Social media agency rebrands as the UK's first 'talent agency for entrepreneurs & business leaders'

There’s a new breed of influencers in entrepreneurs and business leaders, with ex-Social Chain Ash Jones becoming the first to tap into this space.

The Great Influence agency, founded by Ash Jones in 2018, initially started off as a social media agency helping entrepreneurs and marketers build personal brands on social media.

However Ash says, we don’t just build personal brands, we build careers out of entrepreneurs and business leaders now becoming highly influential people in modern society.

Steven Bartlett is evidence of that of which Ash Jones spent 4 years of his career at Social Chain building his influencer profile. His success has led him onto commercial deals with Huel, TV appearances, and now a dragon on the latest series of BBC’s Dragons Den.

Ash said since 2018, he has seen a rise in entrepreneurs and business leaders as influencers and brands working with them to make positive change and influence on consumers.

This has led to a fast-growth client base that has included Gary Neville, Matthew Syed, Sacha Lord, Jordan Brompton (myenergi), Katy Leeson (Social Chain), Debbie Wosskow OBE, Carrie Rose (Rise At Seven), Julian Hearn (Huel), Oliver Cookson (MyProtein), Alan Barratt (Grenade) to name a few.

The agency has expanded its operations, focusing, in addition to social media, on brand strategy, mass social content creation, data & insights, aligning with its clients ambitions to build their careers. Jones says they are “exclusively for best-in-class entrepreneurs and business leaders.”

Ash Jones, founder of Great Influence says: “We always had a bigger vision from day one of Great Influence. Seeing the rise of the likes of Steven Bartlett & Ben Francis, it’s clear that entrepreneurship is now a rapidly-growing part of popular culture in this country and business leaders are now building huge audiences and attracting interest in how they can develop their brands both online and offline.

“The industry is screaming out for a talent agency which not only helps entrepreneurs and business leaders build influence and careers out of it, but helps connect brands with them too.

“Rebranding as a Talent Agency that specialises in what entrepreneurs need and the considerations they have to bear in mind, combined with our deep experience in working with some of the leading entrepreneurs in the country, Great Influence is perfectly placed to give business leaders the support to capitalise on this opportunity, helping to become a trusted key driver for their brands, business ventures, and careers.”
