Frequently Asked Questions

How many brands should I pitch per week?

Quality over quantity. 5-10 highly personalized pitches per week will outperform 50 generic ones. Research each brand, find the right contact, and tailor your message.

What's the best time to pitch brands?

Tuesday through Thursday, between 9-11 AM in the brand's timezone. Avoid Mondays (inbox overload) and Fridays (weekend mode). Q1 and Q3 are typically higher-budget periods.

Should I pitch brands on DM or email?

Email is more professional and preferred by most brand marketing teams. DMs work for smaller brands or direct-to-consumer companies where the founder manages partnerships.

How do I find brand contact emails?

Check the brand's website for a partnerships or press page. LinkedIn is great for finding marketing managers. Hunter.io and similar tools can help find email formats.
