TikTok has established itself as one of the top video-sharing platforms in the world, surpassing Vine, a software once similar to it.
With TikTok’s growing popularity, influencer marketing on the former Musical.ly app has proven to be a good way to increase your brand awareness and engagement.
But for that to happen, you need to learn how to find influencers specific to your campaign and audience.
Now, while the app is popular among men and women, TikTok has more female influencers compared to their male counterparts.
So, how do you find male TikTok creators when you need them?
That's what we will discuss in this piece.
More precisely, we'll look at:
- Top male influencers
- How to find them
Without further ado, let's begin!
Top 8 Male TikTok Influencers
Since it was launched in 2016, TikTok has had over 1 billion users and that number is only expected to go up.
Putting your business on this social media platform can increase your brand reach and partnering with influencers will do you one better.
Collaborations with popular TikTok creators such as Jacob Sartorius, Lucas, or Josh Richards, have been reported to increase ad recall by roughly 27% on the app.
Another report showed that 45% of marketers use TikTok for influencer partnerships.
But finding influencers to work with can be a bit of a challenge.
And that might prove even more challenging if you’re interested in working with male creators.
Why?
Well, out of the number of active TikTok users, 57% of them are females meaning it’s easier to find female creators than male influencers.
But there are several of them that get high levels of engagement, including Zach King who is based in Los Angeles, Gilmher Croes, Justmaiko, and Jayden Cross.
However, because micro influencers generally achieve higher levels of loyalty and engagement, we have curated a list of famous TikTok male micro creators you can work with.

How to Find Male TikTok Influencers using Insense
Influencer marketing is quickly becoming a key advertising strategy for businesses online.
About 93% of marketers say they’ve used it at one time and 90% of them in 2019 planned to raise their influencer marketing budget.
It’s not just businesses that are falling in love with influencer marketing; 40% of millennials said influencers understand them better than their friends.
But then, the results you’ll get from influencer marketing depends on partnering with the right creator.
That can be the showstopper as finding content creators for marketing campaigns is challenging.
So, how do you find a TikTok creator, when you need one—specifically male influencers like Noah Beck, Brent Rivera, Jayden Croes, or Michael Le?
Let’s find out in three simple steps below.
Step #1: Create a TikTok UGC campaign brief
The first step to finding male TikTok influencers for your UGC campaign is to create a campaign brief on Insense.
Insense is a creative platform that simplifies finding and working with creators.
To get started, visit our homepage and click on the Get Started button to get access to Insense.
When you’re logged in to the platform, the next page you will see should have two buttons: Fill out a brief and Find creators.
Select Fill out a brief to begin creating your campaign brief.
On the next page that comes up, which you can see on the screenshot below, you will need to fill out necessary details about your brand that will give creators a pretty good idea of who they’re working with.
The required information includes your:
- Brand logo
- Brand name
- Website
- Summary of your brand and product
When you’re done inputting those details, click on Add brand to continue.
Providing your brand information will allow you access to input information about the campaign creators should know such as:
- The campaign name
- Campaign cover
- Campaign type (influencer partnership or just content)
- What platform the campaign will be launched on (TikTok)
- Campaign objective
- Number of influencers you want to hire
- Price limit
- Payment method
As you fill it out, your brief will be saved automatically.
The creative brief is like a student brochure but for creators; in this case to show them what they’re in for.
As such, it’s important that you make the information you’re providing simple enough for creators to understand.
While filling out the creative brief, there’s a smartphone mockup on the right side of your screen.
It shows you how influencers will see the creative brief on their smartphone devices.
Checking it while filling out the brief is good practice so that if you see anything out of place, you can make the necessary corrections before you finally submit the brief.
How can you find male creators to work with this brief?
Well, you do need to keep going to find out.
Step #2: Create a desired creator profile
The next step you need to take to find just the right male influencer on our platform is to create who you consider your ideal creator profile.
It’s a continuation from the previous step.
If you correctly filled out all the details required in the previous section, you should see this on your screen next.
Author’s Tip: Kindly note that if you don’t see it, then you probably have to scroll back up to check what’s missing and fill out your business and campaign information correctly.
Next, you will see a desired creators profile heading. It is there that you will select what the parameters of your creator profile should be.
In this case, the major parameter will be gender.
But before you can do that, you need to begin by selecting the location you want your influencer to be in.
Thereafter, you can go ahead and select their gender (male) and choose other parameters you deem necessary for your TikTok influencer campaigns such as category or niche, age, ethnicity, ER (engagement rate), and the number of followers they have.
When you’re done creating your desired creators profile, the next step is to choose the type of creative asset you want the influencer to create.
Do you want lip-syncing videos, dance videos like those of the Dobretwins, or would you like them to be creative?
In any case, the content needs to be engaging enough that subscribers can share or download it.
You know, the way they will if it was a prank video or similar.
Some additional options include if you want the creator to tag your brand on the post or use specific hashtags for the campaign.
Thereafter, you can click the send to review button at the top right corner of your screen to get your campaign underway.
Step #3: Visit the Insense Creator Marketplace
Aside from creating a campaign brief, another way you can find male creators is by visiting our creator marketplace.
It grants you access to a large number of diverse creators you can search and curate for successful TikTok campaigns.
To access the marketplace, click on the Find creators button shown in the image below.
You can see what our marketplace looks like below.
To find male TikTok influencers, you can use the different filters seen in the screenshot above.
That will be majorly using the gender filter and others as you see fit.
You will get results based on the criteria you set including their follower count, likes, and engagement rates.
From there you can select influencers that are the perfect fit for your campaign.
You may want to avoid using influencers such as Charli D’Amelio, Chase Hudson, Cameron Dallas, Jacob Sartorius, Riyaz, or Addison Rae for your campaign if you’re aiming for higher engagement rates.
It’s time to wrap this up.
