Set to launch in September, a new platform called Speaky is making waves by offering a more personal and authentic way for influencers to connect with their followers.
Speaky provides a space for real-time, engaging conversations via video chatting. This service enables consumers to choose 5, 15, or 30-minute one-on-one sessions with their favorite influencers and celebrities. The platform caters to a diverse range of interests, with over 1,000 pre-registered talent and a collective following exceeding 70 million fans, Speaky is positioned for a successful launch.
"I've always been eager to find new ways to connect with my followers," said fitness model, Mariana Morais. “Speaky seemed like the ideal platform to get to know my audience in a way that feels fresh and authentic.”
Social media star, Alexa Collins, echoed this sentiment, noting, "As social media evolves, fans want more than just likes and comments; they want real, engaging conversations." Speaky's focus on ethical monetization ensures that influencers can earn in a way that aligns with their values. "The one-on-one aspect is just so different from what else is out there," said KT Lordahl, one of Speaky's top ambassadors.
Social media sensation, Virginia Sanhouse, voiced a similar perspective, "I’m excited to speak directly with my fans for a change.”
As Speaky's official launch approaches, the platform aims to redefine the nature of influencer-fan interactions. It offers a refreshing alternative to traditional social media experiences.
“On Speaky, I can have real conversations and be myself, which I think will resonate more and make a bigger impact," said digital creator, Lauren Blake. With its innovative approach, Speaky is poised to become a leader in facilitating genuine, interactive connections in the digital age.
