10+ years of experience
I’ve worked in influencer marketing for over 10 years. I know what happens when the creator choice or the brief gets underestimated, so you don’t have to test it on your own campaign.
Independent influencer marketing specialist
For over 10 years I’ve been helping brands get more out of influencer marketing. I choose the creators for you, set the strategy and take the campaign from brief to evaluation. You get higher sales, brand awareness and authentic content, with minimal effort.

I’ve worked in influencer marketing for over 10 years. I know what happens when the creator choice or the brief gets underestimated, so you don’t have to test it on your own campaign.
Campaigns for banks, e-shops, food brands and research institutions. Each one taught me what works and what doesn’t.
You write to me, I reply. Things move fast and nothing gets lost along the way.
I label partnerships as ads and expect creators to do the same. I helped create the Férový influencer code of ethics.
I consult for creators as well, so I know how they think, what they charge and where there’s room to negotiate.

I’ve spoken at Czech Online Expo, VŠEM, E-commerce Day and Noc content marketingu, among others. This is how the audience rated my talk at Czech Online Expo 2025 (reviews in Czech).

What you’ll learn
Férový influencer
When a brand pays a creator for a video, it’s an ad, and people have the right to know. That’s why, together with colleagues from the industry, I helped create the Férový influencer (Fair Influencer) code of ethics, which more than 215 companies, agencies and creators have joined.

Clearly and right at the start, not as a hashtag at the end of the caption.
Extra care where children are among the followers.
The creator should actually know the product. Followers spot forced enthusiasm first.
One hidden video can make money. Several years of fair partnership make more.
Testimonials
If I had to pick someone for my team to be responsible for influencer marketing, Ivo would be number one on my list.
Ivo MrenaCMO, ShoptetTranslated from SlovakTogether with Ivo, we started building influencer and ambassador marketing, which had not been part of our communication mix before. We focused on personalities who share the values of the Mandimu brand and of its customers, aiming for strong reach as well as measurable performance results. Both worked out very well, so we are now planning to expand significantly in this direction and in our cooperation. I can definitely recommend working with Mr Veselý.
Igor KirbikHead of Marketing, MandimuTranslated from CzechI had the honour of working with Ivo on influencer marketing for Košík.cz. Thanks to his smart strategies and meticulous work with influencers, we achieved great results — whether in awareness, engagement or traffic. He knows the market inside out and can pick the ideal influencers based on reach, audience engagement and relevance to the brand.
Aneta JiříkováSocial media specialist, KošíkTranslated from CzechWorking with Ivo has been very valuable for us over the long term thanks to a combination of a human approach, high professionalism and a real understanding of influencer marketing – he can clearly define goals, strategically select influencers based on them and set up partnerships so that they deliver measurable and meaningful results. At the same time he is extremely reliable, responsible and thorough, and always delivers everything we agree on. He works as a natural extension of our team. I recommend him without hesitation.
Aneta JiříkováBezedná miskaTranslated from CzechI worked with Ivo on an influencer campaign for Bezva vlasy and was very happy with both the process and the overall results. I particularly appreciate his professional approach and pleasant communication. He knows the field very well — I really liked his selection of suitable influencers, including a complete analysis of each and a clear argument for why to choose them. The campaign had great results; thank you for the opportunity, and I look forward to working with him on future campaigns.
Tereza HrbekMarketing Manager, Bezva vlasyTranslated from CzechWhether you are just starting with influencer marketing or you are a bigger company or agency that wants to validate how to set up and manage influencer partnerships effectively, I definitely recommend a consultation with Ivo. It is clear he has experience from several angles and can think things through as a whole. Recommended!
Vít JandaCEO, ShortProTranslated from CzechI have been working with Ivo for several years and I truly value his knowledge of influencer marketing. Together we have prepared several campaigns that brought us and our client not only the satisfaction of a job well done, but also tangible business results.
Tatiana TerpákováClient Service Director, ShrtCut StudioTranslated from SlovakI have worked with Ivo three times now and it has always been a very pleasant collaboration. From the start of the project he was proactive, helpful and came up with interesting ideas. I could rely on him one hundred percent — both to meet deadlines and to move the project forward again. I look forward to coming up with something interesting together again.
Lenka HeroldováMarketing manager, Akademie věd ČRTranslated from CzechIvo handled influencer partnerships for UGO. He was involved in selecting creators, coordinating campaigns and evaluating them afterwards. The cooperation was always professional and in line with the agreed brief.
Adéla DoležalováDigital Specialist, UGOTranslated from CzechThe influencer marketing training Ivo prepared was full of interesting information. At the agency, we liked that the presentation included charts and numbers we can draw on when talking to clients. We can’t wait to put what we learned into practice. Thank you!
Natálie TimčemkováDigital Marketer, BestetoTranslated from CzechThe workshop with Ivo fully met my expectations. My head was full of questions and I needed a complete, practical guide to approaching influencer partnerships. I got answers to all of them and a clear overview of how to approach influencer marketing: how to set goals, how to evaluate a partnership, how to choose influencers, how to put the right contract in place and what to watch out for.
Tereza SoukupováFreelance Social Media ManagerTranslated from CzechI have been working with Ivo for several years, and I would say what makes him exceptional is that, besides complete professionalism, he brings a human approach to his work. Working with him is always a pleasure!
Gabriela DorantováCEO, Casting DorantováTranslated from CzechWe work with Ivo to support the Nocleženka project. I think we clicked from the very first moment, and I believe our cooperation has done — and will do — a lot of good. I personally value anyone who cares about what is happening around them and is not afraid to point out problems and also lend a hand. Thank you for the cooperation and for your approach, Ivo.

