About
Klear (now operating as Meltwater Influencer Marketing) is a comprehensive, AI-driven influencer marketing platform designed for brands and marketing teams looking to scale their creator partnerships efficiently. The platform covers every stage of the influencer lifecycle—from discovery and vetting to campaign execution, payment processing, and ROI reporting—all within a unified workspace. At its core, Klear leverages brand-specific AI to surface influencers whose audience quality, content style, and values align with your campaign goals. An AI-powered Chrome Extension lets marketers instantly vet creators while browsing Instagram and TikTok natively. Personalized AI outreach tools craft tailored emails at scale, while built-in contracts and workflow automation eliminate manual, repetitive tasks. For campaign management, teams benefit from a shared inbox for influencer communications, contract storage, deliverable tracking, and an automated payment system that reduces administrative overhead. Real-time dashboards provide creator-level reporting, e-commerce conversion tracking (via Shopify, WooCommerce, and other integrations), and shareable insights that keep stakeholders aligned. Klear is ideal for enterprise marketing teams, agencies, and brands running large-scale influencer programs who need a single source of truth for influencer data, campaign performance, and ROI justification. Its AI recommendations surface top-performing creators the moment users log in, making it easier to build high-impact partnerships and continuously improve results.
