We help high-trust brands secure, govern, and defend their social identity across every major platform, so customers can find the real brand and avoid fakes, scams, impersonators, and mismanaged accounts.
Handles.ai gives brand, legal, fraud, security, and social teams a shared operating view of the social identity perimeter.
We deploy a Unified Gateway, Identity Bridge, and Governance Layer to provide a single secure entry point, extend corporate identity to external platforms for enhanced control, and manage risk across the entire estate.

THE CHALLENGE
Every major brand has a social identity perimeter. Most cannot see it.
Lookalike handles and cloned profiles scam your audience and erode trust across every network — faster than your team can track. handles.ai detects them, flags them, and takes them down, turning a wall of fakes into your verified presence.
Built for the cross-functional team that owns brand trust.
From growth in reach to stronger engagement and higher conversions,
the data shows the real impact behind every campaign powered by Handles.

@challenge
One real handle. Thousands wearing the logo.
adidas operates a global estate of official handles spanning every major platform and region — a sprawling footprint that is difficult to see all at once, let alone defend.
Impostor accounts ran fake giveaways and counterfeit scams aimed straight at followers, while manual, platform-by-platform reporting simply couldn’t keep pace with how fast the fakes reappeared.

The whole estate, on Radar

From whack-a-mole to governed
Continuous monitoring now watches the estate around the clock, so the team spends its time on brand — not on reporting fakes.
