📋 Step 1: List Your Target Brands

Start by making a list of the brands you’d love to work with. Whether it’s a local business or a global brand, having a clear vision helps you tailor your approach.

Intentionality: Creating a target list helps you focus your outreach and content strategy.
Tailored Approach: Different brands require unique pitches and strategies, so being specific can pay off.

🔍 Step 2: Research Your Target Brands

Before reaching out, you need to deeply understand each brand. Conduct research into:

• Brand Values: Understand their mission and vision.

• Product Range: What products are they promoting?

• Target Audience: Who are they selling to?

• Brand History: Where are they coming from, and where are they going?

• Marketing Campaigns: What have they done in the past, and what could you offer them?

• Pricing Strategy: Align your proposals with their budget and pricing structure.

🎥 Step 3: Create Content with Brands in Mind

Now it's time to integrate the brand's products naturally into your content. There are two main routes:

Quantity Route: Become a Brand Advocate

Become a loyal user and advocate of the brand. Talk about their products consistently and authentically.

Example: Maggie Mwende is a content creator who consistently featured Astonish and Ellicept products in her content. Eventually, her authenticity and frequent mentions led to brand partnerships.

Quality Route: Create Compelling Content

Create unique, high-quality content that showcases the product in the best light. Think about how the product fits into your storytelling or problem-solving.

Example: Creators like Temina, Keriwahu, and Kimanzi excel at creating scripted content that weaves the product seamlessly into a narrative, making it engaging and relatable.

📧 Step 4: Send a Proposal with Data

Once you've created content featuring the brand, it's time to send a well-crafted proposal. Back up your pitch with data:

• Content Links: Include links to your relevant content.

• Engagement Metrics: Show how many views, shares, and comments your posts received.

• Audience Sentiment: Provide insights into how your audience interacts with the content.

• Future Collaboration Potential: Showcase how your ongoing collaboration could benefit the brand in the long run.
