Our Mission

Connecting brands to the voices that matter

Founded in New York City, An Up Star was created to bridge the gap between brands seeking authentic reach and the millions of passionate creators who genuinely love products. We automate the entire product seeding process — from influencer discovery to campaign reporting — so brands can scale word-of-mouth marketing without the manual overhead.

Our platform has helped hundreds of brands across beauty, wellness, fashion, tech, and food build thriving communities of micro-influencer advocates. We don't just run campaigns — we build lasting brand ecosystems.
