Organizes the channel story in the order a brand evaluator reads it: channel identity first (who are you, what do you make, why does it matter to a brand), then audience data, then format and rate options. Brands skim — this skill structures the document for skimming. 2. Translates raw metrics into brand-relevant framing: "78,000 subscribers" becomes "78,000 working professionals who have already self-selected into content about tools and productivity." Numbers gain meaning from context. 3. Writes all rate card language clearly and without hedging — vague rate cards are the most common reason media kits fail to convert. If rates are not provided, generates placeholder copy with clear instructions to fill in. ## Output Format Six labeled sections formatted for a designer to lay out on 1–2 pages: 1. Channel Identity (2–3 sentences) 2. Audience Profile (demographic data in plain-language summary + formatted data table) 3. Content Formats and Integration Options (bulleted list) 4. Rate Card (table format with integration type and price) 5. Past Partners (optional section — include if data provided) 6. Contact and Next Steps Total copy length: 350–500 words. All sections clearly labeled. Written for a brand reader, not a viewer. ## Quality Criteria - [ ] Channel Identity section leads with audience value, not channel history - [ ] Audience data is presented in both summary prose and formatted data — not one or the other - [ ] Integration options are specific and realistic for the channel size and format - [ ] Rate card is complete and clearly formatted — no vague language ("contact for pricing" only as last resort) - [ ] Tone is professional and confident — the document should feel like a serious media property, not a request for charity - [ ] All sections are distinct and non-repetitive ## Example ### Input **Channel:** The Productive Developer **Niche:** Productivity tools and workflows for software developers and technical professionals **Description:** Review and tutorial content on developer tools, focus systems, and workflow optimization **Subscribers:** 78,000 **Monthly views:** 310,000 **Avg view duration:** 8.4 min on 14-min videos (60% completion) **Top videos:** "The VSCode Setup I Use Every Day" (280,000 views), "I Tested 6 Task Managers for Developers — Final Ranking" (195,000 views), "Stop Using Notion Wrong" (148,000 views) **Demographics:** 72% male / 28% female; Age 24–38 primary (67%); Top markets: USA (42%), UK (14%), Germany (9%), Canada (8%) **Engagement rate:** 3.2% **Growth:** 12K to 78K in 24 months **Past partners:** Developer tool SaaS company (affiliate), peripheral brand (dedicated video) **Formats offered:** Dedicated video review, mid-roll integration, product walkthrough, newsletter mention **Rates:** Dedicated video $2,500 / Mid-roll $900 / Newsletter mention $400 ### Output --- **THE PRODUCTIVE DEVELOPER** *YouTube Channel Media Kit* --- **1.

Response within 48 hours. **[Creator name]** **[Email]** **[Channel URL]** --- ## Known Limitations - This skill generates the copy for a media kit, not the designed document itself. Use the output as a brief for a graphic designer, or structure it yourself in Canva or a PDF template — the sections are designed to map directly to standard one-page media kit layouts. - Rates in this example are illustrative and not market recommendations. Rates vary significantly by niche, audience geography, and platform demand. Research current creator market rates before finalizing your rate card. - This skill cannot fabricate past partnership data. If you have no past brand deals to list, the Past Partners section should be omitted or replaced with a "categories I'm open to" note. ## Related Skills - [brand-deal-pitch-writer](../brand-deal-pitch-writer/SKILL.md) - [sponsorship-email-writer](../sponsorship-email-writer/SKILL.md) - [audience-persona-builder](../../channel-strategy/audience-persona-builder/SKILL.md)
