Notes from the desk where creator media kits are written, shipped, and argued over.

An editorial hub for the 41,300+ creators and talent managers who use MediaKit2010. Inside: the annual Creator Sponsorship Report, hands-on outreach playbooks, integration announcements, and founder essays from the team that built the platform in 2018.

Published quarterly from San Francisco. Edited by the MediaKit2010 founding team.

The 2024 Creator Sponsorship Report

The single largest dataset on creator-to-sponsor outreach, published once a year.

Our flagship annual report. Built from 1.4 million sponsor-pitch email sends that moved through MediaKit2010 contact forms in 2024 — and the follow-up response data that came back. We publish it so creators stop pitching blind, and so talent managers can stop quoting outdated benchmarks.

3.2days

Median time-to-first-sponsor-response for Pro creators — versus the 11-day industry benchmark.

Custom-domain kits now ship with built-in open-tracking and a PDF export.

We started MediaKit2010 in 2018 because we were tired of emailing sponsors a Dropbox link and hoping for the best. The journal exists for the same reason — to give creators the research, the templates, and the editorial honesty we wished we'd had when we were on the other side of the pitch.
