Accenture Song Bolsters Creator Power With Superdigital

255

Accenture Song’s purchase of Superdigital marks a decisive bet on influencer-driven marketing and creator commerce as channel complexity and AI reshape CMO priorities.

Accenture Song has acquired U.S.-based agency Superdigital in a move designed to significantly strengthen its social, influencer, and creator marketing portfolio at a time when brand-building is increasingly social-first and AI-enabled. While financial terms remain undisclosed, the acquisition, announced August 19, positions Superdigital’s team of 40 specialists—renowned for their work in short-form video, influencer partnerships, and platform-native creativity—at the core of Song’s end-to-end social media, content, and community strategy services.

Founded in 2013, Superdigital has built a reputation for rapid creative production, native campaign design, and cultural awareness, serving high-profile clients such as Microsoft and Welch’s. Recent Superdigital activations highlight the shift to experience-led, shareable campaigns: a bodega-style pop-up for Welch’s with a hidden speakeasy and Microsoft’s influencer-powered PC campaign leveraging Copilot + AI.

According to Sean Lackey, marketing practice lead for the Americas at Accenture Song, “Superdigital brings added strength in areas where our clients are seeking an advantage—at the intersection of creativity, data, and technology—and complements our vision for marketing reinvention”. Data shows that CMOs are doubling down on creator partnerships and social channel performance, with influencer marketing on track for a record M&A year: more than 52 deals tracked in the first half of 2025, as agencies and holding companies race to build creator economies at scale.

The deal follows a wave of similar strategic acquisitions by agency rivals and consolidates Song’s push for tech-enabled marketing, rapid content, and measurement across earned, owned, and paid media. Industry observers see Song’s move as a play for relevance and business growth in a market where Gen Z audiences and digital natives ignore traditional channels and expect innovation and authenticity.
