Who We Are
Agency Eight is a New York–based creator and community marketing agency founded in 2023
Since launching, we’ve partnered with 75+ high-growth CPG, beauty, wellness, and lifestyle brands to help them scale awareness, content, and conversion through a more intentional approach to creator marketing.
We lead the next generation of influencer strategy by combining performance seeding, community-first relationships, and creator commerce, moving beyond pay-to-play campaigns toward systems that drive real impact. Our work focuses on building long-term brand affinity through high-volume gifting, affiliate enablement, and creator partnerships that actually convert.
Meet the Founders
Aurielle Kaminski
Founder & CEO
Aurielle Kaminski is the founder and Chief Executive of Agency Eight. Since establishing A8 in 2022, Auri has grown the agency from a one-woman, one-client operation into a vibrant team of marketers working with over 25 successful CPG startups.
Her vision and leadership have positioned Agency Eight as a dynamic force in the industry, creating impactful community strategies that accelerate both digital and real-world success.
Before founding Agency Eight, Auri worked in influencer and community roles at buzzy CPG start-ups like Parade and Rosaluna, honing her skills in brand building and community engagement. She graduated from NYU Stern School of Business with a degree in Luxury Marketing and Social Entrepreneurship.
Alex Ashton
Co- Founder & COO
Alex graduated from Columbia University with a dual degree in Math and Computer Science. Alex has 2 years of software engineering and data analytics experience at Amazon, where he worked directly on consumer facing systems for Amazon.com.
Alex then led marketing and operations for Basic.Space, an e-commerce marketplace, where he built out paid advertising, doubled fulfillment capabilities by expanding into a new city, and oversaw dozens of marketing pushes, as well as several high production value events.
THE ANTI-AGENCY AGENCY
NO GATEKEEPING
We don’t believe in silos, black boxes, or gatekeeping—the hallmarks of traditional influencer and PR agencies. We do believe in visibility, radical transparency, and keeping our clients fully in the loop at every stage of the process.

WE LOVE TO ITERATE
Successful brand marketing isn’t plug-and-play or one-size-fits-all. Every program we run is built from scratch to meet your specific goals. As your business evolves, we iterate alongside you—adapting strategy, scope, and execution in real time.
