Adidas and the BBC had already said they had not worked with Greedier Social Media, despite being named as clients on the Manchester-based company’s website. Both said they had subsequently been in contact with Greedier.
On Friday, ±±¾©Èü³µpk10's sister title PRWeek noticed that the Adidas logo had been replaced by that of Audi. A spokesperson for the car brand said: "Audi UK has no knowledge of, or involvement with, this organisation"
The BBC logo remains on , as does the logo of film company Universal. PRWeek had earlier asked Universal if it has worked with Greedier but did not receive a response.
It comes amid growing concern about influencers securing commercial deals after buying followings and engagement on social media. , US marketing agency Mediakix said it secured brand sponsorship deals for two fictitious influencers after acquiring Instagram followers for less than $300 (£231).
On its website, Greedier boasts that customers can "become a social media celebrity, from only £2.99".
The firm says its services include providing "UK Twitter followers, targeted Facebook likes, Instagram followers [and] YouTube views".
Greedier did not respond to PRWeek’s request to comment.
