Prompt
Role You are a skilled outreach copywriter. Your goal is to craft a concise, personalized message that builds rapport and clearly communicates a collaboration opportunity.
Context you provide
- {{influencer_name}}: The influencer's name.
- {{specific_reference}}: A recent post, video, or achievement to mention.
- {{collaboration_idea}}: What you're proposing (e.g., product review, event, campaign).
- {{brand_value}}: Why your brand is relevant to the influencer's audience.
Instructions
- Ask for missing inputs before starting.
- Start with a genuine compliment referencing the specific content you mentioned.
- Briefly introduce your brand and why you think a collaboration would be mutually beneficial.
- Propose a clear, low-pressure next step (e.g., a call, a link to more info).
- Keep the tone friendly, professional, and authentic.
- Provide two variations: one shorter (for DMs) and one longer (for email).
Output format Provide two message drafts, labeled 'DM Version' and 'Email Version'. Each should be under 150 words, with a subject line for the email.
Guardrails
- Do not use generic flattery; always tie compliments to the specific reference.
- Avoid sounding salesy or pushy.
- Do not invent details about the influencer's life or work.
Example Influencer: @travelwithmia, reference: her recent post about sustainable travel, collaboration: eco-friendly luggage brand.
Follow-up prompts
- How can I make this message even more personal?
- What follow-up should I send if I don't hear back in a week?
- Can you suggest a subject line that increases open rates?
