About us
Lasting Value In A Noisy Space. We believe creating mutually beneficial relationships between brands and influencers creates true lifetime value for all involved (brand, blogger & consumer), and we believe creating this relationship & value should not be difficult or expensive. Word of mouth marketing has always existed as the most powerful form of marketing, but few people have blogger, agency and retailer experience with digital influencers. Our experience gives you a clear advantage over your competition. The “relationship first” approach matters because good influencers get 5 brand pitches per day, most of which never get opened. However, our recent campaigns have closer to a 90% opt-in rate, which means influencers not only opened our pitches, but they thought it was worth their time, creativity & platform. The data behind Acorn curation is important because there are 31 million blogs in the US alone, which makes knowing who is actually influential a time-monopolizing and daunting task without tools to help. Who We Are Our team is made up of innovators, most of whom have also been bloggers. We come from Acumen Brands / CountryOutfitter.com, StaffMark, Maybelline, Rockfish and more. Each scaling those businesses using our unique ability to leverage opportunities both on and offline. What We Do We create and manage influencer marketing campaigns based on real relationships with data-vetted influencers who are insanely relevant to your brand and project. We always to start with your goals, understanding your business and then getting a baseline of what success might look like. Then we curate the right mix of influencers. Whether that means creating new relationships or tapping into our existing ones. We measure actual influence based on proprietary data. This means we know what metrics are real, what influencers are legitimate and who creates quality content in an authentic voice.

At Acorn and New Engen, Inc., we believe in celebrating diversity and inclusivity and creating safe spaces for all individuals. As Pride Month comes to a close, we want to share our support and belief in the importance of recognizing and honoring the LGBTQIA community and our employees. We aim to actively continue fostering a culture of acceptance, respect, and equality where everyone can let their authentic selves shine. 🌈 During our June DEIB & Culture All Hands, we gathered to celebrate, learn, and connect on the true spirit of Pride. It was a time of sharing personal stories, discussing meaningful allyship, exploring ways to celebrate and get involved, and delving into the rich history of Pride that has shaped this vibrant community. In previous discussions, we’ve covered the history of queerness, the importance of education around marriage equality, gender-affirming care, queer history, and celebrated traditions. We also addressed the extensive challenges currently unfolding due to the impact of anti-LGBTQIA bills and the risks they pose to progress and everyday life. We also emphasized the importance of intersectionality in understanding and supporting the diverse experiences within the LGBTQIA community. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who contributed their personal stories and experiences helping us deepen our understanding of the importance of creating safe spaces for ourselves and our loved ones and continued support for LGBTQIA rights, history, allyship, and safety all year round. Our presentation would not be complete without polling what some of our teams are currently loving: ❤️ the anticipation of Lady Gaga's new album 🧡 #ChappellRoan 💛 Barry's fitness 💚 Indoor plants (IYKYK) 💙 Jojo Siwa 💜 WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) 🤎 Iced coffee (again, IYKYK) 🖤 The tennis movie "Challengers" 🤍 Troye Sivan As we wrap up Pride Month, we invite you to join the conversation and share how you celebrated or what Pride means to you in the comments below. 💬 #PrideMonth #LGBTQIA #DiversityandInclusion #Equality #Allyship #Pride2024
