2) Map decision-makers: brands like SuperYou often get comms via marketing managers, brand partnerships, or new business units. Look for PR contacts on official site, LinkedIn, or ad agencies (Think9/Nova9 style agencies are scaling creator-led ops — see BuzzinContent / afaqs).
3) Build a mini-case: create 2–4 Spotify assets — short workout podcast ep (10–15 min), 30-min branded playlist, and a 7–10 min post-workout talk explaining supplement basics (evidence-led, non-medical). Use data: listens, completion rate, saves.
4) Pitch hook: open with a market insight — Indian consumers now demand research-backed claims; point to SuperYou’s move into creatine as an example of category evolution. Add local proof: show Zambia/ROW case studies where science-led messaging lifted conversion.
5) Offer measurable pilots: propose a 4-week pilot — KPI: plays, completion, CTA clicks to brand landing page, store check-ins (if brand uses tools like naoo Generation V for offline measurables — see GlobeNewswire/ManilaTimes). Price the pilot as revenue-share/ad CPM or fixed fee with performance bonuses.
6) Legal & compliance: avoid health claims. Use evidence summaries from peer-reviewed studies; keep language “supports performance” not “cures”. This protects creator and brand.
7) Scale via agencies: if direct reach is tough, approach India creator agencies or new units like Nova9 (BuzzinContent). Offer collaboration where agency introduces you into a bigger campaign.
