Influencer expands its integration of the YouTube Creator Partnerships API within Waves to deliver deeper insights and more effective creator partnerships

April 2, 2026
As an official global marketing partner of YouTube, Influencer was among the first partners approved to integrate the YouTube Creator Partnerships API into its proprietary technology platform, Waves.

As an global partner to YouTube, Influencer was among the first partners to integrate the YouTube Creator Partnerships API into its proprietary technology platform, Waves, in early 2025. We are now expanding this integration to further strengthen the data layer within Waves, providing direct access to deeper channel performance and audience insights to enable more informed and effective YouTube creator partnerships.


Building on our earlier integration, this enhances our ability to identify the right creators on the platform with greater precision, enabling more informed decisions around partnerships, investment and content strategy. By combining YouTube’s first-party data with Waves historical campaign delivery data and end-to-end campaign infrastructure, we are able to build a more complete view of creator performance and audience alignment from the outset.
As our API integration with YouTube continues to evolve, the YouTube Creator Partnerships API provides channel-level insights including audience demographics, interests and organic content performance, helping us better understand how creators resonate with their audiences beyond surface-level metrics. This supports more accurate creator selection based on relevance, audience fit and likelihood to deliver against campaign objectives.

Enhanced access to deeper platform-specific data also enables clearer visibility into which content is driving engagement, helping us identify high-performing posts and make more informed decisions about amplification. Organic and paid performance can also be evaluated side by side, providing a more transparent view of overall campaign impact.

Further embedding this capability directly into Waves also reduces manual data gathering and administrative complexity, enabling more streamlined workflows and faster campaign activation timelines. This allows us to move from planning to execution more efficiently, with greater confidence in the suitability of creator partnerships.

Key benefits include:

  • Direct access to channel-level insights including audience demographics and interests
  • Greater transparency into organic content performance
  • Ability to compare organic and paid performance side by side
  • More precise creator selection based on audience alignment and relevance
  • Stronger performance signals to support optimisation and amplification decisions
  • Faster campaign workflows through reduced manual data gathering
  • More confident, data-led investment decisions

As the creator marketing industry continues to mature, access to reliable first-party data is increasingly important in ensuring partnerships deliver measurable outcomes. This continued expansion of our YouTube Creator Partnerships API strengthens the intelligence layer within Waves, enabling brands to approach YouTube creator collaborations with greater confidence, more clarity, and speed.
