Mitchell began as a full-service PR agency, and as part of dentsu, has developed a long track record of driving breakthrough influencer marketing campaigns. The agency enjoys one of the longest standing relationships with the world’s number one retailer and specializes in leveraging influencers to drive retail/e-comm traffic. 

Our approach allows for relationship-driven influencer/brand connections. We partner with creators in a meaningful way that translates into authentic messages delivered to key audience segments. What sets dentsu influencer marketing apart is the end-to-end service offering that consists of six key pillars: strategy, creative, talent selection and vetting, campaign delivery, distribution and reporting. Our team leverages the power of data analytics to identify the right influencers for the right brand ethos and ensure it is filtered through a lens of diversity and inclusion. And, we use data intelligence to set performance benchmarks, fuel high performing content and resolve challenges with underachieving content to deliver results.
