"For a decade, Webfluential has been at the forefront of connecting brands with influential voices," says Murray Legg, Co-Founder of Webfluential. "Today, we're taking a giant leap forward. Our new platform isn't just about influencer marketing anymore — it's about unleashing the full potential of the creator economy."

The expanded Webfluential platform introduces a suite of innovative products and services that cater to the evolving needs of content creators and brands alike, says Webfluential. 

According to the platform, these products and services include:

Enhanced Content Creation and Collaboration

Building on its core strength, Webfluential continues to facilitate seamless partnerships between brands and influencers, now with advanced tools for content ideation, creation and performance distribution.

Direct-To-Audience Sales

Creators can now monetise their influence directly, selling products and services to their audience through integrated e-commerce solutions. 

Stock Content Marketplace 

A new feature allowing creators to produce and sell stock content, expanding their revenue streams beyond sponsored posts. 

Lead Generation Tools

Empowering creators to become valuable channel partners in lead generation for businesses across various industries.

AI-Powered Insights

Cutting-edge artificial intelligence tools to help both creators and brands optimise their strategies and maximise their Return On Ad Spend (ROAS). 

Webfluential says that this expansion positions it at the intersection of influencer marketing, e-commerce and digital advertising, creating a holistic ecosystem for the creator economy.

"Stories have always been at the heart of human connection," says Legg. "Our platform is built on the understanding that in the digital age, creators are the storytellers who forge genuine connections between brands and audiences. We're giving them the tools to tell these stories more effectively and profitably than ever before."

The launch of this new pillar of focus coincides with a shifting landscape in digital marketing, where consumers increasingly turn to trusted individuals rather than traditional advertising for product recommendations and lifestyle inspiration, adds the platform.

Webfluential's decade of experience in the influencer marketing space uniquely positions the company to lead this evolution. By expanding its services, with a particular focus on Africa, Webfluential concludes that it aims to not only serve the current needs of the creator economy but also to shape its future.
