OUR MISSION

Kolsquare is proud to be a Benefit Corporation, certified B-Corp in 2024.

Influencer Marketing is hailed as a revolutionary $30B industry that has transformed the media and digital landscape. It is both a goldmine of opportunity and a field surrounded by myths and uncertainties. While everyone acknowledges its impact on brand awareness and customer acquisition, not everyone knows how to harness its potential effectively.

At Kolsquare, we believe wholeheartedly in the power of this new media. We see it as the most impactful way for ideas, individuals, and organizations to grow and achieve their greatest potential. Furthermore, we believe it is an incredible tool to create meaningful, positive change for a better world.

Our mission is simple: to make the power of KOL Marketing accessible to all.
