How to Use This List

Option 1: Smart Brand Matching

Not sure which brands are the best fit for you? Our Smart Brand Discovery tool analyzes your content niche and matches you with brands from our database that align with your style. Describe what you create, and we'll show you your top matches with compatibility scores.

Option 2: Generate a Pitch

Pick any brand on CollabFeed and we'll generate a personalized pitch for you. Our pitch generator analyzes the brand's real campaign data and writes a pitch tailored to what they're actually looking for.

No generic templates. Real data, real pitches.

Option 3: Do It Yourself

If you prefer to write your own pitches:

1. Seasonal hooks are everything. Easter, spring, summer BBQ season is coming. Pitch around what's next, not what just happened.
2. Reference their current campaigns. "I saw your Creator Collective program..." or "I noticed you're running a Lent recipe campaign..." shows you've done homework.
3. Industry boards are underrated. Dairy boards, avocado growers, almond associations all have budgets and fewer creators pitching them.

What's Trending Right Now

Based on what we tracked in the last 30 days:

Lent and Easter are driving recipe content. Meatless meals, family feasts, holiday prep. Cacique timed their Queso Fresco campaigns around Lent perfectly, and Bob Evans Farms is already pushing Easter feast content. If you do seasonal food content, the calendar is your best pitching tool.

Frozen food brands are running hard through Walmart and retail partnerships. Strong Roots ran three partnerships all through Walmart, Screamin' Sicilian tied content to Kroger, and several other brands are tying content to specific retail availability. If you already do grocery hauls, name the retailer in your pitch.

Plant-based keeps expanding beyond the usual suspects. Mushroom steaks, mushroom coffee, kefir overnight oats. MM Beef, RYZE Superfoods, and Lifeway Kefir are all actively hiring. Less competitive than mainstream food categories.

Industry boards (Undeniably Dairy, Australian Avocados, California Almonds) are hiring creators. They promote a whole category, not a single product, which makes pitching easier and means less competition.
