Media Kit Template

Fill this in to build the one-page kit you send to brands. Based on Chapter 29.

A media kit is how you show up to a brand like a professional instead of a hobbyist. Fill in every field below honestly, keep it to about one page, and update your numbers regularly. Then paste it into a clean, good-looking layout and have it ready to send the moment an opportunity appears.

How to Use This Template

Fill every field honestly — inflated numbers get caught, and getting caught ends deals and reputations.

Lead with engagement, not size — a smaller, engaged audience beats a big, dead one, and brands know it.

Keep it to one page — a brand should grasp who you are in thirty seconds.

Refresh it regularly — a stale kit with old stats looks careless.

Make it easy to read — clean layout, real numbers, your best work up top.

One Note If you’ll pitch alcohol brands, the of-age audience percentage above is not optional decoration — it’s a threshold they care about. See Appendix A before any alcohol-brand deal.
