If you’re an Irish TikTok influencer looking to break into the French market or a brand in France keen on tapping into Ireland’s creative talent, this guide’s for you. Collaborating across borders on TikTok isn’t just a fad—it’s a solid way to scale fast, build authentic connections, and get ROI that actually makes sense.
As of May 2025, Ireland’s influencer scene is buzzing and savvy brands in France are keen to partner up. But how do you navigate the nitty-gritty—payment methods, legal bits, cultural vibes, and platform quirks? Pull up a chair, we’ll break it down like pros chatting over a cuppa.
📢 Marketing Trends in Ireland and France on TikTok
Ireland’s TikTok game has exploded with creators like @SineadMolloy and @DublinDan showing how local flavour wins hearts. Meanwhile, French brands such as Le Slip Français and L’Occitane are increasingly eyeing Irish influencers to diversify their reach.
In 2025, Irish influencers have become highly sought after for their authentic storytelling and relatable content. The Irish pound is long gone, so payments flow smoothly in euros (€), which makes transactions with France hassle-free. PayPal, Wise, and direct SEPA bank transfers are the go-to options for cross-border payments—fast, transparent, and cost-effective.
💡 Practical Tips for Irish TikTok Influencers Collaborating with French Brands
Understand the Cultural Nuances
French audiences appreciate creativity but also value sophistication and storytelling with a hint of elegance. Irish influencers should mix their natural humour and candid style with a bit of French flair. For example, adapting captions or voiceovers in French—or collaborating with bilingual creators—can boost engagement.
Nail the Legal and Contractual Stuff
Ireland and France both have strict data privacy laws aligned with GDPR, so contracts must clearly outline data use, content rights, and payment terms. Don’t skip having a written agreement, even if you’re dealing with a small brand. Use platforms like BaoLiba that offer standardised contracts tailored to influencer-brand relationships in Europe.
Payment and Tax Considerations
Payments from French brands usually come in euros, which suits Irish influencers because the euro is Ireland’s currency. This avoids conversion headaches and keeps your earnings intact. Remember to declare this income properly under Irish tax law—Revenue.ie is your mate here.
Use Local Platforms and Agencies
Irish-based influencer marketing agencies like The Social Element and Tribe47 are already working with French clients. They can help bridge language gaps, negotiate deals, and handle logistics. Plus, using local platforms like BaoLiba can streamline campaign management and ensure you get paid on time.
📊 Case Study: Irish Influencer x French Brand Success
Take @LiamOConnor, a Dublin-based TikTok creator who partnered with French skincare brand Caudalie in early 2025. Liam created a series of relatable, humorous videos showcasing Caudalie’s products in everyday Irish settings but with French captions. The campaign boosted Caudalie’s Irish sales by 30% and earned Liam a 20% increase in brand collaborations.
This shows blending local authenticity with cross-border appeal can work wonders.
❗ Risks and How to Avoid Them
Beware of “ghost brands” and shady deals. Always verify the brand’s credentials and never pay to collaborate. Irish influencers should be cautious about intellectual property rights and ensure they retain ownership or usage rights over their content. If unsure, ask for legal advice or use BaoLiba’s vetted contracts.
