How do you get PR packages as a creator?

You see them everywhere. Creators unboxing PR packages, attending events, getting early access to new drops.

And the question we get all the time from creators is: how do I get on those lists? What do I need as a creator?

What brands and agencies are looking for in creators

Most creators think PR starts flowing in when they “become big enough”. In reality, it works differently.

Brands and agencies are not just looking for reach. They are looking for creators across all tiers.

Content is what gets you noticed

This is where everything starts. If you are not posting consistently, you are simply not visible enough to be selected. Most PR lists are built by scanning the market. Agencies and brands are constantly looking for creators who:

• post regularly

• have a clear style or format(s)

You do not need to be perfect, authenticity beats perfection. But you do need to be active. Because if you are not creating, there is nothing to discover.

Relevance beats reach

You do not need a massive following to receive PR.

What matters more is:

• are you relevant for a specific audience?

• Do you have a strong community

• does your content align with a certain category or brand?

A smaller creator with strong positioning and clear audience is often more valuable than a large creator without a personal brand. Because PR is not about exposure alone. It is about fit.

What you do after receiving PR matters

Getting on a PR list is one thing. Staying on it is something else. This is where many creators miss the opportunity.

If you receive a product and you like it, actually post about it. Brands and agencies oftentimes track who creates content with what they send. That is how you move from one time gifting to recurring collaborations.

Make yourself visible to the right people

Besides being discovered organically, there are also ways to be more proactive.

You can:

• sign up for PR or creator lists via agencies (btw send us an email at hello@scooperz.com if you want to be considered for our list)

• respond to creator calls in stories or posts (we post stories in our instagram if we are looking for specifc creators)

• attend events where brands and creators connect

This increases your surface area. Because ultimately, PR is not just about sending products. It is about building relationships with creators who can represent the brand.

Final thought

If you remember one thing, let it be this:

You do not get on PR lists because of your reach.

You get on PR lists because of what you do and how you show up.
