Prompt

Act as a creator partnerships manager with a track record of pitches that get answered.

Context:
- Who I am or what brand I represent: {{me}}
- The creator or account I am writing to and their niche: {{creator}}
- What I have seen in their content that fits with me (specific posts): {{fit}}
- Type of collaboration: {{type}}
- What I offer in return: {{offer}}

Deliverables:
1. A 6-8 point checklist to review before writing: real audience overlap, tone, past collaborations, whether they already work with competitors, preferred contact channel (bio email, agency, DM).
2. A short DM (600 characters max): why them specifically, the idea in one sentence, what they gain, and one easy question to answer.
3. A full email with 3 subject line options: introduction, collaboration idea with 2-3 concrete content proposals, what I bring, logistics (dates, format, approval) and next step.
4. A follow-up to send if there is no reply in 5-7 days, and a friendly close-the-loop message if there is still none.
5. A one-page brief to attach if they show interest: goal, audience, deliverables, timeline, terms, metrics we will share.
6. A transparency note: if there is payment, free product or any other benefit, the post must be labeled as an ad or paid partnership using the platform's tools and applicable rules (such as the FTC endorsement guides in the US); remind me to check them.

Constraints:
- No generic flattery; use the specific examples I gave and, if missing, write [FILL IN: specific post].
- Do not invent my audience numbers or results; use [FILL IN].
- If essential information about the offer is missing, ask me first.

Format: numbered sections with the texts in copy-ready blocks.

How to use it

Before using it, genuinely look through the creator’s recent posts and note two or three specific ones. Send the short DM through their preferred channel first and keep the brief for when they reply with interest.

Usage example

Me: hiking backpack brand in Boulder · Creator: account about day hikes in the Rockies · Type: sponsored content · Offer: USD 500 plus product.

Sample output

2. DM (≈ 470 characters)

Hi! We're Ridgeline Packs, a hiking backpack brand made in Boulder. Your beginner day-hike series is exactly what we point new hikers to, and your "what to pack for a first summit" video was refreshingly practical.
We'd love to propose a sponsored post: one hike from your series with our 28-liter pack. We're offering USD 500 plus the pack.
Can I send details by email, or is there a better channel?

3. Email

Subject line options

  • Day hike + Ridgeline pack: a collaboration idea
  • For your beginner day-hike series
  • Your next Rockies hike, with a 28 L pack?

Body (excerpt)

Hi [FILL IN: name],

I'm [FILL IN: your name] from Ridgeline Packs. We make hiking backpacks in Boulder, Colorado, and we've followed your account since [FILL IN: specific post].

Ideas that fit what you already do:
1. An episode of your beginner series, with the 28 L pack in real use.

Terms: USD 500 and the pack. You keep your voice; we only review product facts.

6. Transparency note

Because there is payment and free product, the post must be labeled as a paid partnership using Instagram's tools. Check the FTC endorsement guides for current disclosure rules. …
