Sideqik review

An integrated influencer and creator marketing platform for discovery, campaign management, and performance analytics, now being merged into GameSquare's Hatchet brand. Best for brands and agencies, especially gaming and CPG, running larger-scale creator discovery and campaigns. Starts at Custom (demo required).

Acquired by Engine Media Holdings in 2021, parent later became GameSquare Holdings. In Sept 2025 GameSquare announced folding Sideqik into its Stream Hatchet unit under a combined "Hatchet" brand; sideqik.com still resolves live as of Sept 2026.
