About Vocal Media
Vocal Media is a young and fast-growing social impact influencer marketing agency. We build and activate powerful influencer networks across the top social platforms: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, and Discord. The creators we work with lead daily conversations with large audiences across social media. They post frequently on issues like racial justice, climate change, and economic inequality, but they also create engaging cultural content, engaging and educating their audiences on popular topics like health and wellness, beauty, fashion, sports, media, history, and everything in between. They work across every social media channel, particularly: Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, and Discord.
The Vocal Media team brings together talent from music promotion, tech, digital marketing, influencer marketing, and political organizing to support progressive campaigns. We work with multiple creator consultants, who split their time between campaign consulting and creating pop-culture and political content on social media platforms.
Across the board, our team members believe deeply in helping organizations effectively leverage influencer partnerships that maximize the impact of digital campaigns, expand reach into new communities, and bridge the gap between pop culture and social good.
