely proud of.
And we’ve done it all while still staying true to the way we wanted to work.

But the part I’m most grateful for?

The people.

The team who show up every day with high standards and zero ego.

The clients who trusted us long before we “looked” like a proper agency.

The partners, operators and friends who nudged us in the right direction at the right time.

And everyone who took a bet on two founders learning everything in real-time.

Augmentum at 4 is very different from Augmentum at 1.

More structure.
More maturity.
More clarity.
Less chaos (mostly).

But the same tempo, the same hunger, the same belief that we can build something special in this space.

And honestly - it still feels like day one.

Thanks to everyone who’s been part of the journey so far.

We’re just getting started 🥂

Speed is our biggest advantage at Augmentum.

It’s what got us from a 2-person team to where we are now.
It’s how we’ve out-executed agencies 10x our size.
It’s why clients trust us to move faster than their internal teams.

But here’s the part people don’t see:

Speed is addictive.

You get so used to moving quickly that you forget to think slowly.

You forget that not every decision should be made in the same hour.

You forget that long-term thinking needs room, not adrenaline.

This year has been a balancing act between:


Moving fast enough to stay ahead
… and slowing down enough to actually steer.

Both matter.

And the better you get at toggling between the two, the stronger your business becomes.

Still figuring it out - but getting better each quarter.

If you’re in that same tension between speed and strategy… same boat.

It’s uncomfortable, but it’s also where most of the growth happens.

Nobody talks about how lonely scaling actually is.

Not the LinkedIn version.
The real version.

The version where you’re celebrating a client win on a Zoom call…

and then 20 minutes later you’re sitting alone staring at a spreadsheet wondering how you’re going to solve the next operational fire.

When things go well, everyone sees the output.
When things go badly, you feel every inch of the pressure yourself.

Your wins are shared.
Your stress is solo.

It took me far too long to realise the answer wasn’t “push harder” or “be tougher”.

It was people.

The right team.
The right advisors.
The right founders in your corner.
The right network that gets what you’re building.

Once that clicked, everything shifted.

Momentum got lighter.
Decision-making got faster.
Problems became shared instead of carried.

Scaling is still challenging - of course it is.
But it feels different when you’re not carrying it alone.

If you’re in that phase right now: nothing’s wrong with you.
This is simply the part of the journey no one glamorises.

Keep going.

This DM is why our clients win more influencer partnerships, at better prices, with better performance than their competitors.

Most brands think the secret to influencer marketing is:

Better tools.
Bigger budgets.
More creators.
Cleaner tracking.

But the real lever (the one nobody talks about) is in this screenshot.

A creator telling us we're their favourite brand to work with.
That they love the experience.
That they’d even looked for jobs with the brand.

Now let me ask you something:

How likely is it that a creator who feels this way…

• gives you a better rate than any of your competitors
• delivers content with actual passion, not obligation
•posts on time (without being chased)
• goes above and beyond what you asked for
• says yes to affiliate partnerships
• stays active for months, not weeks
• agrees to usage rights for free
• organically posts about you again
• introduces you to other creators
• puts real effort into creative because the relationship matters
• treats your brief like a priority, not an afterthought

This is not fluff.
This is performance.

Influencers are not billboards.
They are humans.

And humans work harder for brands they actually like.

This is why relationship building sits at the base of every one of our programs.

It’s why we seed at scale.
It’s why we build community.
And it’s why our clients see thousands of creators delivering, month after month.

You want better results?
Build better relationships.

It’s the most underrated growth lever in influencer marketing - and the one that compounds the hardest.

November was chaos.
The good kind.

Every year, this is our peak season.

BFCM campaigns, Q4 launches, NYNM planning, new clients…

All happening at once.

But this November?
Hands down the busiest month in our agency’s history.

And somehow - the team didn’t just survive it…

they beat our growth targets by 30% while delivering some of the biggest campaigns we’ve ever run.

Across the board:

• Massive BFCM pushes
• Tens of thousands of creators activated
• Record content volume
• New brands onboarding
• Major strategic projects launched
• Zero drop in service quality
• And a team moving at full sprint, together

What I’m most proud of isn’t the targets.
Or the numbers.
Or the client wins.

