Creative-led social and influencer marketing agency.

Transforming beauty, lifestyle & FMCG brands into Cultural Icons.

Campfire is a creative-led influencer marketing agency based in Manchester, working with beauty, lifestyle and FMCG brands. Every campaign starts with an idea built for the way your audience actually scrolls. We make it with creators they already trust, and our own Cultural Intelligence Suite tells us when the moment is coming, so the work lands while people are still talking about it.

Trusted by leading brands that take social seriously

Creator campaigns people actually want to watch

The best creator content doesn't feel like an ad, which is exactly why people pass it on. When we turned Vaseline's holiday lip balms into a blind-box collectible, creators filmed the unboxing because they wanted to, and Target sold $10M of them in eight weeks. When we took 12 creators skiing in Morzine for Vaseline GlutaHya, 311 of their 334 posts were ones nobody paid for. Here's a selection of what we've made for beauty, lifestyle and FMCG brands.

Vaseline: The ski trip that made GlutaHya Lip the It Girl winter essential.

Vaseline: The lip balm Gen Z couldn’t stop collecting.

Vaseline: An Ibiza girls’ trip that kept the Gluta-Hya glow going.

ELEMIS: How sample sizes sold a new generation on TikTok.

Quorn: A festive table worth swapping the meat for.

Nioxin: Real conversations about hair loss, with real people.

Quorn: Making Nacho Nuggs the crunch every family craved.

We live where your audience lives

For a lot of your customers, the path to purchase no longer starts on Google or in a supermarket aisle. It starts on a For You page, picks up speed in creator reviews and comment sections, and often ends at a TikTok Shop or Amazon checkout. Our teams cover every step of that journey, from the first creator post to the paid ad that follows it and the shop listing it lands on.

Stop chasing culture

Start leading it.

The Cultural Intelligence Suite (CIS) is Campfire's own set of four tools for predicting, planning, activating and measuring social campaigns. Our strategists use it to spot conversations before they peak, plan launches around them, find the right creators and show what the work actually did for the brand. Clients can use it too, as part of a campaign or on its own.

01 PREDICTION

Spark spots the conversations your audience is starting to have before they reach the mainstream, so your plan is ready before the moment arrives.

02 PLANNING

Compass is a brand calendar that stays current. It layers your launches and retail dates over search trends and the cultural moments coming up.

03 ACTIVATION

Creator Lab finds, briefs and manages creators from 85 million profiles, and forecasts how each one is likely to perform before you commit budget.

04 IMPACT

Your social media focus group, connecting sentiment to business impact.

One integrated team. One Growth OS.

Creative Strategy & Insights

The idea, the audience insight behind it and the plan to make it happen, built on what Spark and Compass are seeing. This is where our best campaigns start.

Beauty, lifestyle and FMCG specialists (and chronically online, by design)

Campfire is a team of 60+ people who specialise in beauty, lifestyle and FMCG. The person running your account already knows your category, the retailers you sell through and the creators your customers follow, because they spend their days on the same feeds. We've been building brands on social since 2019, and we care as much about what the work sells as how it looks.

We initially came to Campfire to support one of our key campaign moments in 2023 which spanned Influencer and Paid Social. Six campaigns later and we are still working with the same (just extended team), to deliver unbelievable results, going above and beyond to push KPI's and learnings even further. Campfire consistently add value through innovation and delivery from their strategic approach through to their platform and channel knowledge to translate our brand messages into social first content formats.
