INFLOW Network has put creators first since 2016.

Awards, and creators who sell.

INFLOW won 20 MENA Stevie Awards, among them the Grand Stevie and a Gold for Most Innovative Agency of the Year. Digiday Awards Europe named the Influencer Cup on the Bosphorus Best Event of the Year. For Trendyol, creators ran affiliate campaigns and earned on the sales they drove.

A football final in Istanbul.

In March, creators at the Global Summit in Antalya worked on ideas with Turkish Airlines for the football final coming to Istanbul. For the final itself, INFLOW and Turkish Airlines put 20 creators on a boat between Asia and Europe for the Influencer Cup on the Bosphorus. The project won a Felis Award that year and the Grand Stevie in 2024.

Host agency of the World Cup.

The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy appointed four official agencies for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and INFLOW was the host agency. In Doha, INFLOW also brought 28 football creators to Stadium 974 for The Influencer World Cup. In June, nine creators spent the Formula 1 weekend in Baku.

Antalya again.

INFLOW went back to Antalya with 73 creators from 25 countries for Dream to Reality. Turkish Airlines and Istanbul Airport sponsored the summit for a second year, and brands joined industry speakers at a conference on influencer marketing.

The year travel stopped.

In the first year of the pandemic, INFLOW still brought creators from 23 countries to Antalya for Rise & Shine, and some speakers joined remotely. The INFLOW Awards moved online, INFLOW’s first digital event, with awards in 26 categories for creators, agencies and brands.

Cities start calling.

Paris invited INFLOW after the yellow vest protests hit hotel bookings, and 10 creators showed travelers a less familiar side of the city. INFLOW returned to Doha for a second Qatar Summit, run alongside the Qatar International Food Festival. In Istanbul, it joined the Global Summit and the INFLOW Awards into one event for the first time.

Doha, and awards of its own.

INFLOW took its summit abroad for the first time, to The Ritz-Carlton in Doha for the first Qatar Summit. A meet-up in Lucerne brought creators to a Swiss resort, and INFLOW started the INFLOW Awards, where an independent jury picks the year’s best influencer marketing by creators, agencies and brands.

The first Global Summit.

In April, the Travel Summit brought travel creators and brands to Istanbul, and 15 creators spent three days showing the lesser-known side of Italy’s Veneto region. In December, INFLOW held its first Global Summit, with brand meetings arranged through INFLOW Bridge, its own platform for matching creators and brands.

Influencers of the World.

INFLOW, short for Influencers of the World, started in May 2016 to bring creators and brands together. Its first gathering came that November: 30 creators spent six days in Istanbul and Cappadocia, backed by Turkish Airlines.
