Following the acquisitions of Woomio in the Nordics and Inflead in Italy, this new chapter reinforces Kolsquare’s ambition to build the most powerful, responsible and innovative influencer marketing technology in Europe. By joining forces with Storyclash, we are bringing together two complementary European leaders with a shared vision for the future of influence.

“We are delighted to welcome Storyclash into the Kolsquare tribe,” says Quentin Bordage, Founder and CEO of Kolsquare. “We have been really impressed by the quality of their technology, their pioneering work in AI, and the strong customer base they have built in the DACH region. This acquisition is a major step in our mission to empower tomorrow’s brands with the superpowers of influence.”

Strengthening our European footprint

Storyclash is recognised as one of the leading influencer marketing technologies in the DACH region, supporting brands and agencies with advanced AI capabilities and a strong focus on performance and insights. With this acquisition, Kolsquare significantly strengthens its presence in German-speaking markets while continuing to expand its European footprint.

Together, Kolsquare and Storyclash now serve around 2,000 brands, agencies and public organisations across more than 30 countries, creating a truly European influencer marketing platform with global reach. This scale enables us to better support international strategies while staying anchored in European values such as transparency, sustainability and technological independence.

The acquisition also builds on Kolsquare’s recent growth trajectory across France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the UK and the Nordics, confirming its position as the leading influencer marketing technology in Europe.

Accelerating innovation with AI at the core

Artificial intelligence is reshaping influencer marketing, and Storyclash has been at the forefront of this evolution. Its AI-powered platform is known for helping teams discover authentic creators, measure campaign impact and centralise influencer marketing data in one place.

By combining Storyclash’s AI expertise with Kolsquare’s proprietary technology, we are accelerating the development of advanced capabilities across the full influencer marketing workflow. From smarter creator discovery and predictive insights to campaign optimisation and storytelling support, this integration sets a new standard for speed, precision and efficiency.

Our shared belief is clear: AI is not just a feature, it is the foundation of the next generation of influencer marketing.

Scaling Responsible Influence across Europe

As a certified B Corporation, Kolsquare has always believed that leadership comes with responsibility. Growth, innovation and ethics must go hand in hand.

This acquisition strengthens our ability to promote Responsible Influence at scale. Kolsquare already supports brands with dedicated features such as the Compliance Score, which helps identify creators who consistently respect advertising disclosure rules and ethical standards, as well as tools like the #InfluenceForGood filter and the Carbon Footprint Calculator.

With Storyclash’s strong presence in the DACH region, these standards and tools will reach a wider European audience. Together, we will help brands and agencies build fairer collaborations, protect trust with audiences and make influencer marketing a positive force for business and society.

A shared ambition for a European tech champion

In a digital landscape increasingly dominated by global platforms, this acquisition sends a clear signal. Europe can build its own technology champions, rooted in local markets but designed for international growth.

Storyclash Co-founder and CEO Andreas Gutzelnig highlights the opportunity ahead:

“We have built Storyclash into one of the industry’s leading SaaS influencer marketing providers in the DACH region through continuous innovation, especially in AI. Joining Kolsquare gives us the scale and backing to deliver even greater value to our customers across Europe and beyond.”

For Kolsquare, the vision is clear. As Quentin Bordage explains:

“This transaction strengthens our exposure in the DACH region and accelerates our ambition to build a European influencer marketing powerhouse. Together, we are shaping the future of influence with technology, responsibility and purpose at the core.”

What comes next

With Storyclash now part of the Kolsquare tribe, we are entering a new phase of growth. One defined by deeper innovation, stronger European reach and an unwavering commitment to Responsible Influence.

Together with Storyclash, Kolsquare is building the future of influencer marketing, proudly European, globally relevant and designed to last.

Welcome to the next chapter of European influence.
