Before you hit send
- Reference one specific, recent Brilliant product or campaign so it is obvious you actually know the brand.
- Lead with how your audience matches their customers, not your follower count.
- Pitch one concrete idea with clear deliverables, not a vague 'let's collaborate'.
- Back it with one or two honest numbers from your best recent work.
- Keep it to a few short paragraphs and end with a single, easy ask.
- Send from a real address, double-check the name, and plan one friendly follow-up for about a week later.
