What each agency actually does
What is CloutBoost
CloutBoost is a gaming agency built on data. Founded in 2018 and based in Richardson, Texas, it runs acquisition-focused gaming influencer campaigns for game publishers, backed by a database it puts at 1.5M+ gaming influencers with real-time data. Clients include Samsung, Sony and Wargaming.
It goes beyond influencer work into gaming PR and paid media, so it can run a full gaming go-to-market rather than just creator posts. For a game publisher that wants measurable player acquisition from people who understand gaming, that specialism is the draw.
What CloutBoost does well
- Acquisition-focused gaming campaigns
- 650K+ gaming creator database
- Also runs gaming PR and paid media
Where it falls short
- Pricing not established from its homepage or about page (checked Sep 2026)
- Best fit is gaming
- Full-service managed only
What FamePick was
What a searcher needs to know first is that FamePick is a historical brand. The evidence is straightforward: the original domain has lapsed completely and the fallback is on the market. Both of its known domains have gone.
The original domain was allowed to lapse rather than transferred. Both self-serve and managed routes were offered. On the public record it was a venture-backed creator-marketing platform founded around 2016 in Redwood City, California.
No live business has taken the name on. No statement of closure was found, which is why the wording here stops short of calling it defunct.
What FamePick was known for
- A hybrid of marketplace and managed service
- LinkFolio media kits, per old directory listings that can no longer be checked
- Venture backing behind the platform
- Both self-serve and managed routes
Why it is not a live option
- Only a stale profile remains
- The other is listed for sale
- One domain has no DNS at all
- It is not a product a reader can go and use
Head to head
This pairing needs a caveat before the detail. What a searcher needs to know first is that FamePick is a historical brand. The evidence is straightforward: famepick.io is fully deregistered, with no DNS records of any type and famepick.com serves a page whose entire content is the words famepick.com for sale. Both of its known domains have gone. With FamePick out of the picture, the practical comparison is CloutBoost against doing it yourself.
