KOLSQUARE MISSION

Kolsquare is a Benefit Company, certified B-Corp in 2024.

Kolsquare exists to help you reach your greatest potential. And positively impact the world.

Influencer Marketing is today described as a revolution, a 30B$ market that is a major transformation in the media and digital world. It has also become a real gold mine, creating high hopes but also bringing its share of myths and legends. Everyone knows it works and can have an amazing impact on brand awareness or customer acquisition, but not everyone knows exactly how to do it. At Kolsquare, we firmly believe in this new media and are convinced that it's the best way for ideas, people and organisations to grow and reach their greatest potential. We also believe that it's a great way to create positive impacts for a better world. Our mission is therefore to give everyone access to the power of KOL Marketing.
