Influencer & Partnership Outreach

Q: Do I still need to review and approve pitches before they are sent?

Yes. The automation generates personalized drafts, but a team member reviews and approves each pitch before it is sent, ensuring brand voice and strategic fit.

Q: Can the automation handle different campaign types and audience segments?

Yes. You define campaign criteria, target audience, and partnership goals upfront, and the automation tailors prospect discovery and pitch generation to match those parameters.

Q: What if a prospect does not match the ideal criteria but seems like a good fit?

The system flags prospects that fall outside the defined criteria, allowing your team to manually review and add them to the outreach list if they align with campaign goals.

Q: How does the automation decide when to send follow-up emails?

You set follow-up rules (e.g., send a follow-up 10 days after initial contact if no response), and the automation schedules and sends follow-ups automatically based on those rules.

Keep your outreach pipeline moving by automating contact research, personalised messaging, and follow-up tracking across every partnership prospect.
