Takumi

A technology-driven influencer marketing platform positioned in the mid-market, known for curated creator quality and strong European presence, now backed by Samy Alliance's global agency network.

Takumi is an influencer marketing platform that connects brands with vetted social media creators, with a particular focus on Instagram. Founded in Iceland in 2015, Takumi built its reputation by offering a curated marketplace of influencers across multiple tiers — from nano and micro-influencers to larger creators — enabling brands to run authentic, data-driven influencer campaigns at scale. The platform provides end-to-end campaign management tools including creator discovery, brief distribution, content approval workflows, and performance analytics. Takumi expanded its operations across Europe and into the United States, establishing offices in London, New York, and Reykjavik. The company differentiated itself through a strong emphasis on creator quality, transparent pricing, and a technology-driven approach to matching brands with the most relevant influencers for their campaigns. Its client base spanned major consumer brands across fashion, beauty, food and beverage, and lifestyle sectors. In 2022, Takumi was acquired by Samy Alliance, a global social media and influencer marketing agency, as part of Samy's strategy to expand its technology capabilities and geographic footprint. Under Samy Alliance's ownership, Takumi continues to operate as a distinct platform brand, integrating its influencer marketplace technology with Samy's broader agency services and global network to offer clients a more comprehensive influencer marketing solution.
