Creator Sponsorships

Creator Media Kit Checklist

Use this creator media kit checklist to prepare sponsorship stats, rates, audience proof, packages, and brand-deal terms.

A creator media kit should make it easy for a sponsor to understand your audience, evaluate fit, and choose a clear next step. It does not need to be long. It needs to be specific, current, and easy to price.

Quick answer

A useful creator media kit should include your audience summary, platform stats, content formats, sponsorship packages, rate-card assumptions, past proof, usage-rights notes, and contact details.

If you do not have rates yet, build them with the Creator Rate Card Builder or start from the Creator Sponsorship Rate Calculator.

Media kit checklist

Use this checklist before sending a media kit to a brand.

SectionWhat to include
Creator positioningOne sentence explaining who you help and what your content is known for.
Audience snapshotPrimary audience, geography, niche, buyer intent, and community context.
Platform statsFollowers, subscribers, average views, opens, clicks, engagement, or watch metrics.
Content formatsShort-form video, YouTube integration, newsletter slot, carousel, livestream, or bundle.
Sponsorship packagesStarter, standard, and campaign options with clear deliverables.
Rate assumptionsWhat is included, what costs extra, and when pricing changes.
Usage rightsWhether organic reposting, paid social, edits, or whitelisting are included.
ExclusivityWhether category lockouts are available and how long they last.
ProofPast partners, anonymized results, testimonials, examples, or performance screenshots.
Contact pathEmail, form link, expected response time, and booking requirements.

What not to include

Do not overload the kit with every post, every metric, or a long biography. Sponsors usually need fit, proof, package options, and a clear way to proceed. Keep detailed analytics available for qualified conversations instead of making the first file hard to scan.

Rate-card section

Your media kit should not hide pricing assumptions. Even if you do not publish every final price, show how packages are structured.

PackageWhat it usually means
StarterOne focused placement with limited scope and no paid usage rights.
StandardThe default sponsor package with the main deliverable and normal revisions.
CampaignA larger package with multiple deliverables, licensing, reporting, or launch support.

Use the Creator Package Pricing Calculator when you need a good-better-best package menu, then turn it into sponsor-facing copy with the Sponsor Package Menu Template. Use the Usage Rights Fee Calculator when the brand wants to reuse your content in ads or landing pages.

Proof section

Proof does not have to mean famous brand logos. Useful proof can include:

  • Average view range for the format the sponsor wants.
  • Newsletter open rate or click range.
  • Audience geography and niche relevance.
  • Example posts that match the sponsor’s category.
  • Anonymized campaign results.
  • Testimonials from previous partners.

The goal is to reduce uncertainty. A sponsor should understand why your audience is relevant and what package they should ask about.

Keep the kit in this order:

  1. Positioning and audience.
  2. Platform proof.
  3. Sponsorship packages.
  4. Usage rights and exclusivity notes.
  5. Examples or case studies.
  6. Contact details.

After you build the kit, use the Brand Deal Email Template Generator to send it with a short sponsor reply instead of attaching it without context.

Maintenance note

Update your media kit whenever your core metrics change materially, when you add a new format, or when your sponsorship packages change. A stale kit creates pricing friction because the sponsor cannot tell which numbers are current.
