- 10 firms cleared the reporting threshold on “Which agencies specialize in TikTok Shop affiliate and creator programs?” in ChatGPT as of October 29, 2026; the full table with response counts is below.
- Social Tale appears in 13 of the 15 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 177 of 226 ChatGPT responses (78.3%). No other firm in this sample comes close enough to be grouped with it.
Tier 2 holds Social Tale, named in 126 to 126 of 226 responses (55.8–55.8%). 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, named in 97 to 97 of 226 responses (42.9–42.9%). 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 4 holds Creatify and Advertise Purple, named in 64 to 76 of 226 responses (28.3–33.6%). 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.
Tier 5 holds WE Marketing, Uptickk, Social Commerce Club and TBAR Partners, named in 40 to 57 of 226 responses (17.7–25.2%). 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 6 holds Pattern, named in 36 to 36 of 226 responses (15.9–15.9%). 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.
The test is McNemar’s at 95%, applied against the same 226 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 177 of the 226 responses to this question (78.3%).
122 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–October 29, 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.
