What each agency actually does
What AdParlor was
The first thing to state is that AdParlor is a historical brand. This is easy to verify: the rename is stated first-party rather than left for a reader to infer. The business took the Trevant name and trades from Overland Park, Kansas.
A founding year was looked for on trevant.com and not found. The model pairs creator content with paid media rather than selling creator work alone. Three locations are published: Overland Park in Kansas, New York and Toronto.
A brand that wanted AdParlor should be talking to Trevant. The earlier New York headquarters is contradicted by the company's own Kansas address.
What AdParlor was known for
- Attribution built into creator work
- Work for Norwegian Cruise Line and HSN
- Paid-social buying alongside creators
- A named client testimonial on its own site
Why it is not a live option
- Pricing figures were not found on the trevant.com pages read (September 2026)
- A founding year was not found on trevant.com (checked September 2026)
- No scale or network figure is published
- A reader must search Trevant instead
What is Arch
Arch is the gaming-and-apps specialist. Set up in Zagreb in 2019 by brothers Ivan and Davorin Smit, it works almost only with game and app brands, optimising for installs, cost per install, ROAS and retention instead of plain awareness. Depth meets reach here: a network of 5,000-plus influencers spanning the Americas, Europe, MENA and Australia, with multi-language campaigns running on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and Instagram. Wargaming, Surfshark, Revolut, Binance and SuperPlay have all worked with it.
It stays small and bootstrapped, never having taken funding, with budgets agreed before a campaign and every activation judged on performance numbers. Pricing is private and the work fully managed. That comparison does not hold, because AdParlor is no longer trading. A brand outside it is not the target. For brands that would rather search creators themselves, there is a third route.
What Arch does well
- Tight specialism in games and apps
- Performance metrics: installs, CPI, ROAS
- 5,000+ influencers, multi-language reach
- Named games and app clients
Where it falls short
- Narrow vertical, games and apps only
- No public pricing
- Small bootstrapped team
- Managed only, no self-serve search
Head to head
There is an asymmetry to state before any comparison. Anyone who came here for it should know AdParlor is a brand that no longer trades. Two checks settle it: trevant.com is live and introduces the business as Trevant, formerly AdParlor. It now trades under the Trevant name. With AdParlor out of the picture, the practical comparison is Arch against doing it yourself.
