Become the next face of IMVU! VU Influencer is IMVU’s official modeling and influencer program, designed to elevate your status as one of our elite VU Influencers. You’ll represent the IMVU brand, inspire the community, and share all the great things that IMVU has to offer. As a VU Influencer, you can be featured in campaigns, receive rewards, gain IMVU celeb status, host parties, and be featured on our social channels and on Discover!
Each month, IMVU will host a casting call as we search for 3 types of VU Influencers – IMVU’s most stylish member, VIP user, and Creator – to represent IMVU in upcoming campaigns. Each influencer’s active cycle will last for two months, with additional opportunities created specifically for our Influencer Alums.
VU Influencer is your chance to partner with IMVU staff to share new events with the community, but there’s only one way to join our program – you must apply!
