Billion Dollar Boy helps brands and agencies reach targeted audiences through influencer marketing,[7] such as its promotion with Stuggy for StudioCanal. They consider a number of factors when matching the right influencer to the right brief, for example considering an influencers' tone of voice and creative aesthetic[8]
