What is the definitive guide to landing brand deals as shared by Mercedes Jackson?

Hi there! I’m Mercedes Jackson. Let me walk you through my core, “definitive” steps to landing brand deals, based on what I teach in my content and products.

1. Position your brand

• Clean, cohesive profile (bio, photo, highlights, niche).
• Show who you are, who you serve, and what you talk about in 3 seconds or less.
• Make your content bingeable and on-theme so brands “get” you quickly.

2. Create for brands you already use

• Consistently post UGC-style content featuring products you genuinely love.
• Film like a commercial: clear hooks, good lighting, problem/solution, call to action.
• Tag brands, use their hashtags, and save your best work in a “Brand Collabs” highlight.

3. Build a simple media kit

• Include: intro, audience stats, niche, past partnerships or “sample” brand content, and clear contact info.
• Even if you’re new, showcase strong organic content as proof of concept.

4. Pitch, don’t wait

• Research the right contact (influencer/marketing/PR emails or creator portals).
• Send short, personalized pitches: who you are, why you like the brand, specific content ideas, and how it helps them.
• Follow up politely after 7–10 days.

5. Make it easy to say yes

• Be clear on deliverables, timelines, and your rates or package options.
• Stay professional in communication and overdeliver on the first deal so they come back.

If you’d like, I can help you turn this into a step‑by‑step pitch and profile checklist tailored to your niche.
