About us
We built the thing we kept wishing existed.
We started as freelancers. The work grew faster than that setup could carry — more projects, bigger budgets, the same small team — and the right move became obvious: stop freelancing, build something proper. Cloud Nine represents creators and builds the partnerships that help both sides grow.
We believe influence should mean something.
Influence isn’t built overnight. It takes years to earn an audience, build trust, and create a voice that people genuinely listen to.
Yet influencer marketing often becomes a numbers game — brands chasing reach and creators taking deals that don’t always feel right.
We started Cloud Nine to change that.
We bring brands and creators together through partnerships that feel relevant, authentic, and built to last. We take the time to understand the brand, the creator, and most importantly, the audience — because the right collaboration should feel like a natural fit, not an advertisement forced into a feed.
We work closely with both sides of the ecosystem: managing a select roster of creators while building and executing creator-led campaigns for brands. Being on both sides gives us a deeper understanding of what makes a partnership valuable — from the first conversation to the final piece of content.
Because great influencer marketing isn’t just about influence. It’s about trust, relevance, and creating something people actually want to engage with.
End to end
What “we handle everything” actually means.
Onboarding
We audit the whole footprint — audience, formats, rates, existing commitments — and agree what the next year should look like before we take a single call on your behalf.
Positioning
We decide which categories fit and which to turn down. Saying no to the wrong brand protects the rate you can charge the right one.
Sourcing
We take the pitch to brands and agencies directly rather than waiting in an inbox, and bring back briefs worth reading.
Negotiation and contracts
Fees, usage, exclusivity, deliverables, timelines. The terms people skim are the terms that cost money later, so we read them properly, and we argue when it matters.
Execution
Briefs, scripts, approvals, revisions, go-live. We keep the brand off your back and the schedule on track.
Reporting and renewal
Numbers the brand can take to its board, and the evidence base for a better rate next time. Most of our work is repeat work.
What we hold to
The standards behind every partnership.
A wide, curated roster
Our roster brings together creators across niches, platforms, audience sizes and content styles — but what connects them is authenticity. We look for creators with genuine audiences, strong voices, and the ability to build real connections.
The right match
A great collaboration starts with the right fit. We look beyond follower counts to match brands with creators based on audience, content, relevance and shared values.
Clarity from day one
No vague promises. No last-minute surprises. From deliverables and timelines to usage rights and payment terms, everything is clear before the work begins.
Performance with purpose
We don’t just report numbers — we understand them. When a campaign underperforms, we identify why, what could have worked better, and how to improve the next one. We learn, optimise, and give every campaign our best.