It’s the fact that even in the most hectic month we’ve ever had, the team pulled each other up - not apart.

People stepped in. Stepped up.

Picked up slack. Pushed projects over the line.

Supported one another.

Delivered their best work when it mattered the most.

You learn a lot about a company in months like this.

And this month confirmed it again:

We have a team that performs like a unit - not a collection of individuals.

November was a lot.

But December…

December is where we take everything we learned and go even bigger for 2026. Can't wait.

Onwards.

Brands ask me all the time:

“How do you find influencers that actually perform?”

So I put together the resource I wish every marketing team had.

Our complete influencer sourcing playbook.

The one that shows exactly how we:
• Vet creators in under 60 seconds
• Remove 90% of the “fake good” influencers
• Build lists that convert into long-term affiliates
• Scale from 25 → 250 creators/month without lowering quality
• Hit opt-in rates most brands think are impossible

This is the engine behind some wild results this year - but the truth is, any brand can use it.

If you want the doc, comment “SOURCE”.

The biggest difference between people who grow fast in their careers and people who don’t?

It’s not talent.
It’s not experience.
It’s not having the “right” background.

It’s speed of response.

People who grow fast don’t wait for clarity.
They create it.

They take ownership before they feel ready.
They ask questions before problems appear.
They move first, learn fast, and adjust as they go.

I’ve seen this up close inside Augmentum Media.

The people who’ve grown the most - the ones who’ve levelled up roles, taken on huge responsibility, and become leaders - weren’t necessarily the most experienced when they joined.

They were the ones who:

• replied fast
• cared deeply
• kept momentum high
• didn’t need hand-holding
• figured things out on the fly
• acted like owners, not task-takers

And the whole agency has benefitted because of it.

We’re a small team doing work at the level of agencies 10x our size.

Not because we’re “smarter,” but because the people here operate with urgency, clarity and genuine pride in the outcome.

That’s what creates high performance.
That’s what creates real opportunity.
That’s what creates momentum.

If you want to grow fast in your career, this is the unlock:

Be the person who moves.
Be the person who takes ownership.
Be the person who raises the standard.

Even when nobody is watching.

Everything else is secondary.

A quiet win worth shouting about.

Recently we have moved more and more of our clients to Refunnel.

Over 80% to be exact.

Why?

The reason is simple:

→ We save every tagged story, reel, post automatically
→ We can use that content in ads with one click
→ We finally see who’s driving real results 

For our clients, it means less mess, more content, and better results.

We can now…

→ Have more usable content
→ Have cleaner reporting
→ Avoid chasing creators for assets

Big thanks to Atif Raza and Zohaib Rattu 🤳 for building something that simply just makes sense.

+ highly responsive to suggestions that make our operations team's life easier.

DM’s are open to discuss how exactly we are using it.

(and no not a sponsored post, just a platform I rate)

Partnering with brands that actually execute at speed hits different.

We’ve been working with the Huel team on multiple influencer-led gifting campaigns this year - and the response from creators has been insane.

The best part?
It’s felt less like “agency <> client”… and more like one combined team.

Here’s what Dom had to say.

And our numbers for their Daily Greens RTD launch back it up:

• 1M+ impressions at launch
• 258 affiliates recruited
• 420+ pieces of launch content
• All organic. Zero paid influencer fees.

Huge shoutout to Dom and the Huel team - it only works when everyone runs in the same direction.

🔗 Case study link on our website

Most people don’t know this…

…but the first charity event we ever ran at Augmentum was when we were completely broke.

No funding. No salary. No idea if the agency would survive another six months.

But we did it anyway. Because impact was always the point.
Long before the clients, the case studies, or the team.

Fast-forward to last week where we ran a Mario Kart competition at DMWF, with all prize money going to charity.

We weren’t expecting anything from it. Again, just wanted to make a long conference week a bit lighter and do something good.

Then this message came through (screenshot below).

That’s when it hit me: everything we’ve built has been rooted in the same belief we started with:

Trust matters.
People matter.
Impact matters.

