Founded in Paris in 2018 by CEO Quentin Bordage, Kolsquare quickly established itself as the top influencer marketing platform in Europe. Its innovative, data-driven solutions have helped brands enhance their marketing strategies through partnerships with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs). Today, the company employs over 50 experts and connects brands with influencers across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, and X (formerly Twitter) in 180 countries.

Kolsquare's platform stands out due to its comprehensive set of tools, including analytics and social listening modules. These enable marketing professionals to manage their influencer campaigns effectively, from outreach to performance benchmarking. The platform’s commitment to transparency and ethical collaboration as a Certified B Corporation has solidified its reputation as a leader in responsible influence marketing.

The acquisition by Team.blue marks a pivotal moment for both companies. Team.blue, which encompasses over 60 successful brands in web hosting, e-commerce, and lead generation, will now integrate Kolsquare’s expertise in influencer marketing into its extensive ecosystem. With over 30,000 agencies and 3.3 million SMB customers, team.blue offers a vast customer base that stands to benefit from Kolsquare’s platform, enabling more businesses to expand their digital presence.
