because I (Em) as Creative Director want to talk to you about how we can help showcase your product. how it could fit into our shows/content.

especially if you as the brand are reaching out to the creator. it feels rather disrespectful and shows a lack of understanding of how this industry and space operates. feels pretty unprofessional.
we as creators have passion for what we do. & we want to showcase your stuff.

I also want to recognize the privilege of being approached for sponsorship. I'm so grateful that people want to help us make our content at BW.
at the end of the day, kindness & respect are a free action, folks. goes a long way to building a connection when working together. 🤷♀️
