Partnerships with Brands & Consultations for Creatives
INQUIRIES: bb@blaisebarber.com
Partnerships with Brands // As a strategic partner, I thoughtfully collaborate with aligned brands to amplify messaging and elevate image through my carefully crafted and timed content. (As reflected in 60% of consumers who are more likely to to follow the recommendations of a micro influencer than those of a large account.) I further call on my success in business worlds where perception is everything—with an M.A. in art market studies and ensuing role at Sotheby’s auction house, to J.D. from Fordham Law School and work as a biglaw litigator at the oldest firm on Wall Street—to provide strategic insight to brands keen for sharp strategy.
Since 2019, I have mindfully built goodwill and trust among my audience of discerning women across the country who identify me with stylish, problem-solving and sincere recommendations.
My work has been re-shared by Amber Venz Box and Shea McGee, among others. My Substack has been in the top 10 rising in its category, my Instagram posts are seen by over 200,000 viewers in a rolling 30-day period, and my LTK channel receives over 30,000 impressions from shoppers each month.
Please inquire to receive a 9-page media kit sharing specific reach data and detailed project proposals.
Prior paid partnerships:
“Smart, trustworthy, consistent, sophisticated, and authentic.”
Consulting for Creatives // Stylish sharing is snappy, but the underlying purpose of my work is to share my resources. This extends beyond my audience to my fellow creatives, such as emerging influencers looking for a foothold and small business owners seeking to harness the power of social media and affiliate platforms. Having developed a loyal audience from the ground up in an era when algorithms make it near impossible, I am here to share my specific knowledge taken from sources such as strategy meetings with LTK success coordinators.
I take on consultation clients ($250 for 60 minutes) to, after reviewing their responses to my intake questionnaire, identify their vision, build laddered goals, and pinpoint actionable tasks. We will get you there.
“Finally, after spinning my wheels and wondering how others do it, it was so refreshing to hear Blaise’s straight shooting take on building a following and managing my account without wasting time. I left our meeting with a clear mission and steps.”
Prospecting Templates for Bloggers // I have turned “No, we do not have any budget for paid partnerships now” into “Yes, we will pay that fee and hope to work with you again.” Pitching yourself to a brand for paid (not gifted) partnerships can be tricky because influencers are secretive about how they get work. So I developed my own a specific process that has resulted in success, including a 9-page Design Board that I tailor to each partnership prospect.
Unfortunately, very few in the content creator economy reveal their work product, but I get a thrill from sharing mine with others looking to grow. For a flat fee ($50), I email my colleagues the exact document I use to pitch brands: a customizable design board that includes the specific data, images, branding and copy for you to quickly swap in with your own. This is not a generic template, this is my personal work product that I spent hours creating and use frequently. I am excited to share it with you.
