Our Story

Race Johnson and Gustav Lindell founded Pixly in 2017 to provide marketers with a better way to reach their target audiences outside of traditional acquisition channels. Fueled by in-depth prior experience in user acquisition and monetization, they recognized the pain points inherent in influencer marketing and the opportunity to place performance at the center of the equation. They built Pixly to be a full-service solution, a leading influencer marketing agency for brands that want to leverage Influencers across YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, TikTok and podcasts.
