Why Work With WAYA? Because we’re not just curating culture—we’re shaping it. WAYA is more than a directory or app… it’s a full-scale lifestyle media and marketing platform built for businesses that want to be seen, loved, and remembered. We blend the strategy of billion-dollar corporations with the heart and authenticity of your favorite neighborhood gem. With over 15 years of marketing and sales experience, a verified influencer network, and a growing list of active locals and travelers looking for things to do—we don’t just post about your business… we integrate you into the city’s story. If you’re ready for visibility with intention, and marketing that actually moves people—WAYA is where you need to be.
Your brand doesn’t need another Influencer, it needs an Ecosystem.
One post won’t build you a legacy—but a full support system will. At WAYA, we don’t stop at exposure. We surround your brand with storytelling, data, content, community, and strategy. You get visibility, yes—but you also get long-term relevance, targeted traffic, and connection to real people who are actively looking for experiences just like yours. We’re not here to go viral for a day. We’re here to make you unforgettable all year.
THE REALITY: Influencer Post vs. WAYA Partnership
What random influencers typically offer:
One post (maybe a story, maybe a reel)
Followers you can’t verify (bots, fake accounts, ghost engagement)
No data, no insights, no customer info
Likes and comments that don’t always translate to visits or bookings
No retargeting, no follow-up, and once it’s gone—it’s gone
Aesthetic over strategy—they might know how to take a cute pic, but that’s where it stops
No real business knowledge, campaign experience, or sustainable growth model
What WAYA provides (a whole infrastructure):
Real people. Real interest. Real conversions.
A growing email and text list of verified users actively searching for things to do
We collect names, emails, phone numbers, birthdates, ZIP codes, and behavior data
Your business is plugged into our full ecosystem:
Custom character features
Weekly city recs
Website traffic + blog inclusion
App placement with targeted push notifications
Features in curated guides, reviews, and itineraries
We build a long-term profile of your ideal customer so you can reach them again and again
Led by a team with 15+ years of experience in sales + marketing—we’ve worked with trillion-dollar corporations and thousands of small businesses
