We’re so proud to announce that Influencer’s co-founders Ben Jeffries and Caspar Lee have been chosen as finalists for the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ award!

EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ is a global programme that recognises entrepreneurial achievement among individuals and companies that demonstrate vision, leadership and success. It celebrates those who work to improve the quality of life in their communities, countries and around the world and we’re so proud to see Ben and Caspar listed. 

Ben and Caspar have led the Influencer team to navigate the constantly changing landscape with resilience. Early set-backs, including crisis and war, were met with empathy and courage. Their response to the pandemic was championing employee wellbeing, and in the wake of the war in Ukraine, they prioritised the safety and security of employees in their Kyiv office. 

Their pursuit of Influencer’s vision, to empower influence for good, extends beyond their services for clients and partners. This includes creating tools and long-term strategies that enable the influencer marketing sector to flourish and evolve, as well as pursuing the journey for Influencer to become B-corp certified, championing a responsible and ethical approach and attitude. Their vision is something they lead with, providing transparency and support through some of the world’s most testing times. This nomination is testament to that, as Ben and Caspar continue to lead the Influencer team to trailblaze change in the industry.
