As a small, start up brand, Aspire IQ allows us to efficiently and effectively manage influencer relationships. The step by step influencer relationship management system is easy to use and is a great way to build an influential influencer network.

The search function is not great, you need to either have an exact account name, or YouTube sometimes requires a link to find the account vs the account name
