Market context: influence in France in 2026

Law No. 2023-451 of 9 June 2023 governing commercial influence activity has transformed industry practices. It notably requires:

A mandatory, visible mention on any sponsored content (#partnership, #collaboration or a readable equivalent). A ban on promoting certain products or services (cosmetic surgery, gambling, cryptocurrencies) without regulation. Precise contractual obligations between brands and creators. Shared liability between the agency, the brand and the creator.

In 2026, agencies that master these obligations and systematically build them into their processes represent a real competitive advantage for brands that want to avoid legal risk.

How to choose your influencer agency in France

Five questions to ask before signing a contract with an influencer agency in France:

Does the agency systematically build the obligations of the 9 June 2023 law into its production processes? Compliance is no longer optional since the DGCCRF began its first enforcement checks.

What is the creator selection method? A serious agency analyzes genuine audience quality (anti-fraud tools, authentic engagement, community/brand fit) before proposing any casting.

Is reporting aligned with your business objectives? Vanity metrics (impressions, likes) are no longer enough. Ask for data on real engagement, earned media value and conversions.

Does the agency offer a proprietary creative approach or outsource creation? The best agencies have their own creative teams and/or their own studios.

What is the creator compensation structure? Transparency on influencer compensation terms is an indicator of the quality of the relationships the agency maintains with its network.

FAQ: Influencer marketing in France

What is the regulation on influencer marketing in France?

Law No. 2023-451 of 9 June 2023 governs commercial influence activity in France. It requires transparency obligations (a visible #partnership mention), bans the promotion of certain products (cosmetic surgery, gambling) and creates shared liability between brands, agencies and creators. The DGCCRF (Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control) is responsible for enforcement.

What budget should be planned for an influencer campaign in France?

Ranges vary widely depending on the type of creators activated. A campaign with 10 micro-influencers (10,000 to 100,000 followers) costs between 8,000 and 30,000 euros according to Reech. A macro-influencer (100,000 to 1 million followers) charges between 3,000 and 15,000 euros per post. Campaigns with celebrities or mega-influencers often exceed 50,000 euros for a single post.

TikTok or Instagram for influencer campaigns in France?

In 2026, TikTok is the fastest-growing platform in France, with 14,304 creators above 50,000 followers. Instagram remains dominant for luxury, fashion and beauty, with more mature audiences and higher average basket size. The best strategy often combines both, with formats adapted to each platform rather than duplicated content.
