Purpose – We believe influence should be intentional. Our work centers on empowering brands to build partnerships that align with their values, amplify underrepresented voices, and create lasting impact beyond trends.
Connection – Influence isn’t about having the biggest audience—it’s about reaching the right one. We focus on genuine engagement and community-driven growth.
Impact – We focus on collaborations that contribute to culture, start meaningful conversations, and promote positive change. By elevating brands and creators that challenge the status quo, we help shape a more inclusive, purpose-driven influencer landscape.
Integrity – Every partnership should be built on mutual respect, clear expectations, and a shared commitment to great work. We champion ethical, purpose-driven influencer marketing—ensuring brands and creators work together in a way that feels aligned, fair, and rewarding.
Who we work with
We partner with personal brands and businesses that want to lead with clarity and grow with purpose, whether through intentional influencer programs, strategic brand positioning, or both.
Our focus is on supporting women-owned brands and underrepresented voices who are ready to shape culture, connect meaningfully with their audience, and build lasting impact.
You don’t need a huge audience or a full marketing team. You need a thoughtful strategy, a clear point of view, and the right partners to bring it to life. That’s where we come in.
Meet the Founder
I’m Sarah Walsh, founder of Next Era Influence and someone who’s spent over a decade in marketing asking: What if we did this differently?
After years of watching brands chase trends, throw money at the wrong partnerships, and call it strategy, I knew there had to be a smarter way. So I built it. Next Era Influence exists to help brands and public figures grow their influence on purpose—with clear positioning, community-first thinking, and the kind of strategy that doesn’t just get attention but actually earns trust.
I’ve led campaigns that have won awards, but what lights me up most is helping clients feel grounded in their vision and confident in their next step. Whether you’re launching your first influencer program or scaling a personal brand, I’m here to help you cut through the noise and do work that actually resonates.
Because in this era? Influence should mean something.
Our Extended Network
While we lead strategy and client partnerships in-house, we don’t believe in doing everything solo. We’ve built a trusted network of creative and strategic partners we bring in when needed—experts in copywriting, design, podcast production, PR, and more.
This extended team allows us to offer comprehensive support without losing the intentional, high-touch approach we’re known for. Every collaborator is handpicked to align with your goals, ensuring your vision is executed with care, clarity, and impact.
