Are you looking to team up with Smoke & Sear for a sizzling collaboration? You’re in the right place!
As a BBQ enthusiast and ‘influencer’ (oh I do hate that word), I offer multiple ways to work together to boost your brand’s presence and reach. From affiliate partnerships to ambassadorships and content creation projects, there’s a collaboration opportunity to suit your goals.
Let’s dive into the details!
As a BBQ enthusiast and influencer under the Smoke & Sear brand, transparency and fairness have always been my top priorities. I believe in supporting as many brands and businesses as possible without being tied down to long-term commitments, which could limit my ability to help others in the BBQ community.
To ensure I maintain this level of transparency and continue to provide maximum value to all partners, I have created these collaboration guidelines.
These guidelines outline the various ways we can work together and the value of each type of content, serving as a foundation for our collaboration.
I am open to discussing further details or modifications as needed.
In addition to my personal collaborations, I have put a significant effort into bringing the BBQ community together and making it easier for brands and companies to connect with influencers and cooks of all sizes. My initiatives include:
A free, interactive UK BBQ Map featuring hundreds of people, making it easy to find and connect with local businesses, influencers and cooks.
The BBQ Community Product Review Platform, which aims to support BBQ businesses and enthusiasts alike by providing a space for honest reviews and content creation, helping everyone to feel valued and recognized for their contributions to the BBQ community.
Together, we are more powerful than any individual alone, and I am committed to using my platform to uplift and support the entire BBQ community.
As of today the Smoke & Sear platform boasts the following reach across various channels:
Affiliate: In an affiliate collaboration, I ask for a minimum commission of 7.5% on any sales generated through my promotional efforts. This helps ensure fair compensation for the work I put into promoting your brand and products.
Ambassador: As an ambassador, I’d receive a monthly ‘care package’ containing products that align with the content you’d like me to create (see services and pricing). Each month, you’ll also automatically get the £200 credit towards my content creation services. This way, we both benefit from our ongoing partnership, and your brand receives consistent exposure.
To ensure a good fit for both parties, we’ll initiate a 3-week trial period, after which we’ll review our agreement before entering into a more lengthy commitment. Once confirmed, the collaboration will last a minimum of 6 months, unless otherwise agreed upon by both parties.
Content Creator: For one-off or project-based collaborations, you can refer to the “Content Creation Services and Pricing” section. This allows you to choose specific deliverables and pricing options to suit your brand’s needs and budget.
Transparency and honesty are at the core of my content creation process. I will always provide genuine and honest opinions in all content I create, whether it’s a positive or negative experience.
In the event of a negative experience, I will give the brand or company the opportunity to review the content before it is posted, allowing them the choice to cease the arrangement before the content is made public.
Additionally, any posts on social media or my website will clearly disclose the nature of our partnership, whether it’s part of an affiliate, ambassador, or content creation project.
I offer a range of content creation services with different values, allowing brands and businesses to choose the best fit for their needs:
When I accept a collaboration, the brand or company will automatically receive £100 credit towards my content creation services. If the retail price of a gifted item + the ‘credit’ is more than the cost of a single post, the client can choose any of my offerings until the value is repaid. This ensures a fair value exchange for both parties, as well as providing an opportunity for small companies to participate.
All content created by me in connection with our collaboration will remain my intellectual property. However, I grant the brand or company a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and distribute the content on their own platforms, provided that they credit me as the content creator.
In conclusion, Smoke & Sear offers a variety of collaboration opportunities, allowing brands to choose the best fit for their needs and budget. With a focus on transparency, fairness, and community support, we can work together to create a mutually beneficial partnership that showcases your brand to a highly engaged BBQ community.
