The math behind getting more brand deals
Scout24 turns brand outreach from guesswork into a measurable pitch funnel: better contacts, faster sends, earlier signals, more replies, and more chances to close.
Illustrative benchmark model based on a paired pre/post study design. Replace with measured customer data as cohorts complete.
Creator pitching is broken because the funnel is invisible
Most creators aren't losing deals because their content is bad. They lose deals because the outreach system is slow, random, and hard to measure.
Creators waste hours looking for the right person to email.
Pitches get buried in info@, support@, and dead brand inboxes.
Every pitch starts from scratch, so creators send fewer than they should.
By the time a public brief appears, hundreds of creators are already applying.
Scout24 fixes the funnel in four places
The product doesn't rely on one magic feature. It compounds small improvements across every step of the outreach funnel.
Surface brands with signals that suggest they're open to creator partnerships.
- Hiring marketing roles
- Running creator campaigns
- Launching new products
- Working with similar creators
Reach real decision-makers instead of generic inboxes.
- Partnerships leads
- Influencer marketing managers
- Brand managers
- Founders & agency contacts
Drafts tailored to the brand, campaign, niche, and creator profile.
- Beauty → skincare launch
- Fitness → activewear
- Food → local restaurant group
- Gaming → hardware
Pitch before opportunities become saturated.
- Before public briefs
- Before agency casting calls
- Before seasonal launches
- Before everyone else applies
How we measure whether Scout24 works
A paired pre/post design compares each creator or manager against their own baseline.
The benchmark funnel moved at every stage
Illustrative paired effects from the Scout24 results model.
| Metric | Baseline | Scout24 | Effect | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pitches sent / seat / week | 6.3 | 21.8 | 3.46× | More shots on goal |
| Open rate | 22.0% | 41.3% | 1.88× | Better contacts |
| Reply rate | 4.1% | 13.8% | 3.37× | Better fit and relevance |
| Pitch-to-won rate | 0.9% | 3.6% | 4.01× | Better targeting and timing |
| Deals won / seat / 8 weeks | 1.2 | 4.0 | 3.33× | More converted opportunities |
| Time to send pitch | 38 min | ~9 sec | Major | Outreach becomes instant |
| Time to first deal | 41 days | 17 days | Faster | Earlier path to revenue |
| Avg deal value | $1,420 | $2,180 | 1.18× | Exploratory, not headline |
The strongest and most defensible effect is speed. Removing the contact hunt and blank page makes more pitching mechanically possible, the commercial lift then compounds: better contacts increase opens, better targeting increases replies, and earlier signals improve the chance of winning before a brief gets crowded.
From 100 pitches to won deals
The funnel shows where Scout24 creates lift.
Verified contacts make pitches more likely to be seen.
Personalized, better-timed outreach makes brands more likely to respond.
Live-budget targeting and pre-brief timing create cleaner opportunities.
Small wins at each stage multiply into a much bigger overall deal rate.
Effect sizes, not just percentages
A real results page should show confidence, not just hype.
Anything clearly to the right of 1.0× suggests improvement. The deal-value row is weaker because revenue is naturally noisy, one large contract can move the average. That's why this page treats deal value as exploratory rather than the headline.
Winning earlier matters
The best brand deals are easiest to win before everyone else sees the brief.

Not a guarantee of earnings. A funnel model to show how outreach volume and conversion rates interact.
The lift is not the same for everyone
Scout24 helps different creator segments in different ways. The biggest relative lift appears where the baseline process is weakest.
Removes research and writing burden from one-person creator businesses.
One manager applies the workflow across multiple creators.
Smaller creators usually have the weakest baseline access to brand contacts.
Bigger creators have stronger inbound, so the relative lift is smaller but still valuable.
What this looks like in real creator workflows
Example workflow models, not real customer promises.
Finds a beauty brand preparing a product launch, pulls the partnerships contact, and pitches before the public creator brief goes live.
Identifies activewear and supplement brands currently investing in influencer partnerships.
A local food creator finds restaurants, hospitality groups, and drinks brands with active campaign signals.
A manager with 8 creators pitches the same brand across multiple relevant creator profiles.
A creator with 18K followers targets smaller brands more likely to respond to niche creators.
The formula is simple
Find brands more likely to be active, hiring, launching, spending.
Reach real decision-makers, not generic inboxes.
Discovery to pitchable opportunity in seconds.
Move before public briefs become crowded.
Not magic. Funnel math.