About
I started my journey in influencer marketing in 2015. Since then, my experience has been shaped both by agency work and by working on the client side. That’s why I understand the needs of brands and marketing teams, and I know what matters to creators so that a partnership works for everyone involved.
I love the creator economy and how content, audiences and business results connect. In my free time I create travel content at @ivocestuje (opens in a new tab). It lets me try filming, editing, content creation and the latest social media features in practice.
My own experience helps me better understand creators’ work, their possibilities and challenges. That lets me recommend solutions to brands that make sense not just on paper, but in practice.

FAQ
Answers to the questions we usually discuss before working together, from budget and creator selection to measuring results.
Working together
Just tell me which brand you represent, what you want to achieve and what you’re dealing with right now. On an intro call we’ll clarify goals, target audience, budget and timing. Then I’ll propose next steps, scope and budget. You don’t need everything ready; I’ll help you refine the brief.
It depends on the goal and scope of the campaign, the number and type of creators, content formats, length of the partnership, production and rights to reuse the content. Once the brief is clear, I’ll prepare a budget that shows exactly what you’re paying for. A universal price list would be misleading, because every campaign has different needs.
Not necessarily. What matters is matching the budget to the goal and not wasting money on the wrong profiles. Depending on your options, we can start with a smaller pilot campaign, a narrower selection of creators or a strategy consultation. If the budget doesn’t match the expected goal, I’ll tell you openly.
Brands and e-shops of various sizes, from smaller companies to established businesses. Working together makes sense when we know who you want to reach and what you want to achieve. I also help marketing teams and agencies that need an external specialist.
You deal directly with me, the person who prepares the strategy and actually runs the campaign. You don’t have to pass information through several people, and decisions don’t wait on another middleman. You get direct communication, a personal approach and continuity from the brief to the evaluation.
Yes. A long-term partnership lets us build relationships with relevant creators, test different formats and gradually improve results. We can set up ongoing campaigns or long-term ambassadorships, or start with a one-off campaign and decide what’s next based on the results.
Yes. Besides the Czech Republic, I have experience working with influencers in Slovakia, Poland, Germany, Austria, Romania, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, the UK and the USA, among others. I adapt the creator selection, brief and communication to the local audience and the brand’s goals. Depending on the project, we can cover several markets at once or each separately.
Campaigns
Everything from strategy and goal setting, finding and reaching out to creators, negotiating terms and preparing the brief, to contracts, coordination, content approval and evaluation. We agree on the scope in advance. I can run the whole campaign or step in only for the part you need help with.
I start with the campaign goal and the audience you want to reach. I look at content relevance, audience composition, quality of engagement, credibility, previous partnerships, price and fit with the brand’s values. Follower count is just one indicator, not the main criterion. For every recommended profile, I explain why it makes sense.
Before launch, we set the goals and metrics we’ll use to judge success. For awareness we track reach and views, for interest engagement and traffic, and for sales conversions, revenue or discount code usage. After the campaign you get an overview of the results and recommendations for next steps.
A specific number of sales can’t be responsibly guaranteed in advance. The result depends not only on the creators and the campaign itself, but also on the offer, price, website, stock and timing. Together we’ll set realistic goals, track the available data and honestly evaluate what worked and what needs improving.
Yes. We set the requirements, key messages and approval process in the brief. You review the content before it’s published to make sure it matches the brief and the brand’s values. At the same time, we leave creators room for their natural voice, so the content doesn’t feel like a regular ad.
Yes. We clarify and contractually agree on price, deliverables, deadlines, any exclusivity and the scope of content usage rights. We also agree where and for how long the brand may use the materials and whether it can boost them with paid ads. Correct labelling of the commercial partnership is part of the preparation, too.
It depends on the number of creators, content formats, availability, approvals and other requirements. Once the brief is clear, I’ll prepare a timeline with key dates and responsibilities. I recommend starting well in advance, especially for seasonal campaigns, events and multi-market partnerships.
Training & consulting
Yes. I run training sessions and workshops for marketing teams and agencies. We cover everything from the basics of working with influencers through strategy, creator selection and brief writing to negotiation and campaign evaluation. I tailor the content to the team’s experience and the topics you need to tackle right now.
Yes. First we clarify what the team already knows and where it wants to grow. We can work with your real campaigns and focus on topics you’ll use in everyday practice. The goal isn’t a generic presentation, but concrete knowledge and processes you can apply in your work.
Yes, you don’t have to order the full campaign. I’ll go through the available materials, brief, creator selection, content and results. I’ll help you name what worked, where the gaps are and what I’d change next time. You’ll leave with concrete recommendations for planning your next steps.
Yes. We can discuss a specific campaign, strategy, budget, creator selection, negotiation or measuring results. We agree on the topic and expected outcome in advance, so you leave with concrete recommendations you can put to use right away.
Yes. I consult with creators on topics such as pricing their content, contracts, content rights and negotiating terms with brands. The goal is to set up partnerships professionally, transparently and fairly for both sides.
Yes. I’ve spoken at Czech Online Expo, VŠEM, E-commerce Day and Noc content marketingu, among others. I tailor each talk to the audience and focus of the event, whether it’s marketers, e-shops or students.
Every week I send out the Ekonomika tvůrců newsletter with social media news, market data and real-world examples. I also co-authored the book (NE)JSEM INFLUENCER, and on the Kurzeo platform you’ll find the course Právo v influencer marketingu (in Czech).
