First portable blenders campaign checklist
A first portable blenders campaign at founder scale. Numbered so you can stop lying to yourself about which step you skipped.
- Confirm a live blender in stock, charge time on the page actually closes. Creators cannot fix packaging.
- Write the avatar in a sentence: US English, 21-34, already bounced off a USB blender that died mid-smoothie and a full blender they will not get out at work, watches ‘this blender died at work’ and chunky-protein videos at a desk.
- Write the problem in their mouth: It blended in the ad and it died in the break room with ice still in it.
- Write what they already quit: a USB blender that died mid-blend, a full blender they will not pack, and a shaker bottle they hate.
- Write what they watch: died-at-work, chunky-protein, USB-charge-fail, ‘I will not get the big blender out’.
- Write the reject: the 700k kitchen-gadget reviewer who tests 10 blenders for a roundup.
- Write adjacent so the phone does not smear: desk blend, USB death, not kitchen-renovation.
- Put that sentence into the brief
- Scroll as them on a fresh Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube account. Example to look for: someone sipping a chunky shake because the cup died at 40 percent. Signal: the same chunky-sip face two workdays.
- Keep a 50k average-view floor. Below that, $700 a post for 1k views is a money sink.
- Skip #portableblender as a roster method.
- Email. The contact is usually in a small desk-lunch bio. Name a real video. Ask for the phone number.
- If they won’t give a number, move on. Gadget reviewers quote roundup rates.
- On the call, Minimum View Guarantee. Example: $2000 / 4 posts / 1M views. Talent extra.
- Send the contract while the yes is still warm. Scout $1,500 / Outreach $2,500 / Dealmaker $5,000.
- The cup at a real desk, ice in it.
- Tell them what to film: charge it, blend ice at a desk, show it finishes, drop the code. Do not ask for a 10-blender test. Ask them to blend ice at a desk on one charge.
- Give each creator their own code. Unique codes, not a 10-blender roundup.
- Do not run a launch day on the same morning if you wanted isolation.
- Two follow-ups, then stop. If you do this right, ie at scale, you will have many other creators to choose from.
Doing the scroll by hand is kind of soul-crushing. Like a kitchen-renovation and you will leave the break-room people. No demo. No download guarantee. You approve every creator and every rate.
Died-at-work rants already have the audience; a live cup with a named charge time is the demo.
