Your media kit is ready to share! šŸ˜Ž Letā€™s talk about how you can use it to secure brand deals.

šŸ”— How to reach out

When should you send your media kit?

šŸ§© Now Is The Time!

  • Your top social accounts are synced through Phyllo to your Beacons Media Kit! Itā€™s time to share your media kit with your dream brands in order to pitch yourself for their partnerships.

Does it matter when in a day you send it?

šŸ§© This Is Not Too Important!

  • You can send an email whenever youā€™re up for it! We recommend setting aside 2-5 hours a week to think of dream brands, find their best contact, send your pitch email+media kit, and follow up!

    šŸ§© You Are Not Being Annoying By Following Up!

    • You are not being annoying by following up when you donā€™t hear back! Feel free to send a professional email (template below) every week to the brand until you get a response or feel like moving on.

šŸ§© You Can Be Strategic!

  • The best times to email are Tuesdays and Wednesdays mid-day to evening. This is when people are checking their email and most likely to act!

šŸ”— Where to reach out

Who do you send your media kit to?

This is the tricky part and will require some digging on your end!

šŸ§© Visit The Brand Website!

  • Visit your dream brand website and see if there are any links to partnerships - about 50% of brands have this as an option. From there, follow the site instructions. Always include a link to your media kit where youā€™re able!

  • For the other 50% of brands, check out the CONTACT US button that usually lives at the bottom of their website. Follow the site instructions here - if their email is provided, fill out the contact form AND send an email, both including your media kit link!

šŸ§© Search The Brand On LinkedIn!

  • Search the brand+ certain keywords that may lead you to the right contact (Example Key Words: Influencer Partnerships, Marketing, Sponsorships). If youā€™re able to find a contact, reach out to them via LinkedIn messages or try putting their name into the company email template and sending an email there!

šŸ§© Share With Third-Party Marketing Agencies!

  • Share with any marketing agencies! Have you done a partnership through a marketing agency in the past? Reach back out to that contact and share your media kit, explaining that you are open and excited to work with them again if there are any brands that align with your content!

šŸ§© Connect With Other Creator Friends!

  • Connect with any friends that have worked with brands you are excited about. If they are able to share a good point of contact, send your media kit to them expressing interest!

šŸ”— How to reach out

How do you send your media kit?

šŸ§© By Email!

  • In an email! Use the below email template to send your media kit to each brand - you can personalize this to highlight a specific post that did well or past content that is similar to the brand you are emailing.

šŸ§© On The Brandā€™s Website!

  • On the brandā€™s website! Often times, brands have a contact page within their website. This can look like a contact form or a partnerships application - still send the same email template. Look for the CONTACT US button usually at the bottom of a brandā€™s website - this should point you in the right direction!

šŸ§© To The Brandā€™s Social Account Direct Messages!

  • To the brandā€™s social account direct messages! This doesn't always lead to response, but sometimes brands are more active on their social accounts. Feel free to send the same email template via their Instagram, TikTok, Twitter direct messages!

šŸ§© Via LinkedIn Messages!

  • Via LinkedIn messages! Search the brand+ certain keywords that may lead you to the right contact (Example Key Words: Influencer Partnerships, Marketing, Sponsorships). If youā€™re able to find a contact, reach out to them via LinkedIn messages with the same email template!
