How Saku's Long-Term Influencer Strategy Redefined Brand Trust
Five years ago, Anda Vlasaku launched Saku, a boutique influencer marketing agency with a focus on long-term partnerships. The company now operates across the UK, the U.S., and wider Europe, achieving a seven-figure turnover. Unlike many in the industry, Saku avoids short-term gimmicks and instead builds trust between brands and audiences through authentic creators. Saku’s strategy centres on matching brands with relatable talent to create lasting connections. The agency avoids chasing fleeting trends or vanity metrics, prioritising measurable impact and return on investment. According to Vlasaku, authenticity and relatability now drive influence more than ever.
One of Saku’s standout successes involved pairing Lyre’s, the non-alcoholic spirits brand, with superstar DJ David Guetta. The campaign reached over 100 million fans and supported Lyre’s global expansion. Another key partnership spans three years with Mrwhosetheboss, the UK’s top tech YouTuber, on behalf of tech giant Opera. The agency’s approach goes beyond one-off promotions. Saku carefully selects creators based on where their strengths fit within the marketing funnel. This ensures campaigns feel natural and align with both the brand’s purpose and the influencer’s audience. In an era dominated by AI and automation, the team emphasises human relationships as the foundation for sustained engagement.
Saku’s model demonstrates how long-term influencer partnerships can deliver tangible results. By focusing on trust and relatability, the agency helps brands expand their reach while maintaining credibility. With a growing footprint across multiple markets, its approach continues to redefine influencer marketing for lasting impact.
