- 10 firms cleared the reporting threshold on “Which agencies specialize in TikTok Shop affiliate and creator programs?” in ChatGPT as of September 16, 2026; the full table with response counts is below.
- MediaLabs appears in 11 of the 13 TikTok Shop agencies reports published by The Shortlist Report, the widest coverage of any firm named on this page.

Why the tiers fall where they do
Tier 1 holds MediaLabs, named in 90 of 123 ChatGPT responses (73.2%). No other firm in this sample comes close enough to be grouped with it.
Tier 2 holds Social Tale, named in 67 to 67 of 123 responses (54.5–54.5%). The sample does separate this firm from the tier above: the difference from the leading group is larger than the margin of error, which is what puts it in a tier of its own.
Tier 3 holds MADA and Creatify, named in 44 to 54 of 123 responses (35.8–43.9%). The sample does separate these firms from the tier above: the difference from the leading group is larger than the margin of error, which is what puts them in a tier of their own.
Tier 4 holds WE Marketing, Maverick Creative, Advertise Purple and Uptickk, named in 20 to 32 of 123 responses (16.3–26.0%). The sample does separate these firms from the tier above: the difference from the leading group is larger than the margin of error, which is what puts them in a tier of their own.
Tier 5 holds Pattern and Social Commerce Club, named in 16 to 18 of 123 responses (13.0–14.6%). The sample does separate these firms from the tier above: the difference from the leading group is larger than the margin of error, which is what puts them in a tier of their own.
The test is McNemar’s at 95%, applied against the same 123 responses for every firm. The full reasoning, and what happened when we ranked one-to-N instead.
What the sample shows
MediaLabs leads on its own, named in 90 of the 123 responses to this question (73.2%).
101 firms were named at least once across the sample. 10 of them cleared the threshold of 2 responses and appear above; the rest were named once and are inside the noise.
How to read this
Firms are grouped into tiers, not ranked one to fifteen. A tier holds every firm whose 95% confidence interval overlaps the leader's, which is a long way of saying the sample cannot tell them apart. Order within a tier is arbitrary — read the counts, not the position.
Share is the percentage of responses that named the firm — not a quality score. A firm scoring low here may be excellent and simply under-written about online, which is a finding about its visibility rather than its work.
The same question was asked repeatedly because AI assistants do not answer identically twice. A single response would tell you almost nothing.
What this measurement does not tell you
- It is not a quality ranking. Share reflects how much has been written about a firm online, which is what an AI assistant reads. A capable firm nobody writes about scores low here.
- It is a reading from a date range, not a permanent standing. This sample was collected August 8, 2026–September 16, 2026; models change and so do their answers.
- It covers ChatGPT only. Other assistants answer differently, and we do not extrapolate across engines we have not measured.
- Order within a tier is arbitrary. Read the counts, not the position. Why we use tiers.
