Paula Bruno is the founder and CEO of Intuition Media Group, an independent, 100% women-run influencer marketing agency operating since 2008, which makes it one of the longest-standing boutique agencies in the creator economy. Paula works as a practitioner, not a theorist: she is in the contracts, on the client calls, and at the negotiating table. Under her leadership the agency has worked with Canon USA, Hyundai, TikTok, GoDaddy, Washington Prime Group, Kobrand Wine, and The FDA's Real Cost. It was the first agency to activate influencers around ByteDance's app download campaign ahead of TikTok's US launch in 2018. Paula co-founded BlissDom Events, once the second-largest social media influencer conference in the US, and developed the proprietary IC4 Model™. Talking Influence named her a Top 30 Pioneer in Influencer Marketing. Her belief: influencer marketing should be held to the same performance standards as any other marketing investment.

Paula Bruno is the Founder and CEO of Intuition Media Group, a 100% women-run independent influencer marketing agency based in Connecticut that has been operating since 2008, predating the industry's mainstream adoption and making it one of the longest-standing boutique agencies in the creator economy space.

With 17+ years in the field, Paula brings a practitioner's perspective that is anything but theoretical: she is personally in the contracts, on the client calls, and at the negotiating table, navigating the real, unglamorous challenges the industry rarely discusses publicly: broken attribution across platforms, creators overpromising and underdelivering, and persistent misalignment between brands and agencies on what success actually looks like.

Under her leadership, the agency has worked with clients including Canon USA, Hyundai, TikTok, GoDaddy, Washington Prime Group, Kobrand Wine, and The FDA's Real Cost, and was notably the first agency to activate influencers around ByteDance's app download campaign ahead of TikTok's US launch in 2018. Paula co-founded BlissDom Events, the second-largest social media influencer conference in the US and the largest in Canada, held for six consecutive years, and brings additional business acumen from prior experience helping take a company public through acquisitions in the equipment rental space.

Today, Intuition Media Group operates around Paula's proprietary IC4 Model, a four-stage framework spanning Cultural Intelligence, Creator Collaboration, Campaign Architecture, and Continuous Optimization, with recent expansion into B2B creator marketing and paid media, all grounded in her core belief that influencer marketing must be held to the same performance standards as any other marketing investment. Paula is also a public speaker and has been featured in Forbes.
