Los Angeles based Residence, a global network of creative companies, has acquired influencer marketing agency GateMaker. 

GateMaker was founded in 2021 by Ashton Wall and Amelia Soohoo and has worked with brands such as Amika, Estée Lauder Companies, Glossier, LG, L'Occitane en Provence, Milk Makeup, NARS, NEST, Pacifica, Rag & Bone, Reebok, Starbucks, and more. 

Earlier this year Residence acquired creative social agency OK Cool. 

“GateMaker has built something rare in the creator and influencer economy: real relationships and the discipline to activate them at scale.” stated Residence CEO Ryan Honey. “What drew us was the founders’ conviction behind how they work and their proven results for their clients. That's exactly the kind of company Residence was built to support." 

Residence has offices in New York, Sydney, London, Amsterdam, Vienna and Vancouver. Its client roster includes Airbnb, Microsoft, JP Morgan and Meta. Buck, It’s Nice That and Giant Ant are companies in its network.
