Brands that want a fully intermediated, talent-agency model where creators are sourced, pitched, and contracted on the brand's behalf at no upfront cost

Dogfluence vs Fetching Talents
Fetching Talents acts as a talent intermediary — the agency manages creator relationships and deal negotiations on behalf of both sides. Dogfluence gives brands direct access to creators via a self-serve platform, with full data ownership and no intermediary in the loop.
Fetching Talents charges commission per deal, typically 15–25% of creator fee value — costs scale with every campaign activation. Dogfluence charges a flat subscription: Scout at $199/month or Scale at $399/month (14-day free trial), with an optional Personal Pack Leader add-on at $299/month on Scale. No per-deal commission, no negotiation overhead.
Dogfluence automates campaign performance through Brand Trail (automatic creator swapping when a creator underperforms) and Social Amplification (brand posts automatically matched with dog creators who engage and contribute). Fetching Talents relies on agent-managed outreach and deal facilitation — high-touch but manual with no platform-level automation.
Fetching Talents focuses on representing pet and dog influencer talent — the creator-side of the equation. Dogfluence is built for the brand side: all dog breeds, all lifestyles, with dog sizing data (neck girth, chest girth, body length) that enables precise product-to-dog matching no talent agency can replicate.
Dogfluence is self-serve and ready to launch within days of signup. Fetching Talents involves talent sourcing discussions, pitching, rate negotiation, and contract review before any content is created — timelines typically stretch to several weeks before first deliverables.
Built-in Instagram Amplification. No other platform has this.
When you publish an Instagram post as a dog brand, Dogfluence automatically matches it with dog creators who are likely to engage with it on Instagram. Their real comments, co-authoring, and storytelling dramatically boost your Instagram post performance — and compound your account health with every post you boost.
Traditional influencer platforms
- Your Instagram post reaches existing followers only — zero new reach
- Flat IG engagement — Instagram's algorithm sees no momentum
- No creator matching for your Instagram content
- Your Instagram account health stagnates between campaigns
With Dogfluence
- Your Instagram post is matched with suitable dog creators
- Creators comment and co-author on Instagram — real IG engagement from relevant profiles
- Every boost dramatically improves your Instagram post performance
- Continuous amplification compounds your Instagram account health over time
