What each agency actually does
What is The Influencer Marketing Factory
The Influencer Marketing Factory made its name turning TikTok into sales. Headquartered in Miami and New York, it carries official TikTok influencer marketing agency partner status, runs in more than 30 countries and staffs a team past 50 delivering full-service campaigns pinned to business KPIs and conversion targets. Short-form craft tied to tracking is its edge: it selects creators by a brand's goals over follower totals, runs campaigns start to finish on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and further afield, then layers in tracking codes, pixels and bespoke promo codes so a brand reads a complete reach-to-revenue report across the funnel. Measurable creator marketing is the pitch, so a brand wins viral-leaning reach it can truly link to results. That TikTok-first, ROI-tracked model is its signature. Set against SociallyIn's full social management, The Influencer Marketing Factory is the short-form performance specialist.
Pricing is custom and unposted, framed around a brand's goals over a fixed package, with a clear cost breakdown on a strategy call. The buy is short-form reach you can count: creators chosen by KPIs, full-service delivery spanning TikTok, Instagram plus YouTube and tracking that pins activity to sales via codes, pixels and one complete funnel report. For a brand chasing TikTok-leaning reach with attribution, that rigor is the pull. The catches follow. It is built for performance and short-form bursts, so a brand wanting SociallyIn's whole-presence social management meets a narrower fit. There is no self-serve tier. And the model leans conversion over always-on channel work. For a brand that wants full social media management with in-house content, SociallyIn runs a different play.
What The Influencer Marketing Factory does well
- Official TikTok partner in 30-plus countries
- Creators selected by KPIs over follower totals
- Full-funnel tracking through codes and pixels
- Short-form across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube
Where it falls short
- Made for short-form bursts, not full social
- No always-on channel management
- No self-serve tier, fully managed
- Custom pricing, strategy call required
What is SociallyIn
SociallyIn sides with the brand, not the creator. Founded in Atlanta in 2011, later adding offices in Birmingham, Dallas plus Los Angeles, it is a wholly brand-side social media management shop running a company's entire social presence over isolated creator deals. Full-stack social kept in-house is its edge: a content production team on staff builds the assets, the agency steers the social channels daily and influencer marketing sits inside that, with fake-follower filtering so partnerships hold. The pitch is a single team owning social top to bottom, so a brand hands strategy, content, channel work and influencer to one agency over piecing vendors together. It runs across many industries. That full-service social model is its signature. Next to the Factory's TikTok-first model, SociallyIn is the full social management agency.
Rates are bespoke and unposted, set as a retainer, as managed shops price. The buy is social handled top to bottom: a content production team on staff, daily channel work and influencer marketing with fake-follower filtering, all under one brand-side agency. For a brand wanting its full social presence held by one team, that breadth is the pull. The catches follow. It is built around full social management, so a brand wanting the Factory's TikTok-first conversion campaigns gets more than it needs. There is no self-serve tier or posted price. And influencer is one piece of a wider social remit over the whole focus. For a brand that wants TikTok-first, ROI-tracked creator campaigns, the Factory is the other route.
What SociallyIn does well
- All social management held under one roof
- An in-house team producing the content
- Influencer with fake-follower filtering
- Working across many industries
Where it falls short
- Built for full social, not TikTok bursts
- Influencer is one piece of a wider remit
- No self-serve tier or published price
- Custom retainers, scoping call required
Head to head
The split here is TikTok-first performance versus full social management. The Influencer Marketing Factory runs short-form creator campaigns wired to KPIs and tracked to revenue, an official TikTok partner. SociallyIn runs a brand's whole social presence with in-house content production, influencer included. One is measurable short-form reach. The other owns social end to end.
Pick by whether you want a TikTok-first ROI agency or a full social management agency. There is also a leaner discovery middle: 10M verified creators across four platforms with a fake-follower score on each, at one published price, where you pick the creators yourself.
