THE AGENCY

Astonor is a specialist influencer marketing agency operating exclusively in the automotive space. We work with automotive brands, products, services, and businesses — connecting them with vetted creators who have genuine, engaged automotive audiences.

Our focus is singular. Every campaign is built on a structured methodology, clearly defined briefs, and transparent reporting — from first conversation to final post-campaign document.

The automotive influencer space is noisy. Most campaigns fail not from lack of reach, but from lack of fit — wrong creators, wrong content format, wrong audience for the product.

We solve this through process. Creator selection is driven by audience relevance, not subscriber count. Campaigns are structured around your objective, not our convenience. Results are reported clearly, without spin.

FAQ

QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING BEFORE YOU REACH OUT.

We'd rather address objections here than waste your time in a first conversation.

We evaluate creators on audience authenticity, content quality, brand safety, and niche relevance. Follower count is not the primary signal — audience fit is. We do not recommend a creator for a campaign unless we're confident the audience is the right one for your product.
In most cases the issue is creator mismatch, the wrong content format for the platform, or an unclear campaign brief. Walk us through what was done and we'll give you an honest read on what could be improved. The Pilot Campaign option exists precisely for situations like this — low cost, real data, no long commitment.
Pilot campaigns start from $3k – $7k. Project-based campaigns run $7k – $15k. Ongoing partnerships are scoped from $15k and above. All costs — including creator fees — are discussed clearly before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden fees.
No. Automotive is our only focus. That means every creator in our network, every brief we write, and every campaign structure we recommend is built for automotive audiences specifically. If your brand operates in the automotive space — products, services, technology, businesses — we can help.
A well-briefed campaign can typically be live within 3–4 weeks. Timeline depends on the number of creators involved and brief alignment. We'll give you a realistic estimate after the first conversation — not a number designed to close you.
Yes. We work with automotive brands across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and other markets. Our creator network includes creators with audiences in these regions. If you have a specific geographic target, let us know and we'll tell you honestly what our coverage looks like.

ABOUT
A SPECIALIST AGENCY
BUILT WITH INTENTION.

Focused entirely on automotive. Structured around process. Committed to honest communication.

THE AGENCY

Astonor was built because automotive influencer marketing deserves dedicated focus. Most agencies treat automotive as one vertical among many. We think the category requires specialist knowledge — of the audience, the creators, the content formats, and the purchase psychology of automotive buyers.

Our work is structured around a consistent methodology. Every campaign follows the same four-phase process. Every creator is evaluated against the same criteria. Every report tells you what happened, clearly.

We operate with a simple principle: credibility comes from process, not promises. We don't make claims we can't support. We don't recommend creators we haven't vetted. We don't report outcomes in ways designed to look better than they are.

Our focus is automotive — products, services, technology, businesses. If your brand operates in this space, we can run a campaign that reaches the right audience through creators who genuinely belong in that conversation.

We only work in automotive. That focus means we understand the audience, the creators, and the content formats that perform — better than any generalist agency can.

03
CAMPAIGN DISCIPLINE

Every campaign is designed with clear creator briefs, platform-specific content formats, and post-campaign analysis. Structured work produces consistent results.
