What a CastWorks brief looks like.

This is what a finished brief looks like. Each entry below represents a creator who has been vetted, contacted, and confirmed interested: four to six hours of human work behind a single name. Brand and creator names are changed; the structure is from a real engagement.

Built for
Veridian (a fictional brand, redacted from a real engagement)

Small home-goods brand. Sub-$30K monthly marketing budget. Looking for creators with a slow-living audience that overlaps their kitchenware line.

Selection criteria

  1. 01 Audience overlap of 70%+ with home / lifestyle category
  2. 02 8K–500K subscribers: engaged-reach, not vanity reach
  3. 03 English-speaking, US / UK / CA / AU primary audience
  4. 04 Has run at least one previous brand integration that landed cleanly
  5. 05 Aesthetic fit: warm, slow, considered, not high-frequency lifestyle vlog
