Template 1: the first pitch

Subject: Collab idea: [your handle] x [brand]

Hi [name],

I loved [specific thing about the brand, e.g. your recent launch]. I make [content type] for [audience] who care about [niche], and they are exactly the people who buy [brand product].

I would love to do [one concrete idea, e.g. a 3-part video series featuring X]. I can also share it across [platforms].

Would you be open to a quick chat this week?

Template 2: the gifting offer

Subject: Featuring [product] for my [niche] audience

Hi [name],

I have been recommending [category] to my [audience size] community for a while, and [brand] keeps coming up. I would love to feature [product] in an honest review and a few stories.

Happy to start with a gifting collab so you can see the fit before anything paid. Would you be up for sending one over?

Template 3: the follow-up

Subject: Re: Collab idea: [your handle] x [brand]

Hi [name],

Quick follow-up in case this slipped through. Since I wrote, [new angle, e.g. my last video on X hit 30k views], which felt relevant to [brand].

Still keen to make something together. Happy to send a short plan if it is useful.

The fastest way to use these is to start from a draft that already references the real brand. Paste a brand's website into CollabQuill and it writes the pitch and follow-ups grounded in their actual products and values, so you are personalizing instead of starting from scratch.
