# What influencer marketing costs in India, and why

> vexo.club is an influencer marketing company working with brands across India from Delhi NCR, and it does not publish prices. A campaign’s cost is set by five things — the creators, the formats, the usage rights, production and exclusivity — and a scoped quote follows the brief. What the company does publish is how that quote is built: creator fees as disclosed line items at rate-card prices, and a management fee on top as a fixed percentage, never a hidden margin inside talent costs.

To get a number for your brief, send the objective, market, timeline and a budget band at mail@vexo.club or on WhatsApp at +91 78276 16675. A shortlist with rate cards and a scoped plan comes back in 18 hours.

## The five things that move a quote.

1. **Creator** — Tier, niche, platform and language. Two creators with the same following can quote very differently; the audience fit decides which one the brief needs.
2. **Format** — A Reel, a Story set, a carousel, a YouTube integration, a dedicated video or Shorts. Each is its own deliverable in the contract.
3. **Usage rights** — Organic reposting, whitelisting and paid amplification are separate rights, each with its own window. They are agreed per deliverable, in writing, before the shoot.
4. **Production** — The creator’s own setup, or a studio shoot with scripts, edits and subtitles. Studio slots are typically 7–10 days out.
5. **Exclusivity** — Whether the creator may work with a competitor, in which category, and for how long. The longer and wider it is, the more it costs.

## How a vexo.club quote is laid out.

- **Creator fees** — One line per creator, at the creator’s rate-card price, disclosed.
- **Usage** — One line per right and per window.
- **Production** — Studio work, where the brief needs it, as its own line.
- **Management fee** — A fixed percentage on top, stated separately. There is no margin inside the talent costs.

## Three ways firms charge.

Influencer marketing firms in India usually charge in one of three ways: a monthly retainer, a percentage of the campaign budget, or a fee per campaign. Ask which one a quote uses, and ask for the creator fees as separate lines whatever the model — a single bundled figure hides the margin.

vexo.club quotes creator fees as line items and its own management fee as a fixed percentage on top. The pillars are sold separately, so a brand can buy production or paid media without the influencer side.

## Why there is no rate card on this page.

A published price decides the five variables for you before you have written a brief. Rates move with usage, dates and exclusivity, so a number on a page is either out of date or quietly assumes a deliverable you did not ask for. A scoped quote is the honest number, and the desk replies with one.

## Asked about cost.

### How much does influencer marketing cost in India?

It depends on five things — the creators, the formats, the usage rights, production and exclusivity — so this page publishes no prices. At vexo.club creator fees are disclosed line items at rate-card prices and the management fee sits on top as a fixed percentage. A scoped quote follows the brief, with a shortlist and rate cards in 18 hours.

### What is a management fee?

The agency’s own fee for running the campaign — shortlisting, contracting, briefing, approvals, reporting. At vexo.club it is a fixed percentage, stated on its own line, never folded into the creator fees.

### Is whitelisting charged separately?

Yes, wherever it is used. Running a creator’s post as a paid ad is a usage right, agreed per deliverable with its duration, in writing, before the shoot.

### Can we get an estimate without a brief?

Not from a calculator — there is none on this site. Two paragraphs of brief is enough for the desk to reply with a scoped plan: objective, budget band, market and timeline.

### Do you work to a fixed budget?

Yes. The brief names a budget band and the shortlist is built inside it. If the brief needs a leaner route than us, we will say so upfront.
