Marketing intelligence for fashion & apparel brands
Fashion runs more creator campaigns than any other category in India, on the shortest cycles, with the least measurement. Volume makes vetting and attribution matter more here than anywhere else, not less.
What makes fashion and apparel brands different
Campaign volume outruns diligence
Brands running dozens of creators a month cannot vet each one by hand, so they fall back on follower count — the number most likely to be bought.
Returns quietly delete the ROI
Apparel return rates mean a campaign that looks profitable on order value can be unprofitable on delivered revenue. Attribution that stops at checkout misses it.
Discovery is drifting to assistants
Occasion and fit questions — what to wear, which brand for a body type — are increasingly asked of an assistant, and answered with a handful of brand names.
These questions are being answered without you

Three agents, three separate jobs
Vetting that keeps up with the volume
At fashion’s campaign cadence, vetting has to be a step in the workflow rather than a project.
- Filter by audience quality, niche and brand match before shortlisting
- Forecast return per creator before the brief goes out
- Attribute to the product, so returns land against the right campaign
Get named for the occasion, not just the keyword
Assistants answer "what should I wear to" questions with brands, and that is a surface no keyword tool measures.
- Track occasion and category prompts across five engines daily
- Competitor share of voice on the same prompts
- Citation sources, so you can see if marketplaces are answering for you

Common questions
How should fashion brands account for returns in influencer ROI?
Measure delivered revenue, not order value, and give it time. Apparel returns land two to four weeks after purchase, so a campaign assessed at day seven will always look better than it was. The practical approach is to attribute at the product level, hold the measurement window open past the return window, and compare creators on net revenue per rupee spent. Creators who drive impulse orders and creators who drive considered purchases look identical at checkout and very different a month later.