It’s why we built an agency focused on authentic promotion in an industry that desperately needs it.

It’s why we care so deeply about creator relationships, not transactions.

It’s why we try to show up as humans first, marketers second.

And it’s why, even as we scale, I never want us to lose this part.

The work is important.
But how we work… that’s what people remember.

To creating more impact in 2026 💙

Dave: “So let me get this straight.
You’re running influencer marketing.”

Caller: “Yep.”

Dave: “You’re seeding hundreds of creators… building an affiliate program… driving real revenue?”

Caller: “Correct.”

Dave: “You’ve got creators posting every day… your CPMs are dropping… customers are converting?”

Caller: “That’s right.”

Dave: “And yet… every time you report results, someone in the business says:
‘Yeah but… do we really know it was influencers?’”

Caller: “Every single week, Dave.”

Dave: leans back, arms crossed.

“Mmhmm. Let me guess - they love the creator content, they love the CPMs, they love the customer feedback… but because attribution isn’t a clean last-click screenshot… they don’t trust it.”

Caller: “Exactly.”

Dave: “So they keep cutting budgets.”

Caller: “Yep.”

Dave: “Even though… when you pause influencer, Meta performance tanks… and when you scale influencer, Meta suddenly looks like a cheat code.”

Caller: “It’s actually insane to watch.”

Dave: “Son… that’s not a marketing strategy.
That’s someone running the business off a dashboard that only tells the last 3 seconds of the customer journey.”

Caller: “So what do I do?”

Dave: “You keep going.

Because this is the messy middle of influencer marketing:

Not brand-only.
Not performance-only.
Not instantly attributable.
Not instantly scalable.

It’s the uncomfortable middle where trust compounds quietly… until one day the whole acquisition engine clicks.”

Caller: “That’s what it feels like.”

Dave: “And trust me - the minute it happens, the same people who doubted the channel will swear they ‘always believed in creators.’

They’ll take credit.
They’ll ask you for more budget.
They’ll act like they understood it all along.”

Long stare at the camera.

Dave: “Thanks for calling.”

The biggest lie marketers tell themselves about influencer marketing?

“That if it doesn’t show up in attribution, it didn’t work.”

This single belief is killing more growth than bad creators, bad briefs or bad content ever will.

Because here’s the truth nobody wants to admit:

Influencer rarely shows up cleanly in-platform... but it shows up everywhere else.

Branded search lifts.
Lower Meta CPMs.
Higher CTR.
Higher conversion.
Cheaper retargeting.
More UGC.
Faster repeat purchase.
Better retention.
Better word-of-mouth.
Retail impact.
Funnel compression.

But attribution won’t show you any of that.

So what happens?

A creator drives the interest.
Another ad gets the click.
Paid search gets the credit.
And influencer gets paused.

Then CAC mysteriously rises.
CPMs climb.
Paid performance tanks.

And the team starts “testing new creative” for the 14th time.

This happens every week inside brands.

Here’s the contrarian truth:

Influencer isn’t a closing channel.

It’s an everything channel.

It’s the reason your paid ads work better.
It’s the reason your brand shows up everywhere.
It’s the reason your category sees you as relevant.
It’s the reason your NYNM funnel will convert.

If you measure influencer like Meta, it will always lose.
If you measure it like a trust engine, it will win every time.

2026 will be the year brands finally realise this.

The ones who get it early will own their category.

Influencer seeding is having a moment.
But most brands are still treating it like a “nice-to-have” and not a growth channel.

If you’re looking to turn seeding into a cultural momentum, repeatable content, and a pipeline of new customers.

This one’s for you. 

I’m hosting a free live workshop: 
The Brand Heat Playbook - How to Turn Influencer Seeding Into Cultural Momentum

Here’s what you’ll learn: 

👉 How to discover perfect-fit influencers at scale without burning your team
👉 How to turn seeded creators into real customers, and affiliates
👉 Real examples from brands that built momentum without paying for posts
If you’re looking to turn influencer into a predictable revenue channel in 2026 - you can’t miss this one out.
