To make the most of this article, look up the brand’s name in the app and unlock contacts that work with creators. Any title with PR, Influencer, Affiliate, etc. is a good guess.
Reality check: most brands need to work around a certain calendar and budget before they can offer creators a paid collaboration. It’s very common to start by receiving products, build a relationship, and take it further along the road towards cash money babe. We’re not saying you should accept gifts as “payment” all the time. Just that, to build your portfolio and to spark meaningful relationships with brands you genuinely love, you should consider accepting gifts first. Brands (big or small) rarely pay to collaborate right off the bat.
Read our Createur Roundtables to learn more about how brands work with creators. From Supergoop to Too Faced, it’s a goldmine for learning what goes behind the scene.
Best practices to reach out to those brands
We’ll be brief, short and sweet, but remember:
-
Only hit up brands you mentioned or tagged before.
-
Research the brand and write a heartfelt, not-too-long, typo-free email. Do not copy-paste an email you found on Google.
-
Reach out to the right person. The best roles to contact from the Createur app include one of the following terms in their job title: PR, Influence, Affiliate, Social Media. If none of these appear, choose Marketing people and ask who is the best person to reach out to. Bonus unlocks if you then submit that contact in the app ;)
-
Include the following in your email: why you love the brand, why it aligns with you, what kind of content you’d like to do, stats about your audience, your engagement rate, etc.
-
If it’s your first time ever contacting this brand, expect to be gifted at first. Brands rarely go on paid partnerships right away, except if you’re Bella.
That’s it, you’re ready to go! Let us know how it goes 🧡
