Our Story

Lifelong friends Motez and Jamie quit their day jobs and dived headfirst into Buttermilk in 2016. In influencer agency years, that makes us something of a veteran force.

A dream born in Krispy Kreme

The vision was to establish an agency that would provide strategic direction to an industry still in its infancy. Motez was no stranger to the start-up. Jamie was a legal eagle turned marketeer. They both recognised that influencer marketing had legs — long ones.

Why Krispy Kreme? Reliable WiFi. Not the best coffee, but enough to fuel ambitions.

coffee later

We landed our first clients. They were start-ups too. Big ambitions, small budgets.

We saw influencer campaigns rooted in tired and confused commercial strategies. Conventional thinking applied to a new phenomenon that was anything but. We didn’t like the path everyone was walking on, so we went on our own.

From Kreme to Buttermilk

The Krispy Kreme doors closed, and our central London office doors swung open. Instead of posters on the wall, there were awards. Eleven of them.

From racking our brains over lean budgets to curating the largest influencer campaigns in the world, Buttermilk was breathing life and social relevance into a stale marketing space.

The Creator Agency

Buttermilk has written the playbook for influencer marketing, and it's an ever-expanding volume.

As the world gets smaller, social gets bigger. With offices from London to Miami and Dubai, we're here to service the globe.

Our vision? To be rightfully recognised as the authority on influencer marketing.
