Captiv8

Publicis-owned end-to-end influencer platform integrated with Influential

Overview

Captiv8 is an influencer marketing platform acquired by Publicis Groupe, announced on 21 May 2025; the price was not disclosed[21]. Publicis said Captiv8 would sit within Publicis Connected Media and be integrated with Influential, the group’s existing influencer business, with Captiv8 co-founder and chief executive Krishna Subramanian remaining in post[21]. At the time of the deal Captiv8 reported a network of 15 million creators, operations in 120 countries and processing of more than 2.5 billion social posts a year[21]. Its website now carries a banner stating it has been integrated into Influential[20].

The product spans an influencer marketing suite (social insights, discovery, workflow, amplification and measurement), creator commerce (branded storefronts, a TikTok Shop partnership, affiliate tools and commerce integrations) and creator-side portals for creators and talent managers[20]. Paid media amplification and payments are offered as separate solutions[20].

Captiv8’s ownership by a holding company makes it a natural fit for brands that already buy media through Publicis agencies, while independent buyers may weigh that relationship. Pricing is not published[20].
