SuperFan is a new-age media company looking to bridge the gaps between influencers, brands and fans. The company aggregates data from Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Facebook using their proprietary technology and show users their passionate, influential and casual fans that can be filtered by location, gender, interests and keywords.

Brands can also use the tool to mobilize marketing campaigns like local events, influencer content, prize giveaways, and targeted advertising. SuperFan is a SaaS product for brands and offers a premium version to influencers who want to gain additional privileges like having their top fans compiled and exported to them in a CSV file. 

SuperFan’s advisory board includes industry rockstars like Ryan Holmes (CEO, Hootsuite), Brandon Steiner (CEO, Steiner Sports), Michael Hyatt (Executive Chairman, BlueCat Networks), Carrick Felix (former NBA player), Karen O’Brien (Vice President of Global Social Media, Western Union), Eliot Robinson (CEO, Dunk), Mark Zablow (CEO, Cogent Marketing), and Trevor Booker (Power Forward, Brooklyn Nets & Partner, JB Fitzgerald Venture Capital).
