TRAVEL BLOG
Let’s be real—if you want to land paid brand deals as a travel creator, you NEED a media kit. I’m not talking about some boring, cookie-cutter PDF with generic stats. I mean a media kit that screams YOU, grabs a brand’s attention, and makes them think, “We HAVE to work with this person!”
When I first started pitching to brands, I had around 1,000 followers. Yep, just 1,000! But with a strategically designed media kit, I was able to lock in collaborations with travel brands, hotels, and even product-based companies that fit my travel lifestyle. The key? A media kit that showcased my personality, skills, and value—NOT just my follower count.
Now, I’m spilling all my secrets on how you can do the same, and at the end, I’m sharing my ACTUAL media kit template with you! Let’s dive into how to create a media kit that stands out and gets brands to say YES!
What is a Media Kit & Why Do You Need One?
A media kit is your digital resume for brand collaborations. It tells brands: ✅ Who you are ✅ What you offer ✅ Why they should work with you ✅ What kind of content you create ✅ Your past collaborations (if any!)
Think of it as your first impression—so make it count!
Step 1: Start With a Standout First Page
The first page of your media kit sets the tone. Here’s what to include:
👉 Pro tip: This is your first shot at making an impression—inject personality! Don’t just say, “I’m a travel content creator.” Say something like, “I’m an adventure-seeking, sunset-chasing travel storyteller who helps brands shine through engaging content.”
Step 2: Show Off Your Best Work (Portfolio Pages)
Now it’s time to let your content do the talking. Dedicate pages to showcasing your best photos and videos.
👉 Hot Tip: Brands want to SEE what you can do. Don’t overload them with random photos—select high-quality images that align with the types of brands you want to work with.
Step 3: Clearly List Your Services
What exactly can brands hire you for? Be crystal clear. ✔️ Sponsored Instagram posts/Reels ✔️ TikTok videos ✔️ Blog posts ✔️ Hotel & tourism board collaborations ✔️ Product photography & videography ✔️ Affiliate marketing partnerships
👉 Make it easy for brands to see what you offer! If you’re open to negotiation, mention that too.
Step 4: Highlight Past Collaborations & Testimonials
If you’ve worked with brands before, showcase them! Create a page that includes:
No past collaborations? No problem! Skip this page for now and add it once you secure your first deal.
Step 5: End With a Strong Call to Action
Your last page should wrap everything up with:
