DALLAS - TelAve -- Creator marketing has become one of the most powerful ways for brands to build trust and reach audiences, yet getting started remains unnecessarily difficult on both sides of the equation. Today, Perkifi announced the launch of its AI-powered creator marketing platform designed to break down those barriers and make creator marketing accessible to everyone.

For brands, launching a creator program can mean navigating fragmented tools, finding the right creators, managing dozens of relationships, tracking performance, and addressing risk and compliance, often without the budget or internal resources of a large enterprise marketing team.

For aspiring creators, the barriers are different but just as real. Millions of people have expertise, perspectives, passions, and communities worth sharing, but many don't know where to start, how to position themselves, or how to turn content creation into a professional opportunity.

Perkifi was built for both.

Creator Marketing for Everyone

Perkifi gives brands the infrastructure to build creator marketing programs without having to build an entire influencer marketing operation from scratch. Through one platform, marketing teams can discover relevant creators, launch and manage ambassador and creator programs, oversee partnerships, measure campaign performance and ROI, and navigate risk and compliance.

On the creator side, Perkifi is designed to help people move from "I want to become a creator" to "I know how to start."

Creators can build a professional profile and leverage AI agents to build a 4 week getting started content playbook receive guidance on establishing their niche and positioning, plan content, evaluate potential risks, and get actionable recommendations to strengthen their presence over time.

"We believe creator marketing is too powerful to be reserved for the biggest brands and most established influencers," said Chaitanya "CP" Patel, CEO of Perkifi. "There are growing companies that know creators could transform how they reach their customers but don't know how to build the program. And there are incredibly talented people who could become influential creators but don't know how to begin. Perkifi exists to close both of those gaps."

Breaking Down the Barriers to the Creator Economy

Perkifi enters the market as creator marketing continues to evolve from an experimental channel into a core component of how brands earn attention and trust.

But much of the infrastructure surrounding the industry was built for companies already investing heavily in influencer marketing or for creators who have already established significant audiences.

Perkifi is taking a different approach.

Rather than operating as a traditional talent agency or creator marketplace, Perkifi provides the technology and intelligence that enable brands and creators to build their own capabilities.

For brands, that means making it easier and more cost-effective to launch and scale creator programs internally.

For creators, it means providing a clearer path into an industry that can otherwise feel difficult to enter.

The goal: expand who gets to participate in the creator economy.

AI That Makes Creator Marketing Easier, Not Less Human

Artificial intelligence is central to the Perkifi platform, helping reduce the manual work and complexity traditionally associated with creator marketing.

Perkifi uses AI to support creator discovery, campaign management, content planning, performance intelligence, and risk analysis, allowing smaller marketing teams to operate programs that historically required significantly more resources.

But the company believes technology should support the relationships at the center of creator marketing rather than replace them.

"Creator marketing works because people trust people," said Patel "AI can make finding the right partners, managing programs, understanding performance, and creating consistently dramatically easier. But the human voice is still the thing that makes creator marketing work. We're using technology to make more of those connections possible."

Building the Next Generation of Creators

As part of its launch, Perkifi is also investing in education and resources for people who are at the beginning of their creator journey.

On August 18, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. ET, Perkifi will sponsor "How to Start Creating: Find Your Voice, Niche and Confidence," a free virtual webinar hosted by creator and entrepreneur Nehal Tenany Mewani.

The session will help aspiring, mid and early-stage creators understand how to identify their niche, develop an authentic voice, get comfortable creating content, and build the confidence to start putting themselves out there.

The webinar represents the first in a series of resources and experiences Perkifi plans to develop to help more people confidently enter and participate in the creator economy.

What's Next

With its launch, Perkifi is focused initially on growing companies that recognize the value of creator-led marketing but have historically lacked the resources, infrastructure, or expertise to build programs themselves.

The company sees particular opportunity across healthcare, wellness, and other trust-driven industries, where authentic voices can play an increasingly important role in how consumers discover, understand, and connect with brands.

At the same time, Perkifi will continue building tools, education, and community for emerging creators, creating an ecosystem where more people can build influence and more brands can work with them.

Creator marketing is growing. Perkifi wants to make sure more people get to participate in what comes next.
