Here are three essential steps to build better collaborations:

Step 1. Make your first impressions count
Distinguishing yourself in a sea of applications isn’t easy—especially when every creator is vying for the same opportunities.
You must highlight your expertise, craft personalized pitches, and capture brands’ attention when it matters most. Use these features to showcase your strengths and impress potential brand partners.
Get noticed by brands with social listening

How to get noticed:
- Use brand hashtags in relevant content
- Tag or mention brands in authentic posts
- Include brand-specific keywords naturally in your captions
Why you’ll love it:
- Get discovered by brands you genuinely support
- Turn your organic brand engagement into partnership opportunities
Brands can monitor key terms across various channels, offering new discovery opportunities for creators frequently discussing relevant brand or industry topics.

Understanding why your applications get rejected can feel like an impossible puzzle—especially when clear answers are hard to come by. You need insights that reveal hidden obstacles and strategies to align with brand expectations.
These tools provide actionable feedback to turn missed opportunities into future successes.
