"Through technology, we want to empower managers to spend more time on the work that counts."

"People are at the heart of our business, and we do our best work when we have a deep knowledge of each influencer - what they're passionate about, where they are in their lives - and these new tools help make that information accessible from Talent Managers to brands," says Lauren McGrath, VP Studio & Strategy at ACTIVATE.
