Bee Influence, which is being described as Manchester’s first dedicated influencer marketing agency, has opened a new office, following investment.

It was established earlier this year by Mark Dandy, who was part of the influencer marketing team at Social Chain; and Viv Yau, formerly of TBWA\Manchester and Gleam Futures (which manages Zoella, amongst others).

“We are so excited to be based in Manchester,” they said.

“Both being true Northerners, we realised there was an opportunity in the north West to offer clients the first dedicated marketing agency up here. Hence why we wanted to name the company after the city’s most iconic symbol.”

The agency has picked up clients including fashion brand, I Saw It First, Societe Noir and Ultimate Boxer.

According to Fame, Boohoo founder Jalal Kamani’s Robert Street Hub venture is a 50% shareholder in Bee Influence.
