Brand verification
Is a sponsorship email from Aspire legit?
Aspire does sponsor creators, which is exactly why scammers wear its name. Here is how the real thing looks, and how to tell the difference in one minute.
The real domains
Real Aspire outreach comes from these registered domains (or their subdomains):
A different ending (like .co instead of .com), extra words (like -collab or -media), or a free mail address are the three most common impersonation moves.
How real Aspire deals work
Aspire (formerly AspireIQ) is a creator marketing platform; brand collaboration invites come from aspire.io.
This is a real influencer marketing agency: it brokers deals for many brands. Real agency outreach names the brand, the deliverable, and the budget, and the agency itself is verifiable: a real site, real employees on LinkedIn, and campaigns other creators can vouch for.
